Vision 4: Society of Spears II – The Zulus

In this issue we leave Europe and travel South to the Zulu Kingdom of Africa.  The Zulu Kingdom was built on conquest, tradition and ambition, combined to create a semi-militarized tribal state.  The Zulu Kingdom was organized to support the military and in return the military system supported the stability of the state.  The purpose of the Zulu Kingdom was to maintain itself and control the conquered tribes that comprised the Kingdom.
