Kuweni

Prince Vijaya of the Lion Kingdom of Tamil India, sets sail along with 700 men towards the beautiful island of Sri Lanka. Here he meets Princess Kuweni of the Yakka tribe. With Vijaya’s help, Kuweni overthrows her father’s regime and becomes the queen of a new race. Eventually she’s thrown out of the palace along with her two children. The children later seperated from both parents, enter the jungles and eventually give rise to a tribe called the Veddah clan.
