The Burnt World of Athas

This is the journal of Zong-Tossu, a master ghav-urath (life-shaper) from the Rhul-thaun capital of Thamasku. Zong-Tossu was sent by the har-etuil (judgment-makers) along with a detachment of junior life-shapers and lawkeepers to investigate a mysterious ring of standing stones and the strange creatures said to occasionally appear within. The expeditionary force was accompanied by a thri-kreen emissary known as Cho’ka.

Having made their way through the subterranean sea deep beneath the Island of the Pariahs, Zong-Tossu and his group emerge onto the surface again, but strange challenges await them in this new land.

The “A Day in the Life of…” series is a collection of short stories focusing on a single day in the lives of Athasians who rarely shape history.

Told through their eyes, these stories breathe life into Athas, highlighting the constant daily struggle endured by the common folk.

In the late 90’s a series of unofficial Dark Sun Netprojects were created on the Dark Sun mailing list. This list of Athasian Armor is one such project. The multitude of second edition stats for armor allowed a variance of each type of armor made from different Athasian creatures, creating a rich, detailed setting.

In the ’90s a series of Net Projects were coordinated on the Dark Sun Mailing List. This project was about Dark Sun equipment.
