Long ago, the first man on earth, Kintu, fell in love with Nambi, daughter of the sky god Gulu.
Against her father’s warning, they left heaven together, but they were told to leave in secret, so one being would never follow: Walumbe.
On their journey, Nambi made one mistake.
She went back.
Walumbe saw her… and followed them to earth.
From that moment on, death entered the world.
He brought suffering, taking the children of Kintu and Nambi.
Gulu sent another son, Kayikuzi, to capture him.
But Walumbe escaped underground, creating deep pits across the land.
They say he never left.
He still hides beneath the earth, and when it shakes…
it’s because they are still fighting.
