The afrofantasy of the moment to savor
In a world where epic tales are often dominated by Norse, Celtic or Greco-Roman myths, AlkebWorld stands as a tribute to the legends, forgotten kingdoms and deities of African mythology .
This unique Afrofantasy universe draws its essence from the ancient soul of the original continent: Alkebulan , the ancestral name of Africa.
But first, what is AfroFantasy?
Afrofantasy (also spelled Afrofantasy, Afro - fantasy) is a literary and artistic subgenre of fantasy that draws inspiration from African and Afro-diasporic cultures, mythologies , cosmologies , oral traditions , and spiritualities. It is distinguished by the staging of imaginary worlds rooted in African cultural contexts, in contrast to the canons of Western fantasy, which are frequently dominated by medieval or European references.
African Mythology
Every African culture is filled with powerful narratives: the Orishas of the Yoruba, the tales of the Akan people, the Dogon myths about the stars, or the warrior ancestors of Dahomey. AlkebWorld weaves these mythological threads together to create a cohesive, rich, and visually striking universe.
There we encounter gods like Ogun , the celestial blacksmith, or Nyame , the god of the sky, but also legendary creatures inspired by oral traditions from across the continent. This world celebrates the diversity of African myths , too often misunderstood or erased.
Alkebulan: More Than a Name, A Memory
The word Alkebulan means " Mother of Humanity " in ancient Egyptian or Berber, according to some sources. This forgotten term symbolizes the lost grandeur of the African continent before colonization.
In AlkebWorld , Alkebulan is not just a land: it is a living, vibrant culture, nourished by the memory of its people, their pains, their glories and their hopes.
