The fantasy world of Greater Afari is full of iconic symbols from the Middle Ages. From castles and fortresses to knights and warhorses, the imagery is both familiar and evocative. But this is not simply a world that resembles Medieval Europe. It is a land that is in the midst of great change, as nations compete for power and influence. In this world, mixed-heritage people like me are challenged to find our place in the world. We must overcome our doubts and insecurities to make peace with our varied heritage. Only then can we carve out a place for ourselves in this fascinating and complex world.
