THE TAÍNO PEOPLE NEVER DISAPPEARED. WE JUST WENT UNDERGROUND.

For centuries, the world declared us extinct. Our language suppressed. Our spirituality driven into hiding. Our culture reduced to footnotes in colonial history books. But the Zemí—the spirits of rivers, mountains, hurricanes, and stones—never stopped speaking. And we never stopped listening. The Temple of Gu: Call of the Taíno is a 200-page expansion for the award-winning Temple of Gu tabletop roleplaying game that uses collaborative storytelling to teach genuine spiritual practice. This is not fantasy worldbuilding. This is cultural resurrection through game design—a complete guide to walking the Taíno spiritual path through the structure of dice, character sheets, and shared narrative.

A WORLD WITHOUT COLONIZATION

Imagine Puerto Rico (Borikén) as it could have been: thriving Taíno cities blend ancient wisdom with modern technology. The University of Borikén teaches both traditional knowledge and cutting-edge science. The Grand Batey in San Juan hosts sacred ball games that resolve conflicts and divine the future. Solar farms honor the sun Zemí. Fiber optic networks carry prayers alongside data. This is Afrofuturist methodology applied to Indigenous experience—showing possibility instead of only trauma, building the future we were denied.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

For RPG Players who want collaborative storytelling that matters—where choices have spiritual weight, where game sessions become genuine practice, where character development mirrors real transformation. For Spiritual Seekers who want to walk an Indigenous path with guidance, structure, and authentic teachings from someone who has done the work for decades. For Puerto Ricans and Caribbean peoples reclaiming ancestral practices, learning what was taken, discovering that our culture is not dead but sleeping—and that we can wake it. For Anyone who has felt the call of rivers and mountains, who suspects the world is more alive than we're taught, who wants to build relationship with land and spirits through reverence rather than extraction.
