Garuda is the land where the gods walked among humans. The Divinity — children of Garuyda the Great Phoenix, great-grandchildren of Ishvana herself — handpicked mortals across the continent and told them to build a nation.
Those chosen became the Ring of the Chosen, the great Houses of Garuda, led by the Zencora family. Nzinga Ludan took the first crown. Her dynasty held it for nearly two thousand years.
And the Phoenix said: build here. Build tall. Build for a thousand years. And they did.
— Welcome to Tikor, Chapter 1
Garuda holds three cultures under one emerald sky: the Karu and their Divinity, the See’er and their Pangool, the Dihoma and their Vodun. Three ways of knowing the gods. One continent with enough temples to make the point.
Peoples of Garuda
The land itself moves between grassland, savanna, and the deep green of the Great Kahali Rainforest. Temples crowd every horizon. The Eternal Flame burns in the heart of the continent. And somewhere behind the Divine Order of the Phoenix, larger plans are being made.
Notable places
- The Great Kahali Rainforest — the continent’s deepest green, where the Pangool walk freely
- The Eternal Flame — the fire at the center of the world, tended by the Celestial Shields
- Mount Olenga — the Karu’s sacred mountain
- Abomey Plateau — the Savanna’s edge, where rangers work the herds
- The Savanna Lands — endless grassland under an endless sky
- Ilun Valley — the hidden seat of the Ring of the Chosen
