All currently available products from Keléstia Productions can be purchased from the Products section of this website. There you can browse through our entire catalog of products, learn all important product details, and look at product images.

Product types

Kelestia.com offers two different kinds of products: electronic (file-download) products, and tangible (printed) products. Each product description states the type of the respective product. Delivery of these product types is handled differently -- obviously (see below). Most electronic products come as PDF documents and are also optimised for printing.

Payment

For payments, we use the fast and secure services of PayPal.

Delivery: Electronic Products

All purchased electronic products become available for download right after the transaction is completed (usually a matter of seconds after checking out from PayPal, though on occassion this can be delayed). You will then receive a automatically generated e-mail containing a unique download link. You can also download your purchased product(s) at any time from the Account section (Files tab) of Kelestia.com.

Delivery: Printed Products

All orders of purchased tangible (printed) products will usually be shipped by us within 3 days. In case of a preorder, shipping will start once we receive the products from the printer/manufacturer. You will receive a shipping confirmation via e-mail after your order has been sent out.

How long it takes for the shipment to arrive at your door largely depends on the ordered product(s) and on the destination country. Our printed books are sent from shipping hubs in the USA (Kentucky), Germany, and New Zealand, while the printed maps of Hârn are shipped from Canada (British Columbia). The distance between these points of origin and your address is the main factor responsible for the shipping time, depending on which it can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks before you receive your order. The shipping confirmation e-mail contains an estimate on the shipping time, though conditions beyond our control (e.g. wheather events or strikes) can influence the actual time.

For all orders containing one or more printed products, a shipping rate has to be paid in addition to the product price. The shipping rate is calculated based on your location and included in the total price.

Hârn can mean two things: Hârn, the role-playing game and product line, or Hârn, the island.

Hârn, the role-playing game

Hârn is the name of a tabletop role-playing game and associated product line originally created by N. Robin Crossby and released by Keléstia Productions Ltd. It is named after the island of Hârn (see the following section), which was the first region of the fantasy world of Kèthîra that was described in detail. Kèthîra is also referred to as HârnWorld, while the rules system used to play on Kèthîra is called HârnMaster.

HârnWorld and HârnMaster are also the names of the two sub-lines of Hârn: world products are part of the HârnWorld series, while rules products fall in the HârnMaster category. Together, they form the Hârn product family.

Hârn, the island

Hârn, also called "the Misty Isle", is the largest of the Hârnic Isles, a group of islands off the northwest coast of the continent of Lýthia (on the world of Kèthîra). The region of northwestern Lýthia (including Hârn) is also known as Venârivè. Geographically and culturally, the island of Hârn is very loosely inspired by (medieval) Great Britain. It is, however, about three times as big.

N. Robin Crossby (often called "Robin" or "NRC" by Hârn fans) was the creator of the fantasy world of Kèthîra (HârnWorld), the eponymous island of Hârn located on that world, and of the HârnMaster role-playing rules system. He developed the world and rules over several decades, and established Kelestia Productions in 2003.

Robin was born in London, UK, of Anglo-Welsh parents, but lived much of his life in Maple Ridge, British Columbia, Canada. Robin passed away in 2008, but his legacy is being continued by his family and friends through Kelestia Productions Ltd.

Robin started writing, mapping and illustrating role-playing material in the mid-seventies, which later became known as HârnWorld and HârnMaster. Even earlier, he began creating his own fantasy worlds and using them in games (prototype forms of both tabletop role-playing and LARP) in the 1960s while still living in England.

He continued to develop (and re-develop) his vision of Hârn and the world of Kèthîra for many years. Robin left a great deal of uncompleted work and many ideas, and the team at Kelestia Productions Ltd are committed to working, as much as they can, to fulfill Robin's dream of the perfect fantasy world.

Keléstia Productions Ltd (KP) is a Canadian publisher of role-playing game material, books, and ebooks, started in 2003 by N. Robin Crossby, the original creator of Hârn, HârnWorld, and HârnMaster. Its mission statement was (and is to this day) to be the home of all official Hârn products.

