Guruhi

The Guruhi are one of the Legacies of Laibon. Taking their name from the Gambian god they believe to be descended from, the Guruhi belive themselves to be the masters of Africa and the rightful ruler of its lands and people. They share their lands with the other Laibon reluctantly, though they do have something of an alliance with the Osebo and the Shango. Those they Embrace may come from any African ethnic background, but tend to be those in positions of authority or are those who can trace their ancestry back to one of the great dynasties. The Guruhi are mostly unified, though there is a slight divide based on an old legend of two "lines" of Guhuri; the second line was supposed to take over Africa from the first one when the original line was deemed "unfit". The issue of the lines is mostly a sidenote, though there are still a few Guruhi fanatics that take the issue seriously.

The Guruhi seem to share something of a weakness with Clan Nosferatu, though theirs is much more complicated. The appearance of a Guruhi changes based on their moods, reflected by their Orun and Aye; a Guruhi in a good mood with high Orun appears normal or even with an unearthly beauty. However, one with a low Aye is revealed as a monsterous creature, much like the Nosferatu.
