S.A Chakraborty Fantasy world: The City of Brass & The Kingdom of Copper

From the complex magic world of Daevadad, the fantasy story centers on the use of magic and some influence from Islam in settings and demons. Particularly interesting how the relationship evolves in the love triangle of the protagonists:

1. DARAYAVAHOUSH, known by the nickname of "Dara" is a demon Afshin, a Daeva military caste family which served the Nahid Council. He was known as the Scourge of Qui-zi for his violent acts during the war and later revolt against Zaydi al Qahtani. Among his powers are mind reading, fire, and the command of the magic swords called Zulfiquar.

2. NAHRI, a poor orphan and thief from Egypt. She meets Dara and discovers to be a magic healer from the Nahid of the Daeva tribe. With her powers she can save the lives of many magic beings.

3. ALIZAYD, known by the nickname of "Ali", he has a mixed-blood background. Ali is the youngest son of the Qahtani King Ghassan and of the marid, sea demon, descent Queen Hatset. After being drowned in the lake, Ali mixed with the marid and acquired the sea demon powers.

Looking forward to read the last part of the Trilogy, the Empire of Gold. From my perspective, thanks to S.A. Chakraborty use of Islam as a source for fantasy, it is parallel to the Japanese Yokai. The present time fantasy genre and religion are mixed together. As an example of this mixture from the Japanese influence I would recommend to see the Tokyo Mosque.

Finally, because I am a descendant from Buffalo Bill Cody, who defended and was part of the Hunkapap Lakota, whose leader was Sitting Bull during the Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show, I wanted to show some of my favorite photos.

Historic photos:
