PREFACE
This story is a work of fiction, but based on some pieces of factual history. In old Africa and much of the old world, children born with oddities, and/or deformities were considered evil and killed at birth, or treated as outcasts. A few rulers and nations were averse to this, but too few. Albinism, Sickle Cell, deformities; all were treated as curses placed on children to task their parent unjustly. These were true problems of our past and this story is based off these. It shows how fantasies can be made reality by the simple acts of you and me (Humans) and how we can also make devils of ourselves.
In this story, Kalari is a kingdom located in what is now Northern Niger. The kingdom itself is complete fiction as is the tribe who inhabit it; "The Rebe People", but Nri is not at all a work of fiction, nor is the story of their unique system of hegemony, or of their accepting these people others considered outcasts. This story takes place sometime in the late 1400s
