This set of pages relate to the MAR Barker's world of Tekumel, as depicted in the online game 'Shrine of Petrified Wisdom'.

== What is Tekumel? ==

Tekumel is a planet far, far away in a very, very distant future.

After much of dear old planet Earth got nuked civilisation was re-established by people from Central America, India and the Middle East. The civilisation that followed acheived interstellar travel and, with its alien allies, colonised numerous worlds throughout the galaxy. One such was Tekumel. When it was discovered it had two intelligent native species and was barely inhabitable by humans. The Humanspace Alliance wanted this world however and conquered and terraformed it with relative ease. For many centuries Tekumel was a luxurious pleasure planet and centre of interstellar trade. Then matters changed - the stars went out. Tekumel was wrenched from mundane reality and placed in a pocket universe of its own. The Latter Times followed, an age of chaos and destruction during which the high-tech culture of Tekumel decayed and faded from memory and finally became myth. Thirty millenia later Tekumel still struggles in a medieval quagmire of superstition abd despotism, but here and there the ancient ways survive and the nature of the catastrophe and the universe that the planet have been thrust into are remembered.

Tekumel owes comparatively little to the European cultures that dominate most FRP settings, the inspiration came from Professor Barker's interest in Indian and Central American languages. The Empires of Tekumel are more like the Incan, Moghul and Chinese empires than a European kingdom, its religions are reminiscent of Aztec and Hindu beliefs and the monsters are bizarre Lovecraftian nightmares. This is a planet that will bend your head.

== The Shrine of Petrified Wisdom campaign ==

A group of priests from the Temple of Ksarul in Tumissa have been given a task; re-establish a shrine lost in the wild forests of Do Chaka centuries before. Given the propensity of the Temple of Ksarul to lies and subterfuge, the recent spate of wars and rebellions in the area and the mercilessly hostile nature of the wilderness this is not going to be a straightforward task.

Üsc

2006-05-13T22:48:27Z

Epengar:

Üsc is a house-slave of the [[Black Stone]] clan in [[Tumissa]]. The clan has loaned him to [[Vinchan hiMeshkutane]] to be Vinchan's servant while he journeys to the Shrine of Petrified Wisdom.

Age 14, half-Pijenani house slave, value 85Kt

Str 3 Dex 5 Int 5 Psy 3 Will 4 Cha 4

Small 1, Younger 1, Slave 1, Distractible 1

Occupation: Servant 1, Brawling 1, Climbing 1, Speak Tsolyani 1, Read Tsolyani 0, Swimming 1, Subculture: Slave 1

Üsc has been a slave of the Black Stone clan all of his life; his father was a slave, a Pijenani townsman who fell foul of the priests of She Who Is Not Seen and was lucky not to end up a sacrifice, and his mother is of slave lineage over four generations – a distant ancestor fell into debt. He is a bright and cheerful enough boy, knows his tasks around the house, though he needs frequent reminding to get on with them, and has picked up enough of the Tsolyani alphabet to be able to read simple written instructions. The Black Stone keep meaning to have him properly educated with their own younger boys – a decent slave scribe is worth several hundred kaitars, and one who gets as far as being a major-domo over a thousand.

Vinchan hiMeshkutane

2006-05-13T22:32:12Z

Epengar:

Vinchan hiMeshkutane is a character in the [[Tekumel | Shrine of Petrified Wisdom]] Tekumel campaign.

Vinchan belongs to the [[Black Stone]] clan. He is a priest of [[Ksarul]], in the administrative branch of the temple, with the rank of Su'umel (junior priest/2nd circle). He is from the city of [[Tumissa]], though he has spent time in the countryside as well. He likes to hunt (preferring to use a crossbow to shoot small game), and has a modest but good reputation as someone with keen eye for opportunities for his temple and clan. The Meshkutane lineage within the Black Stone clan is of medium status, at least in Tumissa.

Vinchan has recently been transferred from the [[Temple of Ksarul, Tumissa | Temple of Ksarul in Tumissa]] to the [[Shrine of Petrified Wisdom]] in the remote reaches of the Turina River valley. He is in charge of an expedition of priests sent from the temple in Tumissa to reclaim this lost shrine. His main mission is to re-open the shrine and find ways for it to produce income for the temple in Tumissa.

Vinchan has a servant to assist him on his journey, a young male slave named [[Usc]].
