Art Drop | Jakir the Storyteller

The verbal history of Jalens has a patron deity as well. The lyrically divine, Jakir the Storyteller. What is a god of rhymes like?

Enmanuel Martinez has brought us another backer deity for Welcome to Tikor! Meet Jakir the Storyteller, a deity for the oral historians like Jalens. With this one, I wanted to do something slightly special as this backer was someone who took to Jalen way back when Swordsfall started.

Enmanuel did an awesome job of capturing Backer Jake Wenzel into the piece. The clothing especially I love! It’s something that fits right into Swordsfall and yet has the feeling of something you might really wear in real life. Jakir is one of those deities that comes off as extremely human. He’s heavily tapped into the pulse of Tikor and the messages that Jalens are trying to tell. Let’s see what they had to say about Jakir!

However, the reason he is a Keeper of Tradition and Stories is because once he has heard a story or learned something he cannot forget it.
