Where to buy!?

This is a very interesting and inspirational subject. It makes a real change from the usual NW European mythological milieu from which much of our fantasy imagery is drawn, which is nice.

Nothing available yet. We are currently looking into getting the Mara molded and cast up - will be sold as an offshoot of the Tekumel Club.

The Kshatriya - the Warrior Caste

The Kshatriya are the warrior caste in the Garden of Kama, as they are in India of old. They are the ruling caste of all nations except Champakou, the Land of the Black Lotus, where the priest-kings hold sway, raising the priestly caste above that of the warrior.

There are several recognized dynasties within the Kshatriya, as the various clans claim descent from different deities or ancient heroes. The four most prominent are:

1) The Suryavanshi or Solar dynasty, claiming descent from Surya, the God of the Sun;

2) The Chandravanshi or Lunar dynasty, claiming descent from Chandra, the God of the Moon;

3) The Agnivanshi or Fire dynasty, claiming descent from Agni, the God of Fire;

4) The Nāgvanshi or Serpent dynasty is a sub-clan of Suryavanshi kshatriyas. These two dynasties are often friendly towards each other.

There are also several "lost" dynasties, so-called because they are rarely found or have thought to have died out completely. These are the dynasties of Water, Air, Earth and Darkness. The Water dynasty still exists in isolated pockets along the coasts or the southern islands. It is said that the only Air dynasty left are in the mountains to the north and on the Terrible Plateau. The Earth dynasty is said to exist in deep forests and the remote parts of the western desert. The Darkness dynasty is held by many to be extinct.

I wonder what she's holding in her hand?

She has hands? I wasn't lookin...

Anyhow. A little bit of silliness I stumbled upon that might point at some inspirational sources:

I'm sadly uninfromed about Malaysian folklore but they seem to believe some seriously weird things go bump in the night...

I've commissioned some galleys based on the illustrations in "The Armies of Angkor" from whence some of the inspiration for the Garden of Kama is being drawn. Some Work-in-progress pics on the blog...

Really interesting project and some nice sculpts so far. Hope there's some available soon as these would be great for my planned India Pulp adventures.

Sir Barnaby Hammond-Rye · « **Reply #54 on:** March 22, 2012, 10:24:48 AM »

The masters are on there way to me! And the basic galley is done and should also be sailing on it's way very shortly.

Yay!

Sir Barnaby Hammond-Rye · « **Reply #57 on:** March 26, 2012, 06:25:54 PM »

Received the Mara sculpts today - yay! Now to make a decision re casting: resin or metal...

I forgot to add:

They are sweet!

tnjrp · « **Reply #58 on:** March 27, 2012, 07:32:11 AM »

If you can get them come out as good as Black Scorpion new plastic resin stuff then I'm all for resin. Have no idea who they did the casting with tho.

Stone Circle did a couple for Chinatown a ways back, but you can't get them for love nor money these days.

Most definitely!

Reaper just came out with one...
