Current Plotline
Rumors have spread of a boat on the western shores of Africa. Boats are a foriegn creation and rarely show up, and when they do those aboard are either Traders or Takers, some are both. But this boat lies deserted on the shore, with no man aboard and little cargo... Nor any signs of bodies. The Tribe of the Setting Sea rule the land on which the boat lays moored, and their Cheif has declared it a sacred gift from Elegua. Only shamans and Tibe Cheifs are allowed to visit it, and their tribe is flourishing with gifts to the gods from those who wish to see the boat. Elegua appears to smile on the tribe and their sacrifices and the Tribe grows stronger.
But in the north east, just inside the borders of the land we now call Kenya, the Tribe of the Brancing Waters are having problems. Members of their tribe are vanishing mysteriously, and disease is starting to spread throughout the land. Animals are falling ill and dying and the scavengers aren't feasting on them as they used to, allowing the diease to spread worse. The Tribe cheif is seeking the wisdom of the Shamans to help them solve this riddle, but most are on the opposite edge of the Serengetti to see the boat sent by Elegua.
Some of the Shamans still remain, though, and the wisdom of Elegua falls to them... If this disease continues to spread then all of the Serengetti will falter and die.
