Welcome to Kelestia.com!

Thanks to the diligent support of a group of readers and Hârn fans, some additional typing errors and other small mistakes could be corrected in the new HârnMaster: Kèthîra core rules. The PDF version 1.3 can now be downloaded by all owners of any HMK edition (digital or printed). It replaces the hmkcore.pdf download entry in your personal list of files (Account→Files). If you would like to also keep the previous version (1.2), we suggest renaming the file on your computer (or other data storage) in order to avoid overwriting it.

Please note: The file name (hmkcore.pdf) and cover page of the document are kept identical throughout all HMK versions. The version number can be found in two places: In the title shown in your PDF window or tab and at the bottom of page 2, below the ISBN.

Additionally, we have compiled an errata document for all owners of the printed version of HMK. We suggest printing it out and using it alongside the book. Some book owners might prefer making the corrections directly in the book, while others would like to keep the book free of writing, markings, etc. Your choice, as always. The HMK errata can be found in the Free Stuff→Errata section.

We hope you're enjoying HMK at your gaming table and that the new PDF version and errata document will prove useful. Feedback is always appreciated, either via our Contact section, our Forums, or our Discord community.

Issues #49 of Atlas Keléstia has been released.

Hot coals of vengeance! Let no soldier fly…

This issue features square SHKN-L7 (Gîlend) on the Shôrkýnè regional map, in the thinly settled northeast of the kingdom of Shôrkýnè, where it borders the region of Huriséa, with the peaks of the Tílame Mountains extending to the east.

The powerful clan Tâbin have long desired to expand their influence in the Shôrkýni northeast, and the isolated barony of Gîlend also provides a gateway to the riches of Huriséa. But their governor here confronts incursions and migrations by Quârphic folk passing between tribal ranges to the north and south.

The Émhlè folk of the Tílame highlands share similar concern, but are increasingly distracted by the possible manifestation of dangerous ‘ethereal zones’ in their mountains, including the appearance of a 'frigid' zone around the headwaters of the Bôros River

Our popular Atlas Keléstia series of maps and gazetteers returns.

The forest walks are wide and spacious…

The new issue features square SHKN-M3 (Fîgend) on the Shôrkýnè regional map, a seemingly underpopulated wilderness in northern Huriséa, roamed by Quârphic and Álti tribesmen, as well as Járenmarkers from the north and Huriséans from the south trading in furs, pelts, timber, and more. No matter how apparently quiet at present, history has shown that brutal conflict can erupt in the wilderness with little or no warning.

The next issue of Atlas Keléstia is expected at the end of February 2025.

Good news for all our US and Canadian customers: The HMK books have arrived at our NA distribution site and will be shipped to customers starting early next week (the week of January 20th). Deliveries can be expected between the last week of January and early February. Tracking numbers will be e-mailed to customers when their order ships.

We at Keléstia Productions would like to wish everyone a happy and safe 2025 and a hearty thank you for bringing such an exciting close to 2024! We are so pleased with the enthusiasm you've shown for the new edition of HârnMaster (HMK) as well as your renewed interest in all the titles of a catalogue we're quite proud of.

As hardcovers of the new rulebook begin to make their way to homes, we will first turn in 2025 to completing our HMK GM Kit and the next setting module -- the fractious and intriguing Kingdom of Palíthanè. We're also excited to start sharing previews of the long-awaited Maritime Rules -- a supplement intended to help take your adventures to all realms of Kèthîra.

We encourage you to reach out to other members of the community, to start games (however brief or epic), and to share your experiences with others and with us. We look forward to a new year of gaming.

HMK shipping update

The majority of our EU-based customers should now have their HMK books (all others will hopefully have them soon) while shipping to the UK and Norway has started as well and will continue throughout the next week.

The US books are finally in the US, having arrived on December 26. They are not yet at their shipping hub in Kentucky, with customs and further transport probably taking 1-2 more weeks. Mid to late January is still a realistic time frame for the books to arrive at their US destinations. While the Canada Post postal worker strike is over, the backlog of undelivered shipments from the previous month can still possibly delay HMK book deliveries to our Canadian customers.

The customs situation in New Zealand has finally been resolved, and shipping to NZ and Australian customers will start on January 9.
