 | The topic of this article may not meet Wikitia's general notability guideline. |
Moremi is a Comic Republic fictional character, born to Ajagunna, the Lord of Ile-Ife, ancestral home of the Yoruba people of Nigeria. He had for years been unable to conceive an heir, until he came across a woman known as “Moranmi”, who it turns out was the half-human daughter of the Forest god, Oko, friend of the mighty Sango. Together, they had a daughter. When a magical Lioness paid homage to Moremi’s birth in person, the nation took it as a sign that the next ruler must be the princess. This caused unrest among traditionalists who believed in a male heir, and a rebellion caused Moremi to flee her home. In exile, Moremi trains with the Amazons of Dahomey, and is granted powerful gifts by the goddess Yemoja himself, including weapons forged by Ogun himself, god of iron and war.
