Unkulunkulu

The "Oldest of the Old," the first man and the creator of the world who broke away from the reeds of the primordial river to name the animals and the trees. He is the progenitor of the Zulu nation, the one who taught humanity how to hunt, how to make fire, and how to honor the spirits of the land. While he has since grown distant from the affairs of men, his name remains the cornerstone of existence, the first heartbeat of the human story. He is the ancient architect of the culture, the root from which the entire tree of the people has grown.
