Most of Africa is now under the influence of this strange mixture of 1930's pulp adventure and Egyptian mysticism. Life here is like a movie serial (or an Indiana Jones adventure), with the action non-stop and the characters melodramatically one-dimensional.

Technologically, the realm is equivalent to the 1930's of Earth, however, Weird Science is practiced by many inventors, (including the insane High Lord) who create devices which operate outside the normal laws of science (such as flight packs, lightning guns, force field belts, etc). The pulp nature of this cosm allows some heroes and villains to possess one or more particular pulp power, and masked or costumed heroes appear fairly frequently, fighting back against government oppression, or the insidious crime lords who have taken over some of the cities.
