Tantunou is a village located in the M'Changa province of the nation of Zambesi in West Africa. The village is the resting place of the ancient warrior known as Tantu, and is therefore the original resting place of the Tantu Totems.
History[]
Founding[]
By the end of his life, the warrior Tantu tasked his followers to protect the Totems at all costs. Around his resting place, a large village began, naming it Tantunou, meaning "the heart of Tantu". For thousands of years the village of Tantunou lived in isolation under a unified Zambesi was founded.
Four elders of Tantunou, Azakhu, Djodonu, Cheteke and Unaui.
Dictatorship of Benatu Eshu[]
Esi, a member of the Tantunou tribe had been married to Richard Jiwe, a Zambesian politician and became the mother of their two daughters, Kuasa and Mari. After Benatu Eshu's revolution and the assassination of Richard, Eshu decided to almost completely wipe out the village, with a handful of survivors including Kuasa and the infant Mari.
New Warriors[]
With the defeat of Eshu, the Fire Totem was returned to its original resting place alongside the Earth and Air Totem. Feeling it was her sole duty to protect the stones and Tanunou, Kuasa kept the Water Totem with her. Meanwhile, Mari returned to the United States with the Spirit Totems
