Xi Dundu

The Xi Dundu are one of the legacies of Laibon. Taking their name from the Bavili word for "shadow", the Xi Dundu originally hailed from the Congo until a rite gone wrong forced them from their homelands. They now make their home among the Masai peoples of eastern Africa. Because of their ordeals, no legacy is as unifed as the Xi Dundu. The Xi Dundu are agressive overall, and seek to supplant the Guruhi as the Laibon rulers of Africa. Ambitious, sneaky, and able to adapt to non-traditional situations, the Xi Dundu may very well pull it off. Those prized for Embrace include the ruthless, shrewd, and manipulative from any background.

Clan Lasombra resembles the Xi Dundu, and the weakness of the Xi Dundu is similar to the Lasombra weakness of casting no reflection; the Xi Dundu cast no shadow of any sort. Also, like the Tzimisce, the Xi Dundu must be touched by their native soil while they rest, or they are greatly weakened; this is perhaps a further reflection of their original banishing.
