Introduction
The fact that I have to do this myself says something.
I mean, there was one Zulu Dawn fic (one!) on another website, but that's literally a gay fic.
On the plus side, as I write this, this will be the first Zulu Dawn fanfiction on .
Things to know:
The story
This story takes place after the events of both Zulu Dawn and Zulu, respectively. It covers an alternate universe where the decisions of kings, and the influence of their ancestors, change the course of history.
The People
The Zulu: A warrior peoples best known for their first king, know better as Shaka Zulu, and the Battle of Isandlwana. They are also notably famous for using the Bull-Horn Formation, although they were not the first to do so, and the Ikwala, the Zulu short stabbing spear.
The Ndebele: Also a warrior peoples closely related to the Zulu, who fled Shaka early during his reign. They are best known for being the most successive Mfecane empire.
Accounts read that it took many years to get over the fear of them in battle.
The Shona: The Shona are a group of Bantu Africans that are located in modern-day Zimbabwe. During the reign of the Rozwi Empire, they were noted for using the Bull-Horn formation two centuries before it's inception by Shaka They are best known for erecting stone 'zimbabwes,' most notably Great Zimbabwe.
The British: Residing in the Cape Colony and Port Natal, they are under the rule of Queen Victoria. The current superpower of the world.
The Boers/Voortrekkers: Dutch related people who, despising being ruled by the British, set of further from the frontier.
The Portuguese: The first known Europeans to set foot on Southern african soil.
The Places
Zululand: Home of the Zulu, it has decreased since the reign of Shaka. Territory occupied by the Zulu Empire.
Cape of Good Hope/Cape Town: British territory, under the rule of the British Crown.
Transvaal/Orange Free State: Boer-run republics bordering the Cape.
Swaziland: Home of the Ngwane people.
Mashonaland: Home of the Shona, territory occupied by the Rozwi Empire.
Matabeleland: Home of the Ndebele, bordering Transvaal and Mashonaland. (Size: About the size of Swaziland)
England: I don't need to spell it out.
Notes
Bechuanaland: Exsists as a proctorate ot the British Empire, but Matabeleland has taken the Swaziland sized portion bordering Mashonaland and Traansval.
Mashonaland: Is basically modern Zimbabwe territory.
The Ndebele invasion of Zimbabwe: Did not happen in this universe. They settle down near the Limpopo, but not beyond it.
And thats it for now. An actual chapter will be accompanying this hopefully withing a month. Hopefully.
To my other readers, be patient. The next ASWC chapter will be out soon. Bear with me.