After Robin's passing in 2008, his family and estate decided to continue KP and the development of new Hârn products, all based on the amazing canon of world and rules material established by Robin. KP's authors include Robin's trusted friends, previous co-authors, long-time Hârn contributors, and experienced RPG creators who joined the team over the years.

KP is largely a volunteer-run organisation, with many contributors making up the team known as HârnMakers. Some of the key personnel involved are:

While KP's headquarters are in British Columbia, Canada, the development team consists of several international members.

Kelestia.com is KP's official website and main place of business. All official Hârn products can be purchased from Kelestia.com's Products section.

What does Keléstia mean?

On the world of Kèthîra, Keléstia is the scholars' name for the multiverse, the cosmic all containing everything.

For all newcomers to Hârn, HârnWorld, and HârnMaster, we have created a special page, outlining the basics and listing the key features of the HârnMaster rules and the HârnWorld setting: An Introduction to Hârn.

The fundamental products in the Hârn line are: HârnMaster: Roleplaying the World of Kèthîra (rules), Kèthîra: World of Hârn (world sourcebook), and Venârivè: Northwestern Lýthia (regional sourcebook).

Quite a number of Keléstia Productions products (such as the Hârn Regional Map and the Chélemby City Map) include PDF maps with multiple thematic layers (like borders, trade goods, religious sites, etc.). They allow the user to select which layers they wish to display and so create a custom map based on their requirements. This functionality is ideal for creating specific campaign maps or player maps which only show certain features.

To change the layers shown, you need to open the "Layers" panel in your PDF reader. Adobe Reader and similar programs have an icon somewhere at the side of the main viewing area for quickly accessing layers (see image).

Once the Layers panel is open, you can select which layers to show by clicking on the "eye" symbol next to each layer.

During the 1980s and 1990s, N. Robin Crossby developed several modules describing Hârn, the Hârnic Isles, and various locations therein. They were published by a different company with whom Robin terminated his contract in 2003. The same year, Keléstia Productions was formed as the new publisher of official and canonic Hârn, HârnWorld, and HârnMaster products.

So far, Keléstia Productions has focused on publishing products describing other regions of Kèthîra (the world of Hârn) as well as new versions of the HârnMaster role-playing rules system. The fundamental product is Venârivè: Northwestern Lýthia, providing details on this entire part of the continent of Lýthia, including Hârn.

However, a new official module dedicated to the island of Hârn is in active development by Keléstia Productions. Its working title is Hârn: The Misty Isle and it is currently set for release in 2025.

Until then, we recommend you explore the other regions and realms of the world of Kèthîra, brought to life in many intricate modules and gazetteers to be found in both the HârnWorld and Maps categories of our Products section.

We love fan creations ("fanon") for HârnWorld and HârnMaster and think that they can make the game better for all of us. That is why we have just a few easy-to-follow rules for developing and distributing fan material. These rules, of course, only apply if you are planning to share your creation (in electronic form or in print) -- if it's just for use at your private gaming table, you don't need to follow these rules.

1. The following acknowledgement must appear somewhere in your Hârn fan creation in an easy-to-see and easy-to-read formatting:
   This is unofficial Hârn fan material. Hârn®, HârnWorld®, and HârnMaster® are registered trademarks of Arien Crossby, licensed by Keléstia Productions Ltd (www.kelestia.com). All related concepts and material are the property of Arien Crossby and Keléstia Productions Ltd (www.kelestia.com). Used with permission.
2. You may not sell or trade your Hârn fan creation. You can, however, share it freely without charging for it.
3. Your Hârn fan creation may not render official Hârn products obsolete, neither partly nor in whole.
4. You may not use illustrations, maps, or other graphics from official Hârn products or the Kelestia.com website without our specific permission. If you would like to use such graphics from our products or website, please contact us using the Contact Form and mention both the graphics you wish to use (with product titles and page numbers) and also the context of use. If we give you permission, you may then use the respective graphics for the Hârn fan creation in question.
5. Your Hârn fan creation may not contain pornographic content or visual depictions of graphic violence. Also, it may not defame any real-world individuals or groups.

If you have any questions regarding the creation of Hârn fan material, let us know via our Contact Form.
