The TotKW Saga
You can read more about my saga and its intended audience in the blog post What is TotKW? here.
The novels explore themes of humanity, such as destiny and free will, the rise and fall of civilizations, good and evil, and the individual's journey to find purpose in the world. The series also probes many social constructs like inequality, tradition, propaganda, religion, fame, corruption, loyalty, and prejudice.
I intend Tales of the Known World to encompass all the stories that take place in this fantasy realm, whether they are directly connected or not. "The Known World" refers to the portion of the fantasy realm known to the peoples whom each story is about, as opposed to a single static map.
In addition to the different "Known Worlds" of various regions, the assorted peoples of the series have different cultures, practices, and magic abilities, as well as different religious and philosophical explanations for magic and life in general. You can check the Resources page for a complete list of available notes and bonus content.
