Skyrealms of JoruneWhat Is Jorune?
Skyrealms of Jorune is a science-fantasy roleplaying world first published in 1984, created by Andrew Leker, Miles Teves, and Amy Leker Kalish. It was strange, exotic, dangerous, and unforgettable for anyone who read it.
Thousands of years ago, colonists from Earth came to Jorune, a world that already had its own people. The colony fell. Its descendants forgot where they came from, and humanity had to rebuild among native races and newly made ones, on a world whose very air carries a living energy called Isho.
By the time your characters arrive, humans share Jorune with peoples bred from Earth’s animals, with the native shantha who weave Isho as easily as breathing, and with stranger races still. Relics of the lost colony, called Earth-Tec, are treasures. Islands of rock and crystal float in the sky. Seven moons govern the colors of Isho and the dyshas that skilled weavers can call on.
Most stories begin in the realm of Burdoth, where newcomers known as tauther earn their place as drenn, the realm’s citizens, through service and deeds.
Why a Worldbook?
Jorune went through three editions of rules, but it is the world that has captured imaginations for decades. These books gather that world from across its publishing history and leave the rules to you, so you can play it with a system you already know or build a new one.
