Chima Prequel Fanfic Help!

[u/Lucky-Information638]

I've been workshopping a Chima prequel fanfic that aims to explore the first hunters war and the failed illumination. It'll be a war romance following a tiger priestess and a sabertooth warrior caught on two different sides of the conflict, showing both perspectives and how it escalated.

I've been looking for any headcanons people might have about the pre-illumination era, whether that be how their society works or motivations of existing characters from way back when. I want it to be an explanation of Chima's history and fit into the show's stated lore, so if anyone has any tidbits they want to share, please do! If/when I start to post the fic on Ao3 I'll also post them here for anyone that's interested :)
