Original Release

The original Kingdoms of Kalamar material was clearly intended for use with Dungeons & Dragons, while carefully avoiding any direct trademark or copyright infringement. The setting appeared in two books, the Sourcebook of the Sovereign Lands, and Mythos of the Divine and Worldly. While distribution was not widespread, fans of the setting continued to support it.

The Sourcebook of the Sovereign Lands detailed the people and places of Tellene, the campaign’s continent (and world). It broke the continent down into six regions and examined each one on a large scale.

The Mythos of the Divine and Worldly examined the setting’s 43 gods with a great amount of detail, including holidays, descriptions of clerical garb, and common sacrifices. It also described secret societies and the setting’s astrology and calendar.

These products were available individually or together in a box set with an excellent two-part map.
