Dark Sun Over Athas
“I live in a world of fire and sand. The crimson sun scorches
the life from anything that crawls or flies, and storms of
sand scour the foliage from the barren ground. This is a
land of blood and dust, where tribes of feral elves sweep out of the salt plains to plunder lonely caravans, mysterious
singing winds call travelers to slow suffocation in the Sea of
Silt, and selfish kings squander their subjects’ lives building
gaudy palaces and garish tombs. This bleak wasteland is
Athas, and it is my home.”
—The Wanderer’s Journal
Beneath a crimson sun lie wastelands of majestic desolation and cities of cruel splendor, where sandal-clad
heroes battle ancient sorcery and terrible monsters.
This is Athas, the world of the DARK SUN, a dying planet of savagery and desolation. Life hangs by a thread in this barren land.
