Six AI agents reason, conflict, and deliberate about whether to go to war over a broken sacred covenant. The player directs the story. The agents disagree in character and the GM resolves conflicts with a visible reasoning trace. The setting draws from Yoruba, Akan, Kikuyu, Zulu, and Mandinka traditions. The story follows Adaeze, a diplomatic emissary from Ile-Olu, sent to investigate why the Aso-Ijo — the covenant cloth holding the spirit realm and the mortal world apart — has been torn. --- ## The Six Agents | Agent | Name | Culture | War Stance | Tools | |---|---|---|---|---| | Game Master | Oya | Pan-African | Orchestrator | Code Interpreter | | Warrior | Akin Adesanya | Yoruba/Nigeria | Prepare for war | None | | Diviner | Kofi Mensah-Asante | Akan/Ghana | Against war | None | | Seer | Zawadi wa Muthoni | Kikuyu/Kenya | Pattern decides | None | | Healer | Thandiwe Dlamini | Zulu/South Africa | No premature war | Code Interpreter | | Rival | Seku Kouyaté | Mandinka/Mali | Concealed | None | Each agent carries hidden knowledge, emotional memory, and a distinct cultural voice.
