In the beginning of the year 125, the lions of the Manor of Strategy were feasting once more. Another victory had been achieved over the Zebras of the Absolute Grasses, and at last the fools were no more.
Towards the great war lord stepped a sphinx, who dropped to his knees, and in the tradition of the Lions, said "Father, on bended knee I ask thee: raise thy eyes. We, the sons of Acal await thy command. Born under the sign of the lightning do we stand and here we all may die, with our blood on the ground. Let the battle horns sound. Let thy Griffons fly!"
The war lord acknowledged the sphinx, an unblooded male. "What is it thy request, O my son?"
"Father, thy unchallengable rule is mighty! But mightier still it would be, O my father, if thy armies were to establish a new outpost on this river, to prevent thy enemy from accessing the resources here. O my father, thy son beg of thee the opportunity to found an outpost there."
At this, there was much talking through the room. An unblooded, to lead an expedition of the sort? It was unheard of!
But the war lord pondered the idea, and found it to his liking. "Very well, O my son. Thy wish is granted. Take thy pick of the unblooded here, and the blessing of Acal be upon you."
The sphinx nodded, bowed once more, and left the room.
A month later, they had arrived at the location for the outpost, by the traditional method to be called Whiskeredscorch. The group, who had taken to calling themselves 'The Comet Star', in honour of their patron, Acal, consisted of three males, four females. Of the males, there were two sphinxes, and one griffon. Of the females, there was one griffon, two manticores and one sphinx.
The leader, by the name of Seneor, had organised them well. The two manticores had been relegated to mining, to dig out the fortress which would hold supplies as well as providing a last defence, should it be necessary. The other two sphinxes had been told to deforest the area. The last thing they needed was an enemy ambush to come through the trees. The griffons were the builders and butcherers for now, and he was the hunter. He fiddled with the bow in his hand, and prepared for the hunt.

Rightio. We don't want any insane antics here. Those are for Glitterglen. Otherwise it should be a typical community fortress.
It's running the MLF mod, with a few changes. Firstly, as befits the warrior society of the lions, all militia captains, and the commander himself, are exempted from punishments. The lions also have the ability to mine and refine metal.
