The Kumbala

== The House of Kumbula ==
The house of Kumbula made its pact with the ancient copper dragon named Tafadzwa. The House of Kumbula is known for its love of celebration and performance art, holding many festivals in their kingdom and often patronizing the arts. Their capital city is known for it’s impressive stone architecture. The Kumbula family holds a not-insignificant amount of metal mines, particularly copper and tin, but the real source of their influence is their vast cultural capital. The Kumbula have a number of strategic alliances within the Yekamba, from the cities to the central tribes. They are also a center of literature and art, motifs and patterns that appear in their kingdom diffuse to the rest of the shell very quickly. The house of kumbula is famously non-traditionalists, as they can be seen wearing fashions and adopting styles from almost anyone they come in contact with. The Kumbula family and their people are known for their openness, and they are one of the few powers in the Kamba Joka who have set explicit legal protections for both Tabaxi and Mhepe Vana in their land and cities. The house of Kumbula has also built a thriving tourism industry, with plenty of attractions, inns, and resorts built to accommodate travelers. 
The house of Kumbula chooses their heir a bit unorthodoxly. The kumbula family almost always bears twins, and the likelihood of doing so is higher the closer to the main lineage you get. The heir is chosen from the twin offspring of the current Head of House by the current head of Tafadzwa’s bloodline. 
Tafadzwa’s descendants are a common sight in the capital city, and usually public figures wherever one resides. They are especially social during festivals, and if you look interesting enough, one my snatch you up for a conversation.
