====The Misimbwa Cult====

The Misimbwa Cult adds and extends the Msafu ya Misimbwa from the basic text. They name hundreds of spirits. Membership is hereditary, and it is the practice of the clerics to offer their daughters first to the Misimbwa, which succeeds fairly often. The Spirit-clerics, who call themselves "Mwasimbwaji", all have some degree of spirit-blood, which is reflected by magical knacks. In the coastal Wachomba cities, the Mwasimbwaji are fully concerned with the worship of Mbova-Dziva, the Sea Goddess and Wakeso the sailor-hero.
