Here's what I got so far for the history of the Pridelands

Long ago, shortly after the time of the Ndona Pride, there was a brave and strong young king, Mohatu, the ruler of the Pridelands. He marries Shari, a great-great-granddaughter of the founder of the Ndona Pride, and they produce an heir named Ahadi.

When Ahadi is born, Mohatu and Shari bring him to the Peak of Pride Rock, and present him to their subjects, who greet their future sovereign with excitement and respect.

However, Mohatu and Shari's marriage began to dissolve, fueled by mutual feelings of distrust. Soon after Mohatu saved the kingdom from a drought, he and Shari announced their intention to separate, but remain sovereigns together, for the sake of their son, who was devastated by his parents decision.

Much later, when Ahadi has reached adolescence, he befriends Uru, a young lioness in the pride, and they fall in love.

Ahadi brings Uru before his parents, and requests their blessing to marry.

Mohatu and Shari are happy to comply, and plans for the union commence.

However, before Ahadi could wed Uru, Mohatu becomes dangerously ill with Greencough.

Ahadi and Uru assume several duties, in aid of Mohatu's rapidly declining health, and Ahadi anxiously ponders upon his impending sovereignty.

When Mohatu passes, the entire savannah mourns the loss of a ruler and friend, and Ahadi grieves deeply for the passing of his beloved father.

Ahadi and Uru marry and assume the throne, and Ahadi performs the first act of his reign, abolishing the laws set by his father, an act supported by his mother and mate.

Shortly after their accession, Uru becomes pregnant, and soon produces an heir, whom she and Ahadi name Mufasa.

When Mufasa is presented to the inhabitants of the Pridelands, he is received with the same welcome as his father before him.

Whilst his parents perform their duties, Mufasa is cared for by his grandmother, who showers him with love and affection.

Three months after the birth of Mufasa, Ahadi and Uru welcome their second cub, who is given the name Taka.

Unlike the births of his father and elder brother, Taka's birth is treated with far less happiness and warmth, and his presentation brings few to pay homage to him.

As the brothers grow, Ahadi begins to teach them about the Circle of Life, and the importance of protecting all that follow it. He also inputs knowledge of the greatness of their grandfather.

Taka soon becomes aware of the importance of Mufasa's position, and ruthlessly competes with him for the affection of his family and the kingdom.

When a drought strikes the Pridelands, Ahadi remembering the affect of the previous drought, sends his mate, Uru to search for a water source, whilst he remains behind to take care of the kingdom, and watch over his sons, helped by his mother Shari.

Whilst patrolling with his sons, Ahadi defends an aged mandrill, by the name of Rafiki, from a trio of hyenas.

Ahadi questions Rafiki as to his business in the Pridelands, and Rafiki explains that he sought knowledge. Intrigued, Ahadi invited Rafiki to come to Pride Rock and discuss the kingdom's troubles with him.

Rafiki accepted, and the group returns to Pride Rock, where Ahadi and Rafiki discussed the kingdom's problems for many hours.

At nightfall, Ahadi extended an invitation for Rafiki to sleep at Pride Rock, which Rafiki accepts.

He settles beside Mufasa, and the two discussed the spirits of the Great Kings, with Mufasa revealing his knowledge of Mohatu's presence, and explaining the nature of Taka's relationship with Ahadi.

The next morning, the lioness bring Rafiki a mango to eat, and he settles the top of a tall tree to enjoy his meal.

He overhears Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed discussing Ahadi's kingship and a plot to depose him and his heir, Mufasa, from the throne.

Once the hyenas wandered off, Rafiki hastened to warn Ahadi of the danger, but found that the king was occupied with a crowd of disgruntled animals

In order to calm the crowd, Ahadi promises to deal with the hyenas, but Taka interrupted, reminding his father that he had promised to take his sons hunting that morning.

Regretfully, Ahadi informed Taka that the hunting trip would have to wait, and Taka accuses his father of continually valuing his duties as king over spending time with his family. Ahadi gently explains that being king meant taking on certain responsibilities and that Mufasa seemed to understand this, to which Taka once again accuses his father of favoring Mufasa.

Before Ahadi could offer up a defense, the animals interrupted, claiming that the throne was less important than their current situation. Ahadi agrees and pleas with Taka to understand.

At first, Taka continues to accuse his father of having broken his promise, but then he changes his mood and asks Mufasa to come hunting with him instead. Though Mufasa responds positively, Rafiki suspects Taka of having sinister intentions.

Before departing for the hunt, Taka tells Mufasa that he had something to do first.

