Welcome Back AfriWATU to the second part of the Maravi Empire! As we close off on this civilisation, there is still so much more to uncover and not enough time. It was such a pleasure to research this as everything was so fresh and as always such an eye opener. There were a lot of different levels in this Empire and a lot of interesting parts, AfriWetu can never cover everything, and sometimes only getting to scratch the surface in what is shared, so please make sure go and do your own...
