Bravelands	comment	Bravelands is an ongoing book series by Erin Hunter, starring African wildlife. It's more similar to Seeker Bears than Warrior Cats and Survivor Dogs in that it stars several species of animals together. The first book, Broken Pride, was published in 2017.A lion named Gallant is killed by a group of rival lions, led by Titan. Gallant's young son, Fearless, runs away and ends up snatched by an eagle. He is rescued by a troop of baboons, who decide that he is a good omen and decide to keep him. However, after their leader is killed, Fearless is kicked out of the troop. He returns to his pride, now ruled by Titan, and finds out that his now-blind mother, Swift, is in danger of being kicked out. After Titan's son, Ruthless, is kidnapped by cheetahs, Fearless strikes a deal with Titan to allow his mother to stay in the pride in exchange for rescuing his son.The two other main characters are an elephant named Sky Strider, who can see prophecies as well as being able to read animal bones, and a baboon named Thorn, a low-class Deeproot who wants to become a part of the Highleaf caste. Thorn is in love with a female named Berry, but he can't court her until he moves up in his colony.No relation to the Russian videogame series Braveland.Books The First Arc Broken Pride (June 2017) Code of Honor (February 2018) Blood and Bone (October 2018) Shifting Shadows (May 2019) The Spirit-Eaters (February 2020) Oathkeeper (September 2020) Curse of the Sandtongue Shadows on the Mountain (May 2021) The Venom Spreads (February 2022) Blood on The Plains (October 2022) Thunder on the Plains The Shattered Horn (May 2023) Breakers of the Code (February 2024)

Bravelands / int_18aff462	type	Artistic License â€“ Biology
Bravelands / int_18aff462	comment	Artistic License - Biology: Baboons are described as having claws a few times, which is not true; like other primates, they actually have nails, like humans. Their society is depicted as being entirely meritocratic. In real life Baboon societies are matriarchal and baby baboons inherit whichever rank their mothers have at the time of their birth. Bull elephants live in herds independent from the ones they’re born into. The same thing is true in real-life. However bull elephants are usually depicted in the novels as living with their herd brothers for the rest of their lives. In reality, bull elephants join bachelor herds once they’re too old to remain with their natal herd. Bull elephants leave their bachelor herds once they find a mate or reach a certain age and spend the rest of their lives as loners.

Bravelands / int_52abfd4b	comment	Reformed Bully: They’re several examples of antagonistic characters reforming themselves in this series. One notable example is Nut. He is shown to be teasing others (Most notably Thorn and Mud) in Broken Pride. In Code of Honor however, Nut Allies with Thorn after the former reveals that Stinger was responsible for framing him. Nut even agrees to look after the Starleaf after Stinger orders a hit on her. Unfortunately, Nut is unable to protect her from the Stronbranches once they discover where he and the Starleaf are hiding. After Thorn flees from his troop, he and Nut choose Leopard Forest as their next hideout. There, they discover that another Baboon Troop called Crookedtree lives there instead of being overrun by leopards. When Crookedtree troop holds the two hostage, Nut lies that Thorn was also a Highleaf back in their own troop in order the make things better for the latter as well. Following Stinger’s defeat, Nut is re-accepted into Brightforest Troop alongside Thorn. Resolute. Resulute makes his debut in Code of Honor as a loyal member of Titanpride. He often bullied Fearless and Ruthless. However, he turns on Titan after the latter loses his sanity.

Unsurprisingly, Fearless is not only furious that Stinger took advantage of him, but shocked and heartbroken as well (Especially given the fact That Fearless betrayed Thorn based on Stinger’s deception).

Bravelands / int_c75df49a	type	Shout-Out
Bravelands / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Thorn breaking off his secret relationship with Berry is similar to Lionblaze breaking his friendship with Heathertail in Warrior Cats: Power Of Three. It's rather downplayed since they're in the same troop rather than different Clans, but they're on opposite sides of the caste system. There's also a sprinkling of The Lion King (1994) in "Broken Pride": Fearless' father Gallant is murdered by another lion (like Mufasa being murdered by Scar, though Titan, Gallant's murderer, is not from Gallantpride), and Fearless runs away only to be adopted by another animal species (Fearless is adopted by baboons, while Simba lived with a meerkat and warthog). Fearless even decides to return home and challenge Titan for killing Gallant, while Simba challenges Scar for ruining the kingdom.

Bravelands / int_c8d69cac	comment	Even The Rats Won't Touch It: Of a more spiritual example. The vultures in the Bravelands usually observe the carcass of a killed animal before eating it, to see if the animal was killed according to the Code or not. If so, then they eat. If not, however, the vultures won't eat it, instead taking its bones to the Great Mother to read. When the Great Mother is murdered, the vultures completely forgo their hunger and decide to guard her body.

In Blood on the Plains, Prance gives up her life by jumping and luring Grandmother into a river of lava.

She's calmed down an argument between a zebra and two wildebeests, talked the rhinos down from a rampage, and agrees to let Fearless and Thorn arrange a peaceful impasse with the cheetahs. Her death by an unknown assassin saddens her entire herd, and even the vultures willingly don't eat her body.

But in Code Of Honor, he ends up becoming even more of a dictator and even more close-minded than what he accused the more conservative Grub of being.

Fearless does this and makes Titan promise that he'll let his mother live, and Titan in turn scratches Fearless and makes him promise to bring Ruthless back safe and sound.

Bravelands / int_e596f27b	comment	Star-Crossed Lovers: The reason there are no forbidden relationships is because of a legend of baboon love gone wrong. Sunrise Crownleaf and Moonlight Deeproot (the lowest rank) become mates, but jealousy festered in the troop and fight breaks out between the different ranks. Sunrise is killed in the fight, and Moonlight dies of a broken heart. Thus, they forbid the inter-rank romances with the saying, "Moon and sun shall never be one."

Bravelands / int_e9154c4f	comment	Naming Ceremony: As in most Erin Hunter works, this is used. Fearless' name was originally "Swiftcub" (which is apparently a generic name presumably related to his mother Swift). After several months of age and showing a certain attribute, cubs are given their "true" name. In the third arc, Hyenas are revealed to go trough a similar process. Tailgrabber was named “Cub” at birth. During a hunting trip, Cub was renamed Tailgrabber (in reference to grabbing the tail of prey the clan was hunting). After Tailgrabber was banished she adopts the name “Breathstealer”

But the other animals in the Bravelands reject him.

For example, he thought that killing Snarl would make Fearless happy, because he and Snarl argued a lot. Stinger was also shocked when Pear expressed disgust over his role in Marula Crownleaf's demise. Thunder on the Plains has another example. After Holler wounds Bellow, he expects the Great-Spirit to choose him as leader despite his breakage of the Code. The Great-Spirit wouldn't appoint a Code-Breaker in any position of power.
