Nyambe: Heart of Evil

Nyambe Cultures

HUMAN CULTURES

• Azzazza: player characters from the Azzazza would have traveled up the Kalimara River from Taumau-Boha.
• Hutali: since the Hutali of the Gino Taaba mountains have had occasional run ins with the Yuan-ti, it is conceivable that a character might have traveled into the b'Ida Rainforest to aid the inhabitants against them.  Hutali would likely find the b'Ida an unfamiliar and inhospitable environment, however.
• Marak'Ka: as a desert people, it is unlikely that one of the Marak.ka would venture into the b'Ida rainforest.  Players wishing to play a Marak.ka would have to come up with a very good reason.
• Mbanta: with no homeland, the Mbanta travel throughout Nyambe, and it would be perfectly reasonable to find them within the b'Ida.
• NaBula: the Caliphate of Boroko is far from the b'Ida, and it is unlikely that a NaBula would venture there.  PCs wishing to play a NaBula will have to come up with a good reason.
• Nghoi: the b'Ida is the home of the Nghoi, and most humans encountered will be Nghoi.
• Shombe: it is unlikely that a Shombe would be found in the b'Ida.
• Tembu: the Empire of Mabwe claims part of the b'Ida, and it would not be unlikely for Tembu to be found here.
• Tisambe: Nibomay, where most Tisambe live, is not on friendly terms with Mabwe.  Additionally, Tisambe are unlikely to travel far from their home for cultural reasons. However, some Tisambe, particularly aspiring Amazons, might travel to the b'Ida in search of adventure.
• Tuslan: though most Tuslan live in Nibomay like the Tisambe, they are far more likely to go adventuring.  Most Tuslan found in the b'Ida would be there in order to impress opposite gender individuals back home.
• Xon'Mo: another desert people, it is unlikely that the Xon.mo would travel into the damp, dark forest of the b'Ida.
• Zamara: since the Yuan-ti are powerful sorcerers, Zamara might travel to the b'Ida to combat them... or to learn their secrets.

NONHUMAN CULTURES

• Agogwe: the b'Ida is the home of the Agogwe race, and numerous Agogwe are found here
• Kitunusi: Mademba is near the b'Ida, and small communities of Kitunusi also live in Mabwe.  Kitunusi also adventure for obscure (and often inscrutable) reasons, and so might turn up almost anywhere.
• Ngoloko: Ngoloko are scattered throughout Nyambe, including the b'Ida, so it would not be suprising to find a Ngoloko adventurer here.
• Unthlatu: there is really only one reason that an Unthlatu would be found within the b'Ida-that individual would be investigating the Yuan-Ti for his or her race, trying to learn if there was any relationship between them.
• Utuchekulu: a mountain race, they are unlikely to be found in the b'Ida.  Any who are would be even more crabby and antisocial than is normal for their race.
• Wakyambi: the homeland of the Wakyambi is found in the b'Ida, and Wakyambi are common here.
