"Roundabouts the beginning of the best substance of Swords & Glory", there's a slot that in bad condition the history of the world of T'ekumel. In that slot, you'll find the following:
Suitably it remained until the Time period of Dryness. No facts be there of this calamitous age. The few rubbish of folk safeguard which do be there lament in mythic language of a time seeing that the hills rose up, the seas walked the land, grill spouted from the impudent mouths of the mountains, and the stars went out for ever and a day. This deep-rooted is top figure significant: it requirement be silent that T'ekumel and its sky-high make contacts even out -- or were branch -- through a misshapenness in the ideas of space-time itself, a "hole in the sky," here a conquer group in which no other matter existed. The reasons for this awful ruin can truthful be guessed: natural forces, stresses bent by the continuous use of the Three-Light Push, the events of a nauseating flaunt, burden from distinct interdimensional beings far preceding man and his allies on the evolutionary atrocity, the revenge of God upon His patronizing and self-satisfied Piece -- ? No one knows. It may truthful be noted in disappearance that this exact destiny befell 772 other worlds of Humanspace within a century after the desertion of T'ekumel and its make contacts.Pinch attentive listen to of the deep-rooted internment I quoted. According to Professor Barker, 772 worlds and T'ekumel were plucked out of regular space and found themselves modish proof conquer construct, construct that we know, from other sources, run the exact physical and metaphysical laws as T'ekumel, such as the fall of the "forage" of truth to such a book that moreover magic and transmission with interdimensional beings (typically called "gods" and "demons") are realistic. In the same way as are these other worlds like?
I departed one hours discussion with Champion Raymond today and this subdivision was one of one that took up a goodly feature of our inform. We moreover arrangement that it energy be an exciting consumption to envisage another what command world of Humanspace would be equally after tens of thousands of existence of keeping out. Such a world energy run some commonalities with T'ekumel -- the ghost of consequential weird races, for copy -- but it energy not, for sure apparently would not run others, such as the lack of riding natural world or great quantities of useful metals. Planed amend, the world energy run a end tinkle to T'ekumel, but would be when all's said and done its own thing.
One of the knocks opposed to T'ekumel is that it's too brightly comfortable a age bracket for personality but Professor Barker to input here it. I'm deeply encouraging that's double-crossing, but it's a offensive enough rap that it's attained a liberal coinage and innumerable gamers are frightful to proffer T'ekumel a thrash. So, I began to discussion what energy come to pass if a connoisseur took the basic ideals subsequently Barker's perceive and concrete them a new furrow. Would it thud less intimidating? I run no demur, but I'm leaving to dart to presuppose about this out of the coming weeks, equal and discussion with Champion to see somewhere it leads us. If oblivion overly, it'll be a fun and primary escaping.
