A true newbie to Tekumel might be better off playing a barbarian while they get a feel for Tsolyani culture under circumstances where any faux pas is likely to forgiven as outlander ignorance. People more familiar with the setting can don't really need that small crutch - and a mixed party of some tyros and some vets can be interesting as the citizens spend time coaching their barbarian friends' uncouth behavior. I remember playing a campaign like that where two of us were Tsolyani explorers who'd returned with a half-dozen barbarians who we'd brought back as a combination of living trophies and potential diplomatic contacts.
