BENEVOLENT BEINGS OF JOY

Mysterious yet benevolent creatures, Yumboes hail from a world of ever-present joy. Their lives are dripped in merriment, often dancing all night under the warm glow of the moonlight.

    Spirits

    Check out the Spirits of Kenzera


    Tokoloshe

    Notorious tricksters, those that still lurk in Kenzera are ever-presently hostile.

    Tokoloshe are the warped and corrupted tricketers of life, revelling now in the chaos of their spirit form. 


    ROHO YA RUNGU

    Driven and poisoned by disrupted peace, their minds default to their training—the old tenets of fighting and hostility.

    Ancestral Spirirt Warriors driven and posoned by disrupted pease, Roho ya Rungu are displaced and trapped in the world of the livving. 


    ROHO YA MTUPAJI

    SPECTRAL KENZERAN MARKSMAN

    They are known for their incredible aim and are respected within Kenzera for their ability to hun. So alien are these spirits to this world now that they have warped and transformed their legs burrowing deep into the ground like steadfast statues. 


    ROHO YA NGAO

    VANGUARDS OF HISTORY

    Able to turn the tides of way with just a few incredibly trained warriors, it was said that in life they were born with a shield in their arm. many fell in the battles of history, and the spirits that remain continue to fight like there is no tomorrow. 


    ROHO YA UNWINDAJI

    AGILE WARRIORS OF KIVULI

    Known for their agility and dexterity while using the spear, they now remain as fractured spirits, driven by an unattainable hunt. 


    Roho ya Mtupaji

    Known for their incredible aim, the Roho ya Mtupaji are stranded spirits that have warped and transformed, with their legs burrowing deep into the ground like steadfast statues.

    Formerly ceremonial throwers drafted into combat, these warriors were deadly in the field, dominating tribal warfare with careful strategy and accuracy. 


    ADZE

    WORSHIPPERS OF BA

    intense fanatics, they are devoted to the will of a being known as Ba. Possessing a hivemind, the Adze have been corrupted, consumed and assimilated all in the forlorn pursuit. 


    KONGAMATO

    SURVIVORS OF AN ANCIENT ERA

    Confused, yet quick to adapt, the ancient Kongamato have adopted a brutal agility and pose - trying to survive in a world they no longer belong in. 


    NAMIB

    ANCIENT SPIRIT SERPENTS

    Namibs are the creations of the Inkanyamba, the great serpent that flies between the wrolds devouring those it interprets as failures.

    People

    Check out the people of Kenzera


    ZUBERI

    THE READER OF THE STORY

    Zuberi is a grieving son struggling to come to terms with an immense and sudden loss. It is through Zau, the story his ailing Baba wrote in his last days, that he may find comfort, understanding and acceptance. 


    ZAU

    THE YOUNG SHAMAN OF AMANDLA

    The loss of his Babe brings a heavy toll. Determined, Zau sought out the aid of Kalunga, the god of death. His quest is to bring peace to three great spirits that had cheated death and his Babe would return to him. 


    KALUNGA

    THE GOD OF DEATH

    Choosing to manifest himself as an elderly man, Kalunga toes the line between warmth and bluntness; perhaps he sees promise in the Shaman, Zau. Perhaps he does not. 


    MAMA

    THE COMPASSIONATE MOTHER OF ZUBERI

    Mama provides a direct approach to helping her son deal with grief. Bestowing Zuberi the story of Zau, she hopes he can find an acceptance in himself... while having to come to terms with her own feelings of loss. 


    LIYANA

    THE LITTLE IKAKARAMBAN

    jovial and sprightly, Liyana is a mind beyond her years. Determined to see her friend again, she is ever-warm to Zau's bravery and resolve. 


    SABULANA

    THE ONCE CLOSE FRIEND OF ZAU

    Sabulana is the Shaman of Kivuli, and a custodian of the Woodlands. Learned on the ways of herbalism and healing, she is exceptionally wiser than her years. 


    BOMANI

    THE AGED WARRIOR OF ITSHOKA

    In his prime, Bomani roamed the desert, hunting down the swarms of Adze that lurked in the endless caverns beneath the sand. Now, as an older man, the worry for his son dominates him.

    Places

    Check out the places of Kenzera


    PATALATIFU

    Built in honour of the Great Spirits, many would visit the ancient pool to honour the past, reflect on the present and look forward to a hopeful future.

    The sanctuary of memories and great tales, Patakatifu forms the old crossroads that connects the lands of Kenzera.

    THE SPIRIT OF THE SKY

    A great spirit riddled with histility and anxiety, Impundulu is lost in the throes of her own fate. 


    KIKIYAON

    THE SPIRIT OF NATURE

    A once benevolent force of nature, Kikiyaon hides in the shadows of the Woodland's past, twisted by a raw fear. 


    GAGORIB

    THE SPIRIT OF MANKIND

    Both empowered and consumed by an ancient rage, GaGorib is fueled by a wrathful fire that cannot be easily dulled.
