Folklore of the Luo peoples of Kenya speaks of a mighty warrior known as Lwanda Magere.
The Lang'o, tired of being defeated in war by the Luo, sat down with Nandi elders to discuss the issue and came to the conclusion that they would give Lwanda Magere the woman Maryann to marry, claiming it was a gesture of peace.
That night, she crept out of Lwanda's home, ran back to her people and told them her husband's weakness.
A site in Sidho, near Awasi in the former Nyando District of Kenya, has a stone revered as the spot where Luanda Magere died.
Luanda Magere is still celebrated among the Luo through song and dance, and several animated shorts have been created based on the story.
