It is not very much, but it does give enough to deal with wandering parties of Hokun met while adventuring. A complete description of Hokun society is very hrd to imagine; it would be quite large, with varied nation-states and interactions with human neighbours. >I would like a little information the Hokun, so far i only know they are >crystaloid beeings that are said to enslave humans.

What about technology. Not very much interplanar skill -- far less than the Mihalli. They\'\'re about on a par with the Chima. They have maintained a little technology but not much, and not very consistent, Mostly they use items scavenged from the ruined cities on the far side of Tekumel. I hope some of the Thursday Night people will speak up here. >What are the better known planes of existance that Tekumelian travellers >are prone to end up in ?

This is a *very* hard question since nexus points are often "pointed" towards specific Planes or complexes of Planes. One nexus point may open into only one Plane, or it may open into a black velvet void where human senses perceive routes to many Planes as a sort of staircase hanging in black otherness. The steps look like ivory plaques, and they are attached to nothing at all -- very unnerving. These staircases wander, branch out, and even turn upside down so that a traveller farther ahead may appear as walking on the underside of a staircase and hanging head down in nothingness! >Also, can you tell me if there are any new developments on the Prof. >fabled third novel "The lords of Tsamra" ?
