According to the myth<em> "Bida, the Black Snake"</em> the reason for the declinening of the trade of gold in Ghana was:
3. The death of Bida.
Bida, the black snake, and the kingdom of Ghana had an agreement. In return of prosperity and wealth Bida demanded every year the sacrifice of a virgin.
One year, the virgin elected to be sacrificed was Siya Yatabar, the most beautiful and pure virgin of the kingdom. But Siya was engaged to Maadi. Her lover promesed to save her and kill the snake, despite her oposition. When the moment of the sacrifice came, Maadi fulfilled his promese and killed Bida, who before dieing cursed the nation with no rain and no gold for seven bad years, seven bad months and seven bad days.
This myth explains the drought and the declination of gold minning that took place and was in part the reason for the decay of the Ghana empire.

The Kingdom of Kandy was a monarchy on the island of Sri Lanka, located in the central and eastern portion of the island. It was founded in the late 15th century and endured until the early 19th century.
Initially a client kingdom of the Kingdom of Kotte, Kandy gradually established itself as an independent force during the tumultuous 16th and 17th centuries, allying at various times with the Jaffna Kingdom, the Madurai Nayak dynasty of South India, Sitawaka Kingdom, and the Dutch colonizers to ensure its survival.
From the 1590s, it was the sole independent native polity on the island of Sri Lanka and through a combination of hit-and-run tactics and diplomacy kept European colonial forces at bay, before finally succumbing to British colonial rule in 1818.
