Entering for Mystery God God's Name: Meaning:
Domain: Bravado Existing Overlapping Domains: Zeal, Arrogance, Ambition, Conquest, Courage, Determination, Epic Feats, Passion Definition: A bold manner or a show of boldness intended to impress or intimidate. Relevance: Many a mortal often show boldness off to others, whether it's to impress a mate, excel in pride ranks or scare off an enemy. With so many creatures acting out in this manner, surely a god would have formed around such a strong emotion.

Entering for Mystery God God's Name: Yâ [ ʝə ] ( You'd pronounce ' ʝ ' like the ' j ' in ' Ja '. The ' ə ' would be pronounced like the 'e', in taken ) Meaning: It means ' ride ' in a language for a Nomadic culture that I'm making. The language being a Conlang ( constructed language ).
Domain: Nomads Existing Overlapping Domains: Culture, Epic Feats, The Home, Independence, The Lost, Navigation, Orphans, Outlaws, Refugees, Trade, Vigilanties, and Wanderlust. Definition: " A member of a people or tribe that has no permanent abode but moves about from place to place, usually seasonally and often following a traditional route or circuit according to the state of the pasturage or food supply. " Relevance: There are three different kinds of nomads : hunter-gatherers, pastoral nomads, and peripatetic nomads. Worldwide, there are or have been many Nomadic cultures, and there are still a great many within the shifting lands of Africa.
In the confines of Shadows of Africa, there have been a few ' Prides ' that centered on being Semi or Fully Nomadic. Or even momentarily, in the sense of a great upheaval of some kind, and subsequent travel. Some cultural stories from such societies sometimes start this way, either because they were exiled or some other calamity happened and they never settled.
Description: To be honest, his colouration is pleasing, as is. The only markings that I might ad would likely be geometric, but simple.
Marking inspiration for his nose bridge and/or legs : One, Two, & Three
[ Alternatively, we could be really cheeky and make his marking be a message in Morse Code ]
His expression is fine, as well. I think his wings need to be another colour though, perhaps a shade similar to the dark fade just above his toes. Edits: If possible, I would replace his necklace, in favour for either a bandana through his mane or some brightly coloured string jewelry lacing through his mane and a shawl or perhaps, a scarf on his shoulders. Maybe a mix and match? Any of which that is comfortable for you to do.
The design of the scarf or shawl would also be colourful, with geometric and/or floral designs. Perhaps in reds and golds, to stand out against his earthy tones.

Entering for Mystery God God's Name: Juhudi Meaning: zeal
Domain: Adventure! Existing Overlapping Domains: stories? (adventures tell stories right?), mischief? (they get into mischief too), survival (adventures involve surviving), rogues? Definition: adventure could also be considered similar to a quest, though perhaps not with such a defined purpose as a quest. I's about exploring and having fun, discovering new things, places, and creatures. Maybe going on treasure hunts and looking for lost secrets too! Relevance: Everyone likes a good adventure right? Maybe lions and others have left home to go on an adventure, to discover the world and their place in it. A god of adventure could offer some guidance, protection, or even just a bit of extra fun (or danger if that's your thing)
Description: He'd be patterned like my boy Juhudi as this would be a rebirth for him. Some creative license/CC is certainly welcome. maybe add a necklace with a claw, or replace the current one, wings would be cc Edits: maybe a slightly softer expression, a bit more fluffiness

Entering for Mystery God God's Name: Umbango Meaning: Dispute, antagonism, quarrel, feud, match (Zulu)
Domain: Quarrels Existing Overlapping Domains: Conflict, Frustration, Negative Emotions, Passion, Rage, Voice, Words Definition: Quarrel: 1. an angry argument or disagreement. Relevance: Quarrels naturally occur in everyday life, even for SoA! It might be a pride ruler who is arguing with their council, mates who aren't have a good streak, cubs who can't decide on what game to play, members from differing prides who can't fathom the beliefs of another, a son with an overprotective mother.
They can cause problems, but can also relieve tension, reveal underlying issues, and even mend, sometimes.
An emotional-sphered god (though a probably minor one) wouldn't seem out of place.
Plus I just like the idea of a cheeky god flying around SoA land starting quarrels between lions and the like for fun and then flying off.
Description: CC! Edits: CC if you wish!

Entering for Mystery God God's Name: Hisabati Meaning: Math (Swahili)
Domain: Math Existing Overlapping Domains: None that overlap directly, from what I found. Here are ones that may include math as parent domains: Change, Games, Improbability, Learning, The Mind, Organization, Riddles, Strategy, Teaching, Wisdom Definition: The study of mathematics! Specifically, Mathematics is the study of topics such as quantity, structure, space, and change. Relevance: While maybe not concretely focused on by a lot of lions, the concept of math still exists! Even if it's as simple as counting how many cubs you have, or dividing a kill between the members of the pride!
Description: The palette I like how it is, though I would like an ela-like band of mathematical equations and images up his right/visible arm in either darker brown or black, depending on what you think looks better! They can also be mixed with non-math related designs if that helps them look less random. XD I'm not picky! They could fade out at they approach his shoulder. Edits: The pouch open with scrolls/papers coming out at odd angles, and a frown instead of a smile! If possible, I'd love his "fringe"/the fur on his head to look parted and wavy similar to this. Again, it's open to interpretation!
