Obviously the spells and legions lists are pretty much complete.
I envisage the personalities file as the starting point for a prosopography of Tékumel (along the lines of the prosopography of the Later Roman Empire by A.H.M. Jones et al if anyone’s familiar with it)—so far I’ve got 158 Tsolyani based only on The Sourcebook, The Temple articles on the Blue Room site, Armies of Tékumel I and Deeds of the Ever Glorious and only including Tsolyáni prominent in the reigns of Hirkáne and Dhich’uné.
I am planning to add further characters from Man of Gold, Swords and Glory and the Adventures on Tékumel solitaire books when I get a chance to skim them and from Mitlanyál and Seal of the Imperium 1 when I receive copies, so can anyone with access to any other sources who wants to send me more personalities for inclusion email me the data—preferably in Excel 5.0 or 7.0 format if there’s more than a few.
