Lore Fixing/Clarification- The VSI
The Vulture Special Intelligence is a military division of the Brotherhood of Vultures, formed at about the time of the Chima Civil War in the south. Confident that the curse trapping his tribe in the Arctic would be lifted soon, Vamprah founded a spy agency, mainly to infiltrate the Fire Tribes after the curse was lifted. The VSI was soon able to gain information about the southern tribes during the Chima Alliance—Crawler Empire War, however, thanks to a volunteer who came from the south, and thus was exempt from the Vultures' confinement curse, able to go south and back, reporting regularly. Though this spy didn't survive to the time of the curse being lifted, that event nonetheless occurred soon after; Vamprah then sent out at least two VSI agents.
Known members of the VSI include Vergere, Solrac, and Viona, who were sent to gather info on the West Sea, southern tribes, and Fire Tribes, respectively.
Vergere was sent to the West Sea to solve the mystery of the vanished Vulture Fleet. However, Vamprah lost contact with her very soon after, before she discovered anything of note, and she has not been heard from since.
Solrac, the first and possibly only VSI member to not be of vulture species, was a spider captured by the Vultures after entering the north with cold weather gear. He explained the recently evolved Outland tribes' history to Vamprah, and agreed to update the Vultures on events in the south. KIA ([SMASHED] In Action) by the leopard Longfang.
Viona agreed to be a sleeper agent within the Phoenix Tribe, so she had the Vultures' wizard ally at the time, Malgus, use his temporary memory erasure/manipulation spell, making Viona think she was an exile wanting to defect to the Phoenix. Though her memories eventually returned as planned, she remained loyal to the Phoenix Tribe, and even became its Empress, after being literally transformed into a Phoenix through a rare phenomenon when first plugging fire chi. When she refused to make the Phoenix a part of the Empire of Balance, Vamprah and Leodus misunderstood, thinking that her memories hadn't returned, and that she'd been brainwashed into thinking she was always a phoenix.

Hm, interesting conundrum with Viona... i like that.

It was to rectify the discrepancy between the different accounts of her being an exile or a spy.

