Keléstia Productions comprehensive list and descriptions, books, etc.


Note: ADD proper names and cross-internal links.

Note: ADD list of "special" details to add the various details for extras, ie. saltmarshes of Vashel, under Tamsen Forest.

Note: Text Highlight and Background Colour: Kandáy, Réthem, Thârda, Káldôr, Mèlderýn, Chybísa, Orbáal, Ázadmêre, Eváel.

Note: Green = I Have, Red = Don't Have, Orange = Old Scan, Blue = Misc, Black = ALL Base (Template)

Note: Colour Highlights: Yellow

Colour LINK Text: Possible Link NAME

Note: Hidden comments <!-- TEXT HERE WILL NOT BE DISPLAYED -->

Note: Anchor Points - Section linking WITHIN pages USE [[Help:Section#Section_linking|Section linking]] or To link to a section in the same page you can use [[#section name|displayed text]], and to link to a section in another page [[page name#section name|displayed text]].

Note: Section linking with arbitrary id USE <span id="anchor_name"></span>. Be sure to use a name that is not likely to be duplicated. One way to do this is to incorporate the titles of the higher-level sections, at least in abbreviated form, e.g., Ontario-Natural_features for the "Natural features" subsection of the "Ontario" section of an article about the provinces of Canada.

About

Keléstia Productions publishes role-playing materials for use with Hârn, a fictitious setting. Keléstia Productions was created by N. Robin Crossby, the original creator of Hârn, after a contract dispute with publisher Columbia Games proved irresolvable.

Keléstia Productions is known for the incredible detail and high design standards of its online products. As of this writing, Kelestia Productions produces no printed materials. A community of dedicated fans produces additional highly-detailed supplements.

Despite disagreements between Keléstia Publications and rival Columbia Games, the products produced by both entities are completely compatible either "as-is" or with the use of simple conversion information available freely through the fan community. The fan community produces additional high-quality supplements that are compatible with both Columbia Games and Kelestia Productions products.

Since the death of N. Robin Crossby, Keléstia Productions has continued as company owned by Crossby's estate, principally producing products describing the wider world beyond Hârn.

History

N. Robin Crossby left Columbia Games in 1994, after the company had been publishing material for his world of Hârn for over a decade. Columbia initially maintained their rights to Hârn, but Crossby eventually self-published Hârnmaster Gold (1998), Crossby's competitor to Columbia's own Hârn RPG.<ref name="designers"/>Template:Rp

In 2003 Crossby terminated his contract with Columbia Games and formed Keléstia Productions to continue Hârn publications of his own. Columbia refused to recognize Crossby's ability to terminate their agreement but Crossby nonetheless proceeded to publish on his own. Keléstia's production was limited to PDFs, which started out with a new edition of the Hârnmaster Gold Player Edition (2003), followed by a few other rule books. Beyond that Crossby began to present information on some of the other islands near Hârn, including The Kingdom of Chelemby (2005) and Hârbáaler Kingdom of Lédenheim (2008). Kèthîra (2005) presented an overview of the entire world of Hârn.

Crossby became sick around 2006 and died in 2008. Since then, his eldest daughter, Arien, has continued Keléstia's publication of what Crossby labelled as "Hârn Canon". Books postdating Crossby's death, such as Venârivè: Northwestern Lýthia (2010) emphasize Keléstia's commitment to detailing the wider world of Hârn, not just rehashing the Kingdoms on the nominal island.


In September, 2009, Keléstia was also granted a trademark to the name Hârn by the Canadian Intellectual Property Office.

Publications

Keléstia Productions Ltd has produced a range of publications which detail the world of Hârn, including:

  • Venârivè: Northwestern Lýthia - describes the whole region of the continent of Lýthia where the island of Hârn is located. The region of 'Venârivè' is broadly analogous to Europe.<ref>Jeremy W Baker. Venârivè: Northwestern Lýthia". Keléstia Productions, 2010, Template:ISBN</ref>
  • Venârive Player Guide - a guide for players of characters in the region of Venârivè.
  • Kingdom of Chélemby - a guide to the realm of Chélemby, an island trading-state somewhat analogous to historical Visby.
  • Chéler Player Guide - a guide for players of characters from or visiting the realm of Chélemby.
  • Chélemby: City of the Sea Kings - a detailed description of the city of the same name.
  • Evánekin: Naval Port of Chélemby.
  • Kolâdis: Castle Town of Chélemby.
  • Hârn Interactive Regional Map.

In addition, Keléstia Productions provides the following components of the HârnMaster system:

  • HârnMaster Gold: Player Edition
  • HârnMaster Gold: Gamemaster Edition
  • HârnMaster Gold: Bestiary
  • HârnMaster Gold: Shèk-P'vâr

HârnWorld Modules

Kèthîra, the World of Hârn (or HârnWorld) – easily one of the most detailed, consistent, and believable fantasy game worlds ever created; HârnWorld can be used together with all role-playing rules systems, however, we recommend HârnMaster Gold.

Premium Content

At Keléstia Productions we are always looking for ways to reward our customers. Without your support, we couldn't continue to develop new material for HârnWorld and Kèthîra.

We also have a considerable amount of material that is under development, but not yet ready for publication; which we would however love to get comment and feedback on.

After quite some thought we think we have identified a way to meet both of these objectives. We are calling this Premium Content.

The way this works is simple: For any of our customers who has spent $100 or more on this website, we will make available a growing amount of 'pre-publication' material. This will be accessible from a Premium tab on the menu bar of this site. Needless to say this will only be viewable by those who have spent the necessary amount.

This material will be 'pre-publication' in that while quite some work will have gone into it, it won't be completely finalised, official or 'canon'. In fact, in many cases we will welcome feedback and comment from our customers, so that we can further improve the material before it is finalised and published.

We hope that people will find this Premium Content a welcome bonus, and we look forward to it enabling more engagement and interaction with our customers.

Regards

Jeremy Baker (aka Fastred)

Project Director

Chapters and Sections

to UPDATE: with Chapters (breakdown) by each Heading type (list Font Name/Type (Italic, Bold, etc.), Size, and Key for description). All this will breakdown and make things easier later on when it comes time to figure out the wiki layout, templates required, and code for special additions like Headers & Foots and so on.

  • Book Title: Albertus-Bold 96pt
    • Credits: AmasisMT,Bold 14pt
    • Chapter Title: Korinna-Bold 18pt (Header Title Name: Korinna-Bold 14pt/Header Section/Page#: Korinna-Bold 18pt)
      • Chapter subheading: Korinna-Bold 14pt
        • Chapter section: Korinna-Bold 12pt
          • Chapter Text Intro: AmasisMT-Regular 12pt
            • Chapter Text: AmasisMT-Regular 10pt
  • Chapter sidebar Header: Korinna-Bold 10pt
    • Chapter sidebar Text: AmasisMT-Regular 9pt
  • Place these in layered bullets lists and add font to code, possibly even a template for each font making a wiki system for Styles (as in MS Word).
  • Add a "Template:{{Infobox game}}" & "{{Primarysources}}" from HârnMaster at wikipedia.
  • Add Header and foot style to each page via templates.


Name & Dates List

Note: ADD a proper/seperate page for this all as a table. Once broken down into the Book Style like Kanday's split page style, can then add Category for each section part so that a complete list then gets made for all the pages for "said name". The once this is done, can then add this comprehensive list to "that" Index Section for "Category". In the end the aim is to create a complete "Name & Dates List/Index" so all the LINKS for names can then not only be categorised, but also interlinked between ALL articles and books, especially for DATES as this will be required to create a comprehensive Chronology Timeline and quick inter-referencing of the subject link(s).

Note: ADD links to each Name & Date within the Tabled Index, these should also include Eras & Periods for dates.

Note: INCLUDE all these into the Template (Sidebars & other data) Tables and so on.

Note: Example: Mercenary Companies would not only have a template for the Company, but be interlinked with that Type as a Category reflecting and showing Country, Shire, Hundred, Leader, Associated to/Sponsor, Location/Region and all other manner of data links within the design of the template and interact automatically with other templates, catergories, and index link lists.

Note: Example: A river would have a sidebar template that includes it's source length and so on, but also show not only the Catergories & Names, but be reflected within each of those Categories & Names Listed together. Basically internested Data, Links, Catergories, and so on to save redoing all links again with new pages or modifications, it automatically gets updated once interconnected correctly.