A suspicious Rafiki decided to follow him, and witnesses him meeting with Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed at a dry water hole. Taka warns the hyenas that his father was searching for them, and they question him on why he was not out hunting with Ahadi and Mufasa.

Stiffly, Taka explains that plans had been changed, and the hyenas suggested that he make Mufasa look bad so that Ahadi would stop playing favorites with his sons.

Intrigued, Taka agreed, and he promised to deliver the hyenas leftovers from his hunt for their help.

As Taka departed, Rafiki followed him, but along the way, he fell from a tall tree and became unconscious. When he came to, Zuzu was there to help him to his feet and notify him of where Ahadi and his sons were.

In a panic, Rafiki ordered Zuzu, whom he had met and befriend earlier, to fetch Ahadi while he stopped Taka from bringing Mufasa to harm. Zuzu departed at once, and Rafiki followed Mufasa and Taka's scents to where a cape buffalo named Boma was standing belly-deep in a pool of water. Though Taka was nowhere to be seen, Mufasa was cautiously approaching the cape buffalo.

Rafiki asked Mufasa what he was doing, and Mufasa explains that if he could convince Boma to share his water hole, the other animals would be greatly helped.

Before Rafiki could stop him, Mufasa told Boma that he must share his water hole with the other animals until the rains came again. Just then, Taka approached Boma and roared, proclaiming that Boma must either share his water hole or face Mufasa in combat. Furious, Boma charged Mufasa, and Rafiki urged the young prince to run.

Together, Mufasa and Rafiki fled Boma, but Rafiki soon began to slow, and Mufasa ordered him to climb onto his back. Rafiki did as he was told, and Mufasa jumps a nearby ravine, carrying himself and Rafiki to safety. Boma overlooked the jump and fell with a crash into the ravine, where he began to threaten Mufasa for what he had done and promises that Taka would come to harm as well. At Boma's words, Mufasa realizes that Taka was being attacked by the other cape buffalo in Boma's herd, and he bravely throws himself between the herd and his severely injured brother.

Just then, Ahadi arrives at the head of a herd of animals, and rebuked the cape buffalo for attacking his sons. With the help of an elephant, Ahadi bore an unconscious Taka back to Pride Rock, where he recovered under Rafiki's care and Shari's love. Once healed, Taka was chastised by his father, who told him that the scar he had earned would serve as a reminder of his recklessness. Mufasa questions his brother as to why he had angered Boma, and Taka admits that he had wanted to embarrass Mufasa and get even with Ahadi for breaking his promise.

Ahadi gently reminds Taka that instead of hurting his family, he had nearly gotten himself killed. He then encourages Taka to rid himself of his anger and let his wound serve as a reminder of his mistakes. Though at first angry, Taka relents and asks to be called "Scar" from then on.

With Taka healed, Ahadi met with Mufasa, Rafiki, and Zuzu on the Peak of Pride Rock and revealed that Boma's herd had agreed to share their water with the kingdom.

Despite the good news, Ahadi laments his inability to spot small problems before they grew into crises. Rafiki suggests that Ahadi appoint an "eyes and ears" of the kingdom, and when Ahadi wondered who would best fit the job, Rafiki suggests Zuzu.

The hornbill gladly accepts the position, and Ahadi appoints her family to be manordomos to the monarchs of the Pridelands.

After appointing Zuzu, Ahadi asks Rafiki to be his teacher and shaman, and Rafiki gladly accepts, with the condition that he could go on personal quests from time to time. Happy to oblige, Ahadi welcomed Rafiki as his newest follower and declares that a new era is beginning for the Pridelands.

Soon after, Ahadi, Shari, Mufasa, and Scar welcome Uru home, and relate the tale of their adventures, to which Uru responds with shock.

When Mufasa reaches adolescence, Ahadi introduces him to Sarabi, a young lioness who had been orphaned in her youth, and raised by her oldest sister, who was a member of Uru's hunting party.

Mufasa and Sarabi were friendly from the start, felt mutual affection, and were eager to wed.

When they wed, the entire kingdom rejoiced, and warmly welcomed the new Princess of Pride Rock.

Soon after their marriage, Sarabi became pregnant with Mufasa's cub, and their family, the pride, and the kingdom waited for the birth of the cub.

Ahadi decreed that his grandson would hold precedence over Scar, and would be above him in the line of succession, an act that angered Scar.

The birth of the cub, who was given the name Simba, was greeted with the same welcome that had been bestowed upon his grandfather and father.

Several inhabitants of the Pridelands attended his presentation, which was presided over by Rafiki, who lifted him up

(It's not finished yet, I'm planning on including both movies, as well as my version of ROTR, and the births of Simba's grandchildren and grandnieces)
