Dixon's vision was to build a world that stood apart from the conventional fantasy settings, one that celebrated cultures inspired by Africa and the African diaspora. With meticulous attention to detail, he wove together an intricate tapestry of nations, each with its own customs, histories, and magical practices.

"Tikor is meant to be an intersection of Africa and magic," Dixon once explained in an interview. "I wanted to create something that wasn't just a rehash of the same old fantasy tropes, but rather an authentic experience that could resonate with a global audience."

Enter the Nations: Unveiling the Diversity

Tikor is divided into several nations, each offering a distinctive and awe-inspiring glimpse into its people’s lives, traditions, and aspirations. From the majestic city of Garuda in Hawken Dynasty to the floating island of Vinyata in the nation of Jarum, every location is meticulously crafted, immersing readers in an experience unlike any other.

One of the most eclectic nations, Maruwai, is known for its vibrant markets, imposing skyscrapers, and a rich art scene that blends traditional and futuristic elements. Meanwhile, the nation of Adras is enveloped in a never-ending winter, forcing its inhabitants to seek refuge in underground cities, where ancient knowledge is preserved and guarded. Each nation stands as a testament to Dixon's ability to create enthralling worlds and nurture authentic cultural experiences.

Magic and Mythos: Mysteries Revelaled

Central to the allure of Tikor is the captivating magic system and the intricate mythos that permeates the lore. Magic takes on various forms, from the potent blood magic practiced by those who possess the gift of ancestors, to the mastery of the elements by elementalists. The depth of the mythos and the interplay of magical practices within the world's societies create a sense of wonder and intrigue.

Throughout the chronicles, readers will discover ancient gods, long-forgotten prophecies, and hidden artifacts that hold immense power. Artifacts like the Star of Ku'mara, a crystalline gem that channels cosmic energy, or the Rethwallen Masks, spirits bound to ancient masks that grant incredible abilities, play pivotal roles in shaping the narrative and tempting both heroes and villains alike.

The Call to Adventure: Characters That Transcend

No epic saga is complete without memorable characters, and The Chronicles of Tikor delivers a diverse and compelling cast. From the stoic yet honorable warriors of the Quazku Nation to the mischievous yet brilliant smugglers of the Mercantile Guild, each character is brought to life with depth and complexity.

Dixon's commitment to highlighting a diverse range of voices and perspectives is evident in his portrayal of strong and multidimensional female characters, LGBTQ+ representation, and characters who challenge traditional gender roles. These characters inspire and empower readers while adding a refreshing and progressive perspective to the traditional fantasy genre.

Tikor is a world where deities and spirits are as real as the nature that surrounds them.

Since the earliest writings of mankind, the gods have been there with them.

Swordsfall isn't just a story, it's a world. It's a dive into pre-colonial Africa for all the rich lore you've never heard of.

It's an exploration into a world where the majority of the faces are dark, yet isn't constrained to one corner. 

It's a world where women hold power equal to men and the merit of one's soul is what propels them through life. It's a world where spirits aren't to be feared, they are to be embraced. In a time where we know that representation matters, this project is an effort to add to that spirit in the way I know best. 

Enter the world of Tikor, a world of Afropunk. A world that's never been seen before.

In the beginning... Tikor is a world where deities and spirits are as real as the nature that surrounds us. Since the earliest writings of mankind, the gods have been there alongside humanity. They are a vital part of the makeup of human societies across the globe. In a way, this is to be expected. Humans were in fact created by the gods. Various great deities created cultures of their design and ethos. As time marched forward, these various cultures and groups co-existed. Sometimes contentiously, sometimes harmoniously, but always striving to co-exist. 

History, however, would change its course in a single tragic day and the horrific night that followed. Mime, the Garuda deity of Wisdom, is assassinated at the hands of an alleged Vinyatian assassin. Mortal hands had never before slain a deity. As tensions between the rival nations of Garuda and Vinyata soared under a long Tikor night, a bloody battle erupted between the two sides. A truce was called once the truth of the news surrounding the assassination was called into question, but not before irreversible damage to both sides was done. 

Despite the armistice between bitter enemies, the wounds of that day will forever linger. The world heaves as the one constant, the gods themselves, waver.

A new struggle begins…
