Editing Land of Chima

{{Rating|unrated}}
{{WIP|Berrybrick}}
== Background ==
The Land of Chima was a kingdom shared by eight tribes of anamorphic creatures: lions, crocodiles, eagles, wolves, ravens, gorillas, bears, and rhinoceroses.

A natural resource called Chi which contains a condensation of nature's raw energy flows through the water from Mount Cavora and is the source of the land's life. The chi is carried by the Cavora River to the Sacred Pool of Chi in the lions' territory. It is here that it blends with minerals to become glowing, blue orbs. If there is too much or not enough Chi contained in the pool, the whole land will feel the effects and natural balance will be altered heavily. To keep the pool from overflowing, the lions share the Chi with friends and foes alike to ensure that it is used.

Chi is used to power vehicles, weapons, and can be a weapon itself, but is often saved as a last resort because it is physically draining. When placed on a chest of an Chima inhabitant, in a special harness they all wear, they will be connected to a more animalistic state with enhanced instincts, powers, and abilities from a surge of life force.

The energy produced by Chi can last for days or hours before losing its glow, evaporating, and returning to nature.

Mount Cavora grants the inhabitants of Chima with not only Chi, but also wheels which are formed from rocks that fell from the mountain. The wheels run on nature and work best when there is lush greenery around them, and poorly in desert and other barren biomes. The wheels are fitted with chariots so the animals can ride them, called [[Speedorz]].

Speedorz are used in tournaments for entertainment and an arena for housing them is located in the Grand Arena of Chima. The arena can be transformed by rare, golden chi to house different obstacles and environments. The winner in a tournament is awarded the golden chi, which every tribe sends representatives for a chance to obtain. For a long time, speedor competitions were used as an alternative to war to solve squabbles.

The Grand Arena of Chima is not the only place where Speedorz are used. They are also used for transport across the extensive world and for amusement by young animals in front of the lions' temple where there is a large, mossy patch.

=== War ===
Peace lasted in Chima for many years between the eight tribes. Though the tribes did not always agree, conflict was avoided by Speedor tournaments. However, when the wise king of the Crocodiles, [[Crominus]], and his queen, [[Crunket]], went missing, their more power-hungry son, [[Cragger]] came to power. Cragger blamed the lions for their vanishing and placed Chi into his chest. It gave him the sense of power he craved, and he wanted more.

Cragger declared war on the lions, to spark a revolution. The crocodiles were joined by the thieving ravens and barbaric wolves, while the lions were joined by the gorillas and calculating eagles. It is unknown which sides the bears and rhinos have chosen.

== Populace ==
The World of Chima includes eight known tribes: the lions, crocodiles, eagles, wolves, gorillas, ravens, bears, and rhinos.
=== Lion Tribe ===
The Lion Tribe's government is known to include a [[Laval's Father|king]], whose name at this point remains unknown, a prince, [[Laval]], and a council of [[Elder Lion|elders]]. The lions' distribute the Chi and maintain the pool which it comes from. Their vehicles, buildings, and monuments are often coloured in an orange-yellow with brown manes and tan accents.

Several members of the Lion Tribe are known, including:
*[[Laval]]: the young prince of the lions.
*[[Laval's Father]]: the lions' king
*[[Lennox]]: a member of the lions' military who specializes in driving vehicles and speedorz.
*[[Longtooth]]: an older lion who though old enough to be on the Council of Elders, still serves as a foot soldier.
*[[Leonidas]]: another foot soldier who is efficient at his job, but can only take one command at a time.
=== Crocodile Tribe ===
The Crocodile Tribe is also run by a king.
*[[Cragger]]: the current king of the Crocodile Tribe who began the revolution against the lions.
*[[Crooler]]: Cragger's twin sister and second-in-command, though she is recognized as being the true leader of the crocodiles in a puppet master style.
*[[Crominus]]: The previous king of the crocodiles who went missing. He is Cragger and Crooler's father.
*[[Crunket]]: Crominus' queen.
*[[Crug]]: described as being a henchman or goon for Cragger.
*[[Crawley]]: another goon.
=== Eagle Tribe ===
The eagles are known for being analytical and having the ability to fly without vehicles. They have a Ruling Council, but the history of a weapon wielded by [[Equila]] suggests some form or another of Eagle Tribe royalty, though it is possibly a thing of the past.
*[[Ewald]]: the current head of the eagles' Ruling Council
*[[Eris]]: is more quick-thinking than the other eagles who are more calculative, but she is still very intelligent. She prefers to be with the earth-bound inhabitants of Chima, like her friend Laval, than her eagle brethren.
*[[Equila]]: the eagles' "flying ace" and proud owner of the Eglaxxor, a weapon with primacy among the Eagle Tribe's royal ones.
*[[Ewar]]: another member of the eagles' army. Ewar is very strict when it comes to following a plan, and is unable to recalculate without receiving a major setback.
*[[Eglor]]: the eagles' head technician.
=== Wolf Tribe ===
=== Raven Tribe ===
=== Bear Tribe ===
=== Rhinoceros Tribe ===

|Description from LEGO.com=
Once a pristine, natural paradise, the Kingdom of CHIMA has become a battle ground for eight animal tribes. Best friends are now enemies. The animals fight for control of a natural resource called CHI, a powerful element that is both a source of life and potential destruction. Only a few brave heroes in CHIMA understand the true nature of CHI, and the possible downfall of CHIMA that will result from its misuse. Their stories, and the stories of those who seek to destroy them, are known as... THE LEGENDS OF CHIMA.

For a thousand years, animal tribes have ruled the land of CHIMA. Lions, crocodiles, eagles, wolves, gorillas, ravens, rhinos and bears lived in peace. They played and worked together, cooperated and prospered - until the outbreak of the CHIMA conflicts.

As the first species to drink from the Ancient Pool of CHI, the Lions had become its sworn protector. No one had ever challenged the Lions' custodianship of the Pool because the Lions had always been reliable and fair with the CHI. Animals throughout the Kingdom relied on the magical CHI orbs to energize their vehicles, gear, and themselves. The orbs were a power source that the Lions had always shared equally with everyone. Eventually, some of the animals got greedy. A young, rogue Crocodile prince named Cragger demanded that his tribe should receive a greater share of the powerful CHI orbs. But the Lions insisted, as they had for a thousand years, that giving too much CHI to any one tribe would upset the natural balance of CHIMA. The Lions only wanted to be fair, and to protect the entire Kingdom. But the Crocodiles didn’t see it this way. A series of minor skirmishes over the Crocodiles’ share of the CHI led to bigger battles.

When the Crocodile Prince Cragger accused the Lions of getting rid of his parents and he became Crocodile King, full-scale conflict broke out between the Crocodiles and the Lions. As conflict spreads, the fate of the Kingdom of CHIMA hangs in the balance…
