In response to an attack on a British expedition, against Oba Ovonramwen’s wishes, The British attack the empire, and the entire empire is under British control. Iyase, the King’s General, seeks the Aruosa stone, to fight against the British. The stone was a gift from Osanubua which has been protected by a chosen group of priests. Iyase Believes that with the stone, he would free the empire from the attack of the British and then rule the empire instead of Oba Ovonramwen. The group of priests know that this is a bad idea. They hide the power of the stone using a forbidden form of magic, in a young baby called Osamede. Benin is taken over by the British and Iyase is Imprisoned. 21 years later, The British control over the empire is in full swing. They have taken over the mines and have put the citizens to work.
