Tekumel Foundation

Sharetlyal - The Canon of the Establishment of Blessed Memory is now available at DriveThruRPG.com. From the product description:

Sharetlyal or The Canon of the Establishment of Blessed Memory unlocks the nature of the demons and the structure of demonology from the point of view of the worshippers of the Gods of Stability. Working alongside Demons, rather than in dominion over them, it is important to remember that they have a will of their own. This can lead to grievous misunderstandings and possibly bodily harm.

Sharetlyal is entirely new material for the world of Tekumel, and also includes a section on Thu'usa, the language of the Demons of Stability. Co-authored by Prof. Barker and Dr. Giovanna Fregni, the source material for Sharetlyal was taken from interviews done with Prof. Barker before his death. Illustrated by Dr. Fregni, the book is premium color throughout, with six full page illustrations and many smaller ones.
