Shakanda is a tribal region with hundreds of individual tribes with greater or lesser power throughout the region. Most tribes exist outside of the city walls as nomadic people and have little say in the politics of the continent. However, at least four dozen powerful and wealthy tribes live within the city walls and are forever competing for resources and influences. As of this date, the ruling tribe has been in power for the last 100 years, and war has been a continual occurrence as Shakanda seeks to control every resource available in the sparse landscape. Other more peaceful tribes have tried and failed to dispose the current ruling tribe.

The Bantu people have a creator god whom they call Nkulunkulu who was born from the reeds. He is said to have broken off medicine men and dreams, the first man and woman, the cow and bull, and then the other animals. Nkulunkulu is in everything; he is in the corn, the tree, the water. Yet Nkulunkulu does not interact with humans and has little interest in everyday life.
The Bantu people interact with the spirits of their ancestors. The spirit world is a complex place and it interacts with the natural world on a regular basis.
