Outsiders

A group of lions who inhabited the Outlands, considered by most prides- especially the Pridelanders- to be enemies. Most of the Outsiders were and remained loyal to Scar, deceased tyrant king of the Pridelands and former mate of their leader, Queen Zira.

Because adequate amounts of food were so difficult to come by in the Outlands most of these lions were thin and look malnourished.

History
Prior to the arrival of Zira and her followers the Outlands were ruled by King Kiume. Kiume was not actually descended from the line of rulers native to the Outlands; instead, he was chosen by King Denali as he lay dying and heirless to be his successor. Kiume took as his queen Ilani and adopted a daughter, Zivia. Their first litter consisted of two males and one female, Kavu, Tao, and Kudumu, though Ilani died as a result of the childbirthing process.

Zivia, traumatized by her own past and the loss of her adoptive mother, fled. Kavu left in search of his older sister and never returned. The loss of half of their family was difficult on the three remaining members of the royal family. When Scar was overthrown both Kiume and his daughter, Tao, returned to the Pridelands. His son, Kudumu, meant to stay and rule the Outlands in his father's place, but was quickly beaten down by Zira when she was exiled. He has lurked in the territory ever since, trying desperately to find a way to undermine the usurper and her terrible plots.

After the Earthquake the once-princess of the Outlands returned to the land of her birth with the orphan cub Mizuka in tow where she reunited and fell in love with Zira's son, Nuka. Their first litter consisted of two sons and a daughter, Taka, Kiu, and Laini. After the Kuraka's attack on the family of six and his subsequent departure from the territory with his family, Zira briefly turned her attention to Nuka's children but found no use for untrained and weak soldiers in her schemes to kill Simba and recapture the Pridelands.

Zira led an attack on the Pridelands in the dead of night after Nuka and his family vanished from the lands and Kovu's betrayal became obvious. It was during this confrontation that she revealed Kovu and Vitani's true parentage. After her failure to kill Simba she and Kiara tumbled off of the side of the cliff. Not wanting to let Kiara and her family win, Zira let go of the cliff and tumbled to her death in the ravine. Simba allowed the Outsiders to come back to the Pridelands and live in harmony with their pride. Those who didn't wish to live with Simba and his pride returned to the Outlands under the rule of Nuka and Tao, and the Outsiders were no more.

Pride Laws
Zira was the only law in the Outsiders pride.
