"Tears for the Red Sun"

Ancient treasures are buried under sand and stone on Ulaan, a desert planet dotted with densely packed city-states. Airships dot the skyline floating on waves of solar energy and carrying goods from city to city, as well as naive adventurers in search of glory.   Ulaan is a planet where magic has seasons. Magic is viewed as a force of nature, it has currents and patterns. All magic is sourced from Ulaan's twin suns, Ast, a large bright yellow sun, and Hata, a red dwarf radiating immense magical energy. When Hata eclipses Ast it looks as if an enormous eye is peering down on the planet, wildly increasing the power of arcane magic. When the red dwarf goes behind the yellow sun magical power is almost non-existent, much to the dismay of wizards and magical folk who profit and rely on it.   Eons ago it was a lush green world full of jungles and massive oceans, but the effects of a 12000-year-old war have turned much of the planet into an arid desert. Ulaan's deserts are full of gigantic coral reefs and sea creatures that have evolved and adapted to living in a magic desert. Creatures descended from blue whales roam the open plains feeding on insects, while the sky is filled with fish floating on the waves of magical currents.   Despite its bleak society (much like our own), life is sustained in this harsh desert through commerce and trade among cities and advancements in technology and magic.   (SOME ARTICLES ARE WORKS IN PROGRESS!)
