Shilluk Kingdom
The Shilluk Kingdom lay along the left bank of the White Nile in what is now South Sudan, with its royal capital at Fashoda. Tradition says it was founded by Nyikang in the second half of the 15th century. It reached its height in the late 18th century before Egyptian rule extended south.