I'd referenced this conflict on the Arctic North topic, in The Last Reincarnations, and in Galvanor's speech, but I never properly explained the whole thing. So, here's a more detailed summary of my idea (from the Complete Timeline):
838—824 BR
In 826 BR, the Manta Ray Empire discovers the Gryphon Tribe during their voyages; an unintentionally hostile first contact results in the [vibe check] of a gryphon, so Grynix, in accordance with his philosophy, has the ray who [vibe checked] the gryphon hunted down and [vibe checked] himself, spurring the Manta Ray Empire to launch an all-out attack on the Gryphons' island; Grynix orders the Gryphons to fight and never surrender, leading to the tribe's destruction through the Rays' overwhelming force and technological advantage; Galvanor alone escapes, managing to make it past the constant storms surrounding the island using a stolen Ray aircraft; it crashes in the sea near the eastern continent, and a fatigued and amnesiac Galvanor washes up on Chima's shores, where he's found and adopted by the Eagle King.
In 824 BR, the current incarnations of the Phoenix Triumvirate regroup, and Faerin makes a move to take over the Phoenix Tribe, despite her allies urging her not to; she manages to convince some phoenix of the forgotten truth about the Great Illumination, and a sizable portion of the tribe splits off, taking some of the Fire Wing Harnesses with them; unable to destroy the harnesses, Faerin begins building a heavily fortified city to the far north in the Arctic, intending to keep the Fire Wing Harnesses there perpetually, and has her Phoenix spread the word about the Great Illumination, intending to gain more allies; the Peacock King, whose tribe had been reduced to a smaller nomad group after the Tiger—Lion War, allies with Faerin to live in the Purple City, and the Eagle King also decides to ally with them, to keep the Fire Wing Harnesses locked up; the three factions form the Avian Triumvirate; the main Phoenix Tribe, not wanting to risk a civil war that would damage their tribe and its public image even more, elect to leave it be.
Soon after, there begin to be earthquakes rising in magnitude, and the Leopards make the correlation that the earthquakes began after Faerin and her phoenix moved to the Arctic; in a valley on the north-south border, leopard philosophers, historians, and scientists converge and analyze the phenomenon, becoming the first tribe to learn about the Elemental Balance; the Leopard King ventures to the Purple City to urge Faerin to leave the north, explaining that the presence of phoenix there will eventually destroy the continent; Faerin refuses to leave without tangible evidence, and drives the Leopards away; the Leopards relate this information to Chima's other tribes, and the tribes that believe their claim, the Lions, Foxes, and Mammoths, ally with them, forming the Mammalian Confederation.
The Leopards and their allies, now having no choice but to forcefully drive Faerin out of the Arctic as the earthquakes slowly worsen, attack the Purple City after a few more failed negotiations, beginning the Avian Triumvirate—Mammalian Confederation War; despite the AT being the smaller faction, the MC isn't able to break through the defenses of the most technologically advanced city at the time, leading to a long stalemate in the war as the tribes fight small battles across the north and south; the Mammoths' Headquarters is destroyed in 821 BR, and the tribe retreats to regain their strength.
In 820 BR, the AV regroups and launches a brutal surprise attack on the Foxes, who'd been weakened during the war; the Fox Headquarters at the time is destroyed, and the tribe is scattered; the Peacock King, angered at his tribe's former allies the Lions for not taking in his ancestors after the Tiger—Lion War, eventually suggests that the AV attack and conquer Lion City to gain a significant foothold in the south; the Avian Triumvirate, using all of its soldiers, actually manages to [vibe check] the Lion King and drive out the Lions, taking control of Lion City and Mount Cavora, and cutting off the chi supply to the Leopards and Mammoths.
In early 819 BR, the other two Phoenix Triumvirate members (believing the Leopards regarding the Elemental Balance, and having Tenebrae/"Severen" infiltrate the Purple City to take the Fire Wing Harnesses) confront Faerin over her actions; however, Faerin, who's seemingly gone insane, turns on all her allies, [vibe checking] the Peacock King, the Eagle King (but not before he helps Galvanor escape), and the current incarnations of Fal'qar and Zarak, before bringing her phoenix under her direct control through some form of hypnotism; the Peacock Tribe, at the Lion City in its entirety, is nearly wiped out by Faerin's Phoenix, and left scattered and leaderless, unaware that their king had an illegitimate son; the Eagles retreat back to their homeland, where they select a competent leader to falsely claim as the Eagle King's biological son, so as not to put the half-breed Galvanor on the throne.
Lyron's descendant Lynne, temporarily leading the Lions in place of the very young prince, launches an assault to retake Lion City now that the AV has fallen apart; her campaign succeeds, and Faerin retreats back to the Purple City with her brainwashed phoenix; Severen successfully escapes with the liberated Fire Wing Harnesses just before Galvanor arrives ahead of Faerin, planting explosives on the phoenix' airship to sabotage her planned voyage to the West Sea; the Leopards and Mammoths follow Faerin to the Purple City and attack even as she and a third of her army make it out on their airship; Galvanor's sabotage works, and Faerin's ship crashes somewhere in the northwest of the ocean; during the battle, Galvanor is caught in the crossfire as he tries to escape the city, but he falls beneath the Arctic waters, and is frozen instead of killed; the Leopards bomb and destroy the Purple City, eliminating the presence of phoenix in the north, and ending the Avian Triumvirate—Mammalian Confederation War; this, however, drives a wedge between the Mammoths and Leopards, since the former had been planning to take over the Purple City to use as a new headquarters themselves [all memory of the events from 824 to 819 BR were later erased from the minds of Chima's inland peoples by Leodus' spell, due to the involvement of the Mammoths, Leopards, and Phoenix].
818—220 BR
The Mammalian Confederation, now comprised of only the Lions and Leopards, eventually becomes defunct during the long age of peace that follows, though not before one of Lynne's daughters meets and marries a Leopard Prince as a result of the alliance.
At some point, the original Skunk and Beaver tribes fall, and those species become scattered.
