In the great Kingdom of Mutiland, power didn’t rest with the people, the law, or even logic—it belonged entirely to muti. From the grand halls of Mpala, eerily built on an ancient manda (cemetery), to the dusty village squares, muti dictated everything. Elections? Muti. Justice? Muti. The economy? Without a doubt, muti.
Trouble began when two clever muti men were caught trying to bewitch the king. But the judges—who owed their authority to muti—faced a problem. Punishing the culprits would expose their own magic-fueled rule. To contain the scandal, the ruling ndunas appointed the strongest muti wielder to lead mpala. Her sorcery was so powerful that no logic, debate, or persuasion could shake her—except, of course, for more muti.
Then, the kingdom was rocked by a stunning revelation. The captured muti men, hoping to avoid a televised trial, confessed: the ex-king had lost his throne not by fate but by weaker muti. Even worse, the former queen was accused of muti-laundered money, while the royal children were caught up in illegally acquired muti estates. The result? A flood of muti corruption.
Meanwhile, in Mpala, a defiant nduna named Calf Wire, backed by local muti, sent the elite into chaos. He repeatedly challenged the powers of muti and dared to bring a Come Chapel (a muti-detecting device) into mpala. The terrified Ndunas fled, each hiding their skeleton calf in the cupboard.
Muti extended its reach beyond politics. In sports, Car Monger, who replaced Car Loser, used muti to block all competition. At the health ministry, 67 containers of muti sat unnoticed until they expired—because muti had blinded the officials. Only the untouchable Silvery Muti dared to see.
Then came the final blow: the national currency had to be changed. Why? Because the old money had simply run out of muti and was depreciating. And when his muti finally lost its power, even the long-ruling Zombies Always Active (ZAA) president had no choice but to step down.
