> ***My divine aṣhẹ allowed me to dance with the universe, amongst the stars because it’s where the Leza dwelled, the universe embedded the way into my vision*** - the Eighth Ancestor (to the Third)
>
>

The **Ōjuẹgan** (pronounced Oh-Ju-EH-ghan; *literal* *translation*: Wild Eye or Wild Face) is an Oju Iyipada that made its first appearance in *The Blue Madjai - Vol. 1* by way of Iya the Agutan. One ability of the Ōjuẹgan is that it allows its host to attain the eyes and vision of an animal by spinning counter clockwise until it takes the pattern of the said creature.

## History

The Ōjuẹgan originated with the Eighth Ancestor who originally possessed it in its base form. The Eighth Ancestor was shown through a vision to the Seven Ancestors, provided by the Leza - traveling to the Eighth Temple. There he calls upon the Ìyààmi, practitioners of the aṣhẹ and servants to the Leza. Once they appear, the Eighth Ancestor pleads using magic speech for the power to end the war. Consequent to the completion of his verbal spell he turns his head upward into the sky inviting into his eyes and body the Ìyààmi and Leza who appeared in front of him, absorbing their power and "creating" Divine aṣhẹ.

Eventually Iya came into possession of the eyes through unknown means.

## Abilities

* Ōjuẹgan eyes can suppress life-force, it can also merge aṣhẹ with the flesh, therein possess body parts.
* The Ōjuẹgan eye can synchronize with an ifa, once activated the "tails" grow out of the pupil, it spins until the "tails" form a white iris, from there the iris fades and the pupil and eye mirrors the ifa it is connecting to.

## Etymology

* The word *Ōjuẹgan* derives from the Yòrúba language, "Oju" meaning "Eye" and "ẹgan" (eh-gahn) meaning “Wild”. The "wild" refers to the fact that its host has the eyes of a "wild animal".

## Trivia

* The pattern show inside the *Ojuẹgan* originates from the African Adinkra symbol *Nkontim* which means "readiness to serve" or "loyalty". The symbol dating back to the Akan people of West Africa.
* The pattern design for “Nkotim” (later adapted by Asiatic cultures) was the original symbol for the Big Dipper, it represented the 7 stars of Ursa Major rotating around the North Star for a year.

* Cronus (mentioned)

### Kemet

Masabai

The **Masabai** (pronounced MA-suh-Bye) was a species of humanoids that belonged to the Great Eight Races and inhabited an unknown planet.

## History

During the 2nd World Age, the Masabai were the first to “discover” aṣhẹ through contact with Karfe Stars, pyramid crafts that were infused with the energy. The Karfe Stars arrived on the Masabai home world and burrowed their lower halves into the ground for years. The pilots were never laid upon by any eyes and the ships never moved. For years the Masabai spread the knowledge of how to garner aṣhẹ to their brethren, this historically became known as the “Masabai Trail”. After years of growth and learning about the Karfe stars and the power they gave, the Karfe planted, powered up around the planet and took to the sky.

The Masabai took part in the tradition to gather around the Karfe, where it would “lift” one member of the onlooking crowd with the strongest aṣhẹ imprint into its hull to undertake a mysterious training that allowed the abductee mastery of their respective power. The Masabai, became known for their weaponry, craftsmanship, and later war tendencies. Even before the tragic destruction of the Great Star, the races loyal to the truce unanimously decided that the Masabai had violated the peace treaty because of the actions of the Eighth Ancestor.

> “***Great Ones…your guidance is dire. War and hatred have infected all of our kind. We run toward extinction and the skies grow darker beginning with the home world of the Masabai.***” - The Third Ancestor (to the Leza)
>
>

## Appearance

The Third Ancestor noted that the Masabai women look eerily similar to the yemoja because the Eighth Ancestor spliced their DNA and created them. **Dāzā** who is rumored to be of Masabai lineage is described as such:

> ***"At the top of the rock formation stood their lieutenant, Dāzā, a deep green-skinned humanoid who looked spry despite his leading position. He was tall, imposing, with a face and ears that subsisted on being long. His aura demanded respect and his gaze instilled fear. A force to be reckoned with, a leader amongst his people. His eyes were dark and abysmally hopeless."***
>
>

Upon seeing the Yemoja swim next to him in the ocean, Orula also described them as looking eerily similar to Masabai women.

## Creations

The Masabai are credited with creating the Sandha.

## Legacy

* The Masabai were noted to have been the first of the Great Eight races to "discover" ashe in its purest form from the Karfe Stars.

## Abilities

"Magic speech" if not understood is capable of bending people into affairs and actions against their will.

## Side Effects

The Second Ancestor lauded the legend that one of the side effects of the magic speech is that it blackens the mouth of the speaker. This could also be one reason why the Eighth Ancestor kept his mouth and identity concealed to avoid being known as a speaker.

