Nyumbani

Nyumbani

"Nyumbani" is the fantastic setting of Charles R. Saunders' original Imaro trilogy. It details a fictional Africa with an alternate history that diverges from our own in very interesting ways. Magic exists, and the Cape Buffalo, Rhino and Zebra have been domesticated and used as both pack animals and war steeds. And strange, twisted creatures stalk the land, living artifacts dating back to the Mizungu War that took place a thousand years previous to Imaro's time. Evil exists in the form of the demonic Mashaatan and their many servants. Advanced African empires rule the continent of Nyumbani, foremost among them is Cush.
