Introduction
Dark Sun is a post-apocalyptic fantasy setting originally created for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game. It is set on the desert world of Athas, a harsh and unforgiving planet where magic has drained the land of its vitality, leaving behind vast deserts, barren wastelands, and scattered city-states struggling to survive. The setting is characterized by its unique blend of fantasy and post-apocalyptic themes.
Themes and Tone
Dark Sun is known for its dark and gritty tone, emphasizing survival, scarcity of resources, and the struggle against oppressive forces. The world is ruled by powerful sorcerer-kings and tyrannical rulers who exploit their subjects, while the common people must contend with dangerous creatures, harsh environments, and limited resources. Themes of environmental degradation, social inequality, and the consequences of unchecked power are prevalent throughout the setting.
