A bad country, a bad people, a bad king.Èdìdàré is an epic poem which tells the story of a group of adventurers journeying to a far country, from which they expect to return with the Wisdom Fruit. Led by a warrior called Irinkerindo , they discover a city hidden deep inside the forest. Èdìdàré as this city is known,is a place of indescribable filth. The suffering dwellers have been given to inhuman habits and mindless existence under the rule of a dynasty of idiot kings and gluttonous lawmakers. Bursting with a spirit of chivalry, the travellers seek to restore civilization to the city - to stop the epidemic vices and other vile practises; but laws are soon made to permanently expel the sojourners from Èdìdàré.
