Heirs of Bwa DakinshiMany centuries ago, Bamaliwuni was a place scattered with many squabbling tribes, very unlike the warlords that developed later. They lived under the yoke of the Djinnakah Sultanate that established tribute over each of them, controlling the entire region from their outposts at the mouths of large rivers. When this empire collapsed, a power vacuum emerged, throwing the tribes into endless war that ended in a formation of a state that people call Bwa Dakinshi, the same one that the warlords struggle endlessly to recreate. But the part of that history that the warlords do not remember is that this state still lives. \n\nThe clan and the heirs of the great unifier Mauya Venomrisker are still standing, hidden in the mountains, despite the many rebellions that faced them; as long as they stand, no one can dare name themselves Bwa Dakinshi.

The Tainted LineageNot so long ago, the clan of Death Bringing Cobra was on the verge of regaining their lost heritage. The entire north of Bamaliwuni stood open to them after their capture of Inshibonde and no one could stand against them; the sprawling state of Katidariga had just collapsed, the warlords of Gumti had already succumbed and offered their services, while Kaziradoka stayed encircled with no allies to support them. \n\nBut no one suspected the enemy to come from within. The traitor named Kwizera struck in a swift coup that murdered most of our clan. The remnants escaped to the high mountains, led by Kuende, the first wife of the matriarch. Yet in her guidance, a dark truth was hidden, as she sold herself to the Hags a long time ago. No one is truly aware of the scale of the danger she truly poses, but one thing is known. The child she took with herself, the true heir to the Bwa Dakinshi, bears the same dark aura as her, and only time will tell what dark thoughts possess his mind.

The Poor and The StrongThe reality of a warlord society is ruthless. Competitors are plenty and the resources scarce and centered in few places. Those who are not strong enough find themselves working for the sole benefit of their local warlords, while those who dare try to fight the existing hierarchy, duel their way into the higher position amongst the Munitaragomo to hopefully reach the top of the hierarchy as the Vitaragomo of the warband.\nWhile this means that only competent fighters advance to the top, this also adds to the instability of the region, as warlords incessantly rebel against their former overlords.

Unfiltered MockeryIt isn’t really a secret that warlords largely despise each other. The net of personal grudges between the Vitaragomo has been dense for years with few ends unconnected, effectively stymying any attempt at diplomacy that is not a simple demand for capitulation. \nSo far goes this devotion to not liking each other that some animosities are now built artificially, by a peculiar custom that emerged something over hundred years ago. \n\nThe lesser warlords sit down with the Vitaragomo near a large table. Some of them see paper for the first time in their lives, as they hear the name of the warlord that is the topic of the meeting. For the following six hours, the meeting will proceed as its members write out a series of convoluted and obscene insults towards a certain warlord; this is then sent to the victim, who upon delivery must read it aloud to the laughter of his subjects, risking great shame if he doesn’t.

Freshly Made Beans and WeaponsThe demand for iron for weapons and luxuries for the rich never runs out. \nDespite the poor state of the economy and the dangers that the region’s trade routes bear, there are still traders brave and insane enough to traverse the lands of Bamaliwuni, looking to secure its riches and carry them to the port cities. The upside is worth it though, as those who manage to make the trip find themselves richer than most Dakinshi, able to afford a lavish lifestyle for the rest of their lives just with a few ventures.

War DruidsPreviously serving as the spiritual leaders of the Dakinshi society, the druids of the Beast Memory serve as the reminders of once broken link between humans and animals. Brought up from those magically gifted across the land, they organize themselves at the natural meeting points of animal herds, protecting these vital positions against any interference that would disrupt the natural order. \n\nWhile typically peaceful in their behavior, the times of strife have proven dangerous enough to change some of the druids' stance to a more offensive one, joining the many warlords of the land in a proactive effort to keep out everyone who does not care about the environment.

Dreams of a Reborn EmpireAcross the land, there is a common impetus driving every warlord’s mind. A desire to win, to squash one’s opponents under their feet, best them in battle, lay upon their corpses and dance on their graves. The dream of an empire that toppled not so long ago as to be forgotten, but long enough to be romanticised through second-hand nostalgia. The ambition to become something bigger, to be remembered, to be unlike the others. To make oneself known, feared, respected and acknowledged as the single, true unifier to the empire they forged with blood, sweat and tears. This will be the ultimate price of the new Bwa Dakinshi.
