The Guréks of Tléku Miriyá

Snippet from "Swords and Glory" map


The city of Tléku Miriyá is situated on the south-eastern border of Yán Kór shared with Saá Allaqí, at the western end of the Jánnu range and overlooked by the mighty Borodún Head. (The maps on the Tekumel site erroneously show it as part of Saá Allaqí.)

Lord Zhú Kriyór, the clan leader of Tléku Miriyá, is an enthusiastic supporter of Baron Áld and has raised two guréks in support of his cause.

Bare Metal!



L-to-R: Officer or Command Staff Plume, 
Tsolyáni Helmet Plume, 
Yán Koryáni Helmet Plume.


Various Banner Plumes. Legion of Sérqu on the right.


Tsolyáni Shields: Ever-Present Glory, Sérqu, Lady Mríssa, Sapphire Kirtle 


Various Weapons. 

Note that the two long handled, jagged-edged weapons are the same zig-zag sword. Eureka molded it with a long "tag" sprouting from the handle, presumably to help with metal flow. They shipped them with that bit of extra metal still attached, with the curl as per the sword third from the right. My friend sent his to another friend to be painted and that friend straightened the curved bit of metal to make exotic looking spears!  

The other thing about this sword is that, in addition to being a pole weapon, it can be made into three different swords. As it is it is more like a bastard sword, being quite long in the blade. If you trim off the last zig you get a regular length sword and if you trim the next zag you get a short sword! Pretty cool, eh?

I think I am going to try making some cool polearms from these. Just a bit of trimming and drilling is all it should take. Could be doing it now if I weren't typing this text...
