A Look at Arkai: Leaders and Communicators
Numenera 2 allows players to choose from a total of six different character types: the Glaive, Nano, and Jack described in Numenera Discovery, and the Arkus, Wright, and Delve presented in Numenera Destiny. We previewed the Wrights, scrappy salvagers and crafters, but today, let’s take a high-level look at the Arkus!

The Trilling Shard: an Exclusive Numenera Sourcebook
Our Numenera setting books give you a sweeping tour of the diverse regions, people, and creatures of the Ninth World, its oceans, stars, and alternate dimensions. These books leave plenty of blanks for you to create around the established material without worrying about creating inconsistencies in that material.

Discover Your Desinty will come out early next year (before Numenera Discovery and Numenera Destiny), and eve...
