Cannibals!

While our kingdom owes its entire existence to the Indian-Ocean trade network and holds very little real control over the African inland we must always be on our guard for the people of the interior. One such group, the cannibalistic Zimba, have been spreading fear along the coast far to our south. With little warning the Zimba suddenly descended on the city of Kilwa itself today. Many Kilwan citizens are now dead and even more have fled the city. It will take years for Kilwa to recover, we can scarcely remember a greater tragedy in the history of our kingdom.
