Emperor and Empress of the Stones

'Well, my dear?' Obbler asked Safi, his new bride and light of his life. Together, seated on a rocky ridge with backs to the Elephant Graveyard and (further away to the south) the Pridelands, they looked out across the great grassy prairie that lay at their feet as the night turned to day. The dawn stars twinkled bright - but not as brightly as Obbler's eyes, filled with determined excitement.

'What do you think, Safi? It is not much to look at - little more than a stone-ridden prairie. But it has food and water. More importantly, it is unclaimed land. It can be ours, Safi! The potential is great, the opportunities innumerable! This! This can be our Kingdom of the Stones. As Emperor and Empress will shall rule it . . . '

Obbler and Safi have left the Pridelands to journey in search of land they can call their very own. This was the start of a vast and mighty kingdom.
