(This is all fiction. I did minimal research on the Kanem-Bornu Empire part so most of what I say is b.s.)

An Empire lasting from 1859 B.C.E-1380 A.D. Was a long-lasting empire that took over most of Central Africa and North Africa. Though going through several Civil-wars in its life, Pootea was mostly a prosperous empire. A notable civil war was between the brothers Fhat Dihk and Thihn Dihk which lead to the burning and shrinking of the Pootean Territory.

Fhat Dihk was hated, Thihn Dihk used this opportunity to create a coup which was very effective. When the switch of rulers happened, Thihn Dihk turned out to be a tyrant. So it started the "Age of darkness" where there would be a coup and a switch in Rulers almost every year, it caused many of the Pooteans to suffer. Leading to the change of name. Kanem would eventually fall but it would be succeeded by The Bornu Empire transforming into The Kanem-Bornu Empire. It too would fall to colonialism. What remains of Pootea are found in the archeological findings, stories, and songs told by the Pooteans of the past.
