Dark Sun

Dark Sun is a unique setting for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, set on the desert-like planet of Athas. Unlike typical fantasy worlds, it features a harsh, arid environment with scarce water and resources, where powerful sorcerer-heroes control city-states. Magic has drained the land of life, leading to a barren landscape with mutated creatures. Society is often brutal and survival-focused, emphasizing resilience and adaptation. The setting challenges players to navigate a unforgiving world where nature is damaged, magic is both a tool and a threat, and traditional fantasy tropes are reimagined in a gritty, post-apocalyptic tone.
