Hello,
When I originally wrote about it, I envisioned that Lucifer landed in the Congo, hence the Heart of Darkness and corruption.
I also thought it would be poetic that he corrupted a place near/at where the Garden of Eden was thought to have been.
However, I left it vague as I wanted all GMs to have as much latitude as possible and not feel restricted by what was written.
Hope that helps.
Thanks for the input. Do you guys think you'll ever explore that region? Even if you leave the Heart of Darkness exact location some what vague?

I think it would make sense for Ethiopia to have its own version of Solomon's Seal, containing this world wound. It wouldn't make sense for those people to associate it with Lucifer–certainly not at that point of prehistory, but it would be too big a deal not to have SOME impact on their prehistory. I think it would definitely give a leg up for Ethiopian Hermetiiac Mages and Diabolists (maybe even worthy of a Talent of some sort).
Of the countries in Africa I think Ethiopia would be the one place that would likely to associate it with Lucifer. At least in the form that the Ethiopian empire takes that leads into the 17th century. The ruling dynasty at that time claims a direct lineage to Solomon. So between their Jewish and Christian populations I feel that it would be viewed in those terms. The more I study their history the more I feel if this game does only one thing with Africa Ethiopia is the place to do it if you want to have an easy integration into a standard WH game. The Emperor of that time was sending ambassadors all over Europe and they had open relations with France, which makes transplanting WH characters from that reason a lot easier than other parts of Africa.
