Welcome to Athas
You live in a world of fire and sand. The crimson sun scorches the life from anything that crawls or flies, and storms scour the foliage from the barren ground.
Lightning strikes from the cloudless sky, Even the wind, dry and searing as a kiln, can kill a man with thirst.
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 men to slow suffocation in a Sea of Silt , and legions of slaves clash over a few bushels of moldering grain. The dragon despoils entire cities, while selfish kings squander their armies raising gaudy palaces and garish tombs.
This is Athas, this is the land under the Dark Sun , and where you shall live your life...
Until you die...
