Dark Sun is a post-apocalyptic fantasy setting for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game. It features a harsh desert world called Athas, where magic has drained the land of life, leading to a barren landscape filled with dangerous creatures and powerful sorcerer-kings. The environment is characterized by extreme heat, scarce resources, and a struggle for survival. In Dark Sun, traditional fantasy elements are reimagined. There are no typical forests or lush landscapes; instead, players encounter vast wastelands and ancient ruins. The setting emphasizes themes of environmental degradation, tyranny, and the consequences of unchecked power, making it a unique and challenging experience for players.
