Sometime after the disaster, human scientists/philosophers (perhaps aided by the some of the more psychically gifted nonhumans) discovered that in the new dimension, the power of the human mind alone, unaided by technology, could draw power through from extra-dimensional space, and "magic" developed. Civilization fell rather messily, and the Time of Darkness descended.

The native races, who'd been confined in prison-like "reservations", broke free and made war. Interstellar trade was immediately and permanently severed. Gravitic stresses nearly tore the planet apart, and destroyed many cities and installations. Tékumel was situated on a major trade route, and became a mercantile pleasure world, which had to import metals and industrial goods for the very rich that lived there.Īpparently, through unknown agency, Tékumel and its entire star system fell into a pocket dimension. Humans, and their alien allies, conquered the natives and terraformed the planet, making its ecosystem very earthlike and installing massive gravity engines that gave it an Earthlike day and year and 1.0G. It was home to acidic native life forms, several of which were sentient and had even attained early space flight. Tékumel was a large world, but had a light core and a low density. South America, the Indian subcontinent, and the Middle East (for some reason) survived (no mention is made in the brief introduction of Africa) survived, and gradually rebuilt and became a world state of sorts, and humanity spread to the stars, using miraculously high technology (FTL ships-the "Three-Light Drive," contra-gravity, beam weapons, super-dense alloys, androids, and power systems which poked holes in the continuum and drew near-limitless energy through from n-dimensional space). There was a terrible nuclear war on Earth around 2013, and the European nations and the U.S.
