Welcome to Gaia! ::

Before the Ancient City of Khmunu was cursed by a Dark Priestess, the city was full of a very proud and intelligent race, the Sphinx. But outside that city, in the wilds beyond the Oasis, lived the Lions. Not as intelligent as their city friends, the Lions were mighty hunters and keepers of an ancient magic. The Lions were water callers. In any other part of the ancient world, their magic would have gone unnoticed. But in the desert where they lived, their magic kept them and their friends alive. When the Dark Priestess cursed the Sphinx to become stone statues, the Lions hid and waited, knowing that one day the curse would end and the City of Khmunu would be rebuilt. However, as centuries past, the Lions slowly began to forget. Forget their knowledge, intelligence and magic. All but a small group lost their lineage, a group who hid themselves near the ruins of Khmunu, keeping their magic strong and vowing to be there to greet the Sphinx when they returned. This group of Lions would help rebuild the city and join as one of the peoples of the New Khmunu.
