Unfilled jobs:
Tshombe's dream: The wind has a rich red hue to it, and a spider is dancing on the leaf of a banana tree--he knows it is a banana tree, though he has never seen one in real life. The spider speaks in riddles, but Tshombe knows all the answers. He gives almost before the riddles end, and the spider laughs. When the seventh riddle is answered, Tshombe knows what all of his children will be--one who rides the seas, one who fights wars, one who heals the sick, one who defends the law, one who traps animals, one who builds machines, and one who makes weapons. When Tshombe wakes up, he weeps. He is happy that none will work in the mines, but he is sad that so many of them work with death.
Ekundayo's master: Ekundayo is a young journeyman, learning the craft of designing structures. He has been sent to a special school, away from his brothers, whom he likes very much, and his homeland. He is very afraid, and he goes into the large cathedral-like building where his new master awaits with much trepidation. As he enters, he sees the tiled floor. It is shaped like a honeycomb, and dozens of the tiles have symbols on them. The middle tiles are arranged to form a bridge. The ones on the right are an island, and the ones on the left do not touch the ones in the middle. They are all disconnected. When Ekundayo looks up, he sees the old, wrinkled aurochs-man that will be his master.
Olufemi's death: Olufemi is sitting at a table in a rundown shack. It is apparently a tavern, though you might confuse it for a home if you did not know better. He is playing cards with two dwarves and a few of his fellow tribesmen. Olu, as he is called, lays down a hand of eights and aces. One of the dwarves kicks back his chair and pulls a gun, while the other tries to stop him. Olu, being quick witted, throws the table at them. In the confusion, a gun goes off. Olu does not see who shot him, but he feels the pain in his back.
Yaw's new potion: Yaw has been working for days to heal a woman who has a disease he has never seen before. He has tried the traditional cures, but none of them have taken hold, so now he is taking up experimentation. He has taken the cures for the two deadliest but common diseases he knows of (the wasting sickness and malaria) and mixed them with a few common potions. In all, he has so far had six components, and he must decide upon the seventh. He has seven choices, and this strikes him as curious. They are the feathers of a lightning bird, a draught of fresh spring water, the blood of a mngwa, the foreskin of the last witch-doctor, a powder made from a rhinocerous horn, the liver of a leopard, and a sack of dried lizards. He closes his eyes, reaches into his bag, and pulls out the liver. Two weeks later, the woman is healthier than she has ever been.
Kojo's prophecy: Seven leopards stand in a circle, with six peregrines in the middle. In the very center is a white rat with a black mark on its back. The rat is controlling them all with strings. The leopards dance through the air, and the peregrines struggle with each other. Each one, leopard and peregrine, are drawing power from a chain that holds them to an hourglass. With these chains, they strangle the white rat with the black mark.
Ayotunde's spear: The Steelclad and the Stone-shapers have been fighting over Ayotunde's lands for all his life, and his tribe has been torn apart by it. He has gathered his brothers and some few others, and asked them to stand with him against both sides. He and they know it is suicide--you cannot win a war against two enemies--but it is the only way where they can have pride. He takes his spear and wets it with his own blood, and he rallies his people to war. During the fight, he finds that his spear rends even steel and stone, though it never could before.
