Golden Suns
Main Terrain(s):
Forest with many rocky ravines and gorges, mostly around stream beds.
Camp/Den Site:
A dry, rocky ravine.
Landscape would generally look a lot like these. (Images belong to Blackthorn. She took them on a family outing.)

Who can join:
Any lion of any sub species really could join, but geographically, it makes the most sense for Fallen Stars and Forest Lions to join the Golden Suns. However, if you character has traveled far to join the Golden Suns, who are they to turn you away
Typical Personality Traits
Moral, loyal, proud, kind, brave.
Group Standards:
Brighter colored pelts with dark manes, but rarely black manes. Amber eyes are the most common.
Other Info:
Golden Suns are likely to die in battle, even more so than other Great Lions. They will all gladly lay down their life for a just cause, or for the life of another, even a complete stranger.
Golden Suns are mostly Standard Great Lions, but it is not odd for a few to be slightly bigger than the average size.
Golden Suns prefer to fight an enemy head on, but this does not mean they go blindly into battle. They just like to see their opponent and that their opponent can see them. Because most Golden Suns are standard great lions, they can fight nearly anywhere, but are more adept with rocky areas then other standard great lions.
Fallen Stars
Main Terrain(s): Heavily shaded, thick forest
Camp/Den Site: An area slightly less thick tree cover. Thorn bushes surround it except for the entrance.
Who can join: Anyone but Snow Lions. No Snow Lion, no matter what their past or personal beliefs would ever be caught dead with the Fallen Stars lions... or rather they'd only be caught dead with them.
Group Standards: Dark pelts, usually with cream or faded cream under markings(rarely white ones), normally slightly bigger than typical SGLs, but not by much. "Red", of course, can occur, but it's more uncommon among the Fallen Stars.
Typical Personality Traits: Secretive, evasive, wise, stealthy.
Other Info:
The Fallen Stars are said to be the descendants of the Fallen Gods and demon-kin, but the Families have come to believe a different story, and that is that they are the descendants of stars who were casted down into the mortal realm. Whatever the story is, these dark colored lions are both revered and feared for their dark beauty and skills with healing. It is said they were the first healers among Great Lions back when they were nomadic, and they taught their gift to others, spreading it to all Great Lions.
Ocean and Tide Family
I separate these for some things like this: Ocean|Tide (Ocean's will be on the left, Tide on the right.)
Main Terrain(s): Mostly grassy coastal territory with a small stretch of beach.|Grasslands that blend into marsh and estuaries as you get closer to the sea.
Camp/Den Site: A bit of land near the beach, but not quite on it.|A large island in the marsh.
Who can join: Other coastal lions would make the most sense, but any lion but Cloud, Mountain, and Snow lions can join(that thick fur can really hold you down when wet!). Oh, and of course you have to like water!
Group Standards:
Typical Personality Traits: Stubborn, loyal, fierce, cunning.
Other Info:
Both of these are really one pride, they just split up a long time ago in order to claim and defend more territory. If you're part of one, the other will consider you one of them as well. In reality, the only difference it makes is which camp/den site you stay at and who your orders come from.
Cloud Family
Main Terrain(s): Highlands(both rocky and grassy) and plateaus.
Camp/Den Site: A rocky camp, sheltered on both sides by sheer cliffs. There are a few caves, mostly used for the nobles and official gatherings.
Who can join: Cloud and Mountain lions are truly the only ones who can completely do well in this territory, and of course Snow Lions, but then again, it would be odd for the largest to be joining the pride of the smallest lions...
Group Standards: Grays and lighter colors are the typical colors. Sometimes under markings can be dark instead of light.
Typical Personality Traits: Proud, wise, agile, tough.
Other Info:
Mountain Family
Main Terrain(s): Mountains.
Camp/Den Site: An area nestles between cliffs, sheltering the dens from the cold mountain winds.
Who can join: Really, anyone who can climb well. Naturally, this would be Cloud, Snow, and other Mountain lions, but Great Lions are generally well adaptable.
Group Standards: "Gray" is a common color, as well as lighter creams. In rare cases white is possible.
Typical Personality Traits: Peaceful, kind, welcoming, warm.
Other Info:
Despite their peaceful nature, Mountain Family will defend their lands with their life if under threat, they just sometimes realize there's a threat too late. Being the largest among the families, in physical size that is, they are not ones who others want to mess with though.
Snow Lions
Main Terrain(s): Snowy mountains, but also the foothills of the mountains and valleys.
Camp/Den Site: A series of large caves near the top of one of lower mountains. Fires are lit throughout the camp.
Who can join: Snow lions and white or off white SL hybrids.
Group Standards: Basically Snow Lion build, white or off white(pure white is more desired), and so on.
Typical Personality Traits: Proud, pompous, determined, and cunning.
Other Info:
(These are just blank ones for my own sake if needed later.)
