Mami Wata

Documented folklore from the Club 49 map, told straight and sourced.

The story

Across West Africa and the African diaspora, Mami Wata is the great water spirit: beautiful, wealthy, dangerous, half woman and half fish or serpent, who brings fortune or ruin and who takes her followers down into a world beneath the water where they may be given riches and returned. She is a living, widely-held tradition across many cultures from Nigeria to the Caribbean, not a single tale, and she is bound up with real rivers, lagoons and the Atlantic coast.

The ground it haunts

The lagoons and coast of West Africa. Source: A living West African water-spirit tradition of wealth and danger. The Club 49 map pins this legend at its documented country, beside the real mines, active claims, land status and modeled honey holes of the same ground. Open the free map and go stand in the story.
