Introduction: The World of the Ayanfe.

THE WORLD OF 2026

Lagos has always been a city of chaos, but nothing prepared it for the Awakening. In a single afternoon, the skyline of Broad Street was rewritten.

The world calls them Alagbara—The Powerful ones. But to those who remember the old world, they are the Ayanfe, the Chosen guardians of a kingdom lost to time.

MEET THE GUARDIANS

INA (The Eternal Flame): Hot-tempered, fiercely loyal, and carrying a fire that could melt the Third Mainland Bridge.

OMI (The Deep Water): Calm as a lake, but capable of the crushing force of a tsunami. She remembers more than she lets on.

IRIN (The Unyielding Iron): The strategist. A man of metal who believes in duty above all else—even if it means fighting his own kin.

ILE (The Shifting Earth): The rogue. He believes the new world is weak and needs to be rebuilt in the image of the old. He doesn't just move mountains; he becomes them.

THE LINGUIST

And then there is Tade. A student. A survivor. The only human capable of hearing the Source Stone speak. He isn't a god, but in a war between titans, he might be the only one who can keep them human.