Kunama

* Deactivated
* Activated
* Taurari (Diluted)

> ***“Ōrula of the Kunamu, protector of the Third Temple, we give you the sight of the Kunama, the eyes to control the aṣhẹ linked to the water like the vastness of the sea so will you see”.*** - **Mother Fertility (to the Third Ancestor)**
>
>

The **Kunama**(**The Kunama Eye**; *pronunciation* Coo-NAH-ma, *translation*: **Scorpion Eye** or **Eye of the Scorpion**) is an Oju Iyipada that made its first visual canonical appearance in *The Blue Madjai - Vol. 1*, wielded by Harnuphis. The Kunama in-fact was first acquired by the Third Ancestor and named after his race, the Kunamu.

## Acquisition

Source, powers the Kunama eye. Kunama are inherited from birth and as the wielder grows older in age their eyes can glow brighter depending on their energy level. During the day or in natural light, the Kunama eyes return to the "natural" color of its host.

## Abilities

With practice, anyone who possesses the Kunama are able to see up to three miles ahead of their location. When a person with Kunama eyes is engulfed in darkness even if temporary, source energy is activated and travels to the eyes, allowing them to see in the dark. It is also dully noted, that when angry, the Kunama enflames and can physically emit source energy from it, visually appearing as a steamy mist coming from the eye to an onlooker.

When certain techniques that require a large amount of ashe are used their eyes emit large amounts of source causing their entire eye to glow. Usually the source energy becomes "diluted" and changes to a turquoise color. The engulfed turquoise color signifies that the user is using uncontrolled source.

## Etymology

* The word *Kunama* derives from the African Hausa language, meaning "Scorpion".

On *20s A Difficult Age* the "Light Theme" appears at the end of the album during the epilogue. This was changed for visual mediums. The "Light Theme" and the "Peplum Theme" are two separate musical pieces but are often combined to form the "Peplum Theme" due to their separation on the *20s A Difficult Age* album.

## Origins

The opening titles are an homage to the opening credits of *Ben-Hur* (1959) and *Jason and the Argonauts* (1963), many of the musical compositions accompanying the opening and throughout the epic sound "dusty" and are very reminiscent of old sword and sandal films as well.

ISV Striker

The ISV Striker final concept designed by Eelco Siebring, taken from The Album Booklet: 20s A Difficult Age.

## Usage

### Role(s)

* Star-fighter
* Traveling

### Affiliation

* The Mysterious Man
* V-0009817

**ISV Striker** was a ship piloted by the Mysterious Man and co-piloted by integrated artificial intelligence V-0009817. The ship originally made its debut in the scene "The Arrival in Latium" from the *20s A Difficult Age* album.

## Characteristics

The ISV Striker is a rusty, worn but effective star fighter vehicle. The cockpit is rather large and on top of the vehicle and along the spine of the vehicle are three electrical "towers" that can "catch" thunder or electrical power that may travel over the ship when coming in and out of travel. On the side of the ship are gunners for space combat and on the front of the Striker are metal rods, that conduct electricity and "lift" the pilot on the inside to the outside. The ship is also able to camouflage itself.

**Electrical Lift Platform**

Inside of the ship is an "electrical lift platform" that "lifts" or teleports the crew from the inside to the outside, the two rods on the front of the ship conduct electricity, "shooting" whomever out in the form of electricity to the surface where they materialize. The ship does not contain doors.

## Creation and concept

The ISV Striker made it's debut as early as 2017 in a batch of concept art that was released with the *20s A Difficult Age* album. Although at the time the ship was nameless, it can be seen towering behind the Mysterious Man. Illustrated by Chris Bonura, its design is strikingly different than the final design of the ship. The major differences being that the wings of the Striker possess small electrical conduits that "catch" the electricity that travels all over the ship. Also the electrical rods on the front of the ship that zap the Mysterious Man from inside the ship to the outside of the ship (as heard in the scene) in the final model are in fact different.

This was the first time in the lexicon of the series that the phrase was used in video form. In the trailer the "Trajan" font added to the old feel of the sword-and-sandal films of the 1960s. The phrase was added the series title but the font was later changed. *A Peplum Epic* was added to a movie style promotional poster to sell the album. It was placed in "Helvetica Neue Bold" font which would become the font permanently used.

## In Other Media

#### **Graphic novels**

In 2018 and 2019 when both the covers for volume one and two of The Blue Madjai graphic novel were revealed, the series title did not feature the pre-title "A Peplum Epic" in the logo, instead including the graphic novel name and subtitle underneath.

#### **Wiki**

For this wikia the "Peplum" phrase was punned and instead the slogan "**A Peplum Wiki**" was used to market the wikia instead of the word "epic".

#### Other Uses

During the release of *A Peplum Origin: Energy Manual by Gods, for Taurari*, the phrase "A Peplum Origin" was used to substitute for "A Peplum Epic" to signify that the book was a prequel.

## Etymology

A **peplos** (Greek: ὁ πέπλος) or **pepla** (in Latin) is a body-length garment that was established as typical attire for women in ancient Greece by 500 B.C. (the Classical period). The word "pepla" became "peplum" was later adapted and used by French film critics to neutralize the phrase "sword-and-sandal", negatively given by American critics.

A peplum also typically refers to the type of clothing the characters wore in the films. Peplum epics are usually Italian made historical or mythological epics set in mostly Greco-Roman - or a similar fictional / non-fictional periods. Modern films set in this historical backdrop are labeled as **neo-peplum** films.
