Re: Vanarus, Machaka Lion Kings etc
Squirrelloid:
Go right ahead list things that are missing from it, if it seems thin to you. Machaka has had a lot less focus on it than many other nations and it is more of an amalgamation of various African mythologies than a specific national mythology.
However, the focus on Death and Earth magic, the witch doctors, sorcerers etc all fit rather well. Many of the things appearing in Machaka are universal to African mythologies or large swathes of African mythologies even if it doesn't fit all of them.
If you think it sucks, start naming specifics, because I'm really tired of these vague references on how "it's not authentic, it's too generic, it's missing things" line. If you know what's missing, name it. I'm not averse to learning new things, but I'm certainly not going to go off on some Google hunt based on vague generalities. I'll rather reference my mythology books at home if it comes to that.
