Lake Chad, 1571. An empire pressed in on every side, its old armies unable to hold. Then a new ruler took the throne — and chose not just to fight, but to rebuild everything from nothing.
This is the story of Mai Idris Alooma, one of the most consequential rulers of the Kanem-Bornu Empire. Sourced from the contemporary chronicle of Ahmad ibn Fartuwa and cross-referenced historical accounts.
