Dark Sun

Dark Sun is set in a post-apocalyptic fantasy world called Athas. Ruins, dry river beds and a multitude of other things point to this world as once being a green, live world. What it has become is a husk. The world is tired, the sun is old, and the magic is corrosive. The cruel nature of the world has weeded out the weak, and only the strong and the ruthless remain. The majority of the civilized world is situated within one of the seven city-states, safe from the horrors of the desert, but ruled by even more dangerous beings called sorcerer-monarchs. Those with high morals don't usually fare well in the city-states, and are often forced to live outside of the safety that their walls provide or succumb to slavery.

Although the many small villages, forts, and outposts dotting the desert provide a higher degree of freedom, so does the dangers increase. Getting eaten alive by a wild creature while screaming your lungs out, getting stabbed in your sleep, dying of thirst or heat with no salvation in sight; these are not uncommon ends one finds out in the desert.

Our story begins near Raam, a city-state ruled by a sorcerer-queen who calls herself the Grand Vizier. Our protagonists are challenged by powerful templars, slavers, creatures of the desert, giant insects and more. Follow their story as each session is recounted from the point of view of a different protagonist. The story might struggle to fit together as a result but we hope it will give you an insight into their personalities and their view of each other.
