After the chaos of the Rudd Concession - there are a few years of constructive interaction as King Lobengula ensures the safety of the Pioneer Column and British Representative, John Moffat, runs a tough regime ensuring everyone trying to enter Matabeleland abides by the Kings Rules. But the impi are finding their way of life has changed too much and are becoming increasingly restless.
