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.
