The Tongue of Those Who Journey Beyond: Sunuz

ADD TO WISHLIST >

The Tongue of Those Who Journey Beyond: Sunúz is not merely an article about one of the arcane languages of the Five Empires, rather “[i]t is intended as a ‘consciousness-raiser’: a means of introducing scholars to the study of the Pariah Deities.” This dissertation on the language of Sunúz provides a glimpse of the deeper recesses of The World of Tékumel and the Planes Beyond. It will deepen your understanding of other books for the World of Tékumel, including The Book of Ebon Bindings and the Compendium of the Gods, Mitlanyal. 64 pages. Welcome to a world as complex and fascinating as our own, but unlike anything you have ever experienced. Welcome to Tékumel. The creation of Professor M.A.R. Barker, it is an incredibly detailed science fantasy world, and the basis for the first complete world setting published by TSR, Inc., Empire of the Petal Throne.

The most venerable collection of Tékumel information and publications long resided at the Blue Room, an ftp site that also hosted the excellent Blue Room Mailing List (Professor Barker was a regular contributor to the list). While the Blue Room and its list are currently no more, the articles on the site are available once again, as well as new material for The World of Tékumel.


The Tekumel Foundation recognizes that some of the legacy content available on this website does not reflect the values of the World of Tekumel. While Prof. M.A.R. Barker created the World of Tekumel, he also held anti-Semitic and racist beliefs which he expressed under pseudonyms. Some Tekumel content may reflect these beliefs, which were wrong then and are wrong today. New material and facsimile reproductions of original materials are made available with this notice, because to do otherwise would erase the record of Prof. Barker’s actions and beliefs.

The World of Tekumel is an alien and fantastic world with its own diversity, far removed from the prejudices of the real world. However, we reject the racist and anti-Semitic beliefs of its creator. The Tekumel Foundation is committed to making products for the World of Tekumel as welcoming and inclusive as possible. A portion of all sales of Tekumel products goes to the Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota and the Dakotas, and to Holocaust education charities.

If I were to buy only three of the netbooks, this would be one of my three, after the Engsvanyali history and the History of the Glorious Legions. A fascinating, if cryptic read for those interested in the forbidden language of Sunuz and the related hi [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
