Embraced from the ranks of Yoruba - god of storms, magic, and war - worshipers, though worthy warriors and sorcerers from other religions are found acceptable. Called "Judges" by other Laibon, the Shango dispense judgment over Laibon who are foolish enough to overstep their bounds of plausibility with mortals or who defy their magaji. While most Shango are usually willing to help their fellow Laibon for a price, it's common knowledge that they are not to be trifled with.

Ghiberti While not a Laibon legacy, the Ghiberti bloodline of the clan Giovanni has a strong presence in West Africa. They have the same disciplines as their parent clan but can also follow
