During the Hyborian Age, circa 10,000 BC, Ayesha, a mighty sorceress priestess in the Kingdom of Balobedu, was known as the Rain Queen of Balobedu.^[1]

When searching for a new Sorcerer Supreme to replace himself, Agamotto the All Seeing asked the great wizard Aged Genghis for assistance. Genghis recommended holding a battle between all of Earth's mightiest mages to determine the next Sorcerer Supreme. In the end, the Rain Queen, Ayesha of Balobedu emerged as the champion. She served as Sorcerer Supreme for nearly 4000 years, from approximately 10,000 BCE until approximately 6000 BCE.^[2][1]

• Mystic Arts: Ayesha practiced magic at the level of a Sorcerer Supreme.^[2][1]
  • Longevity: Ayesha apparently used magic to greatly extend her lifespan.^[2]

• The Rain Queens from Balobedu people (South Africa) are called Mujaji or Modjadji,^[3]who possibly inspired the creation of the goddess Mujaji, one of the Gods of Wakanda.
• The location of Balobedu in the Hyborian Age is unclear, the equivalent of Africa in the Hyborian Age are the so-called Black Kingdoms.
• The name Ayesha comes from the character of the same name created by author H. Rider Haggard in the novel She: A History of Adventure (1887).
