Editing The Savage Sun (section)

==The World==
[[File:Darksunmap.png|center|1300px]]

Welcome to the world of Athas, where a blistering desert burns under a dark sun, where water is scarce, trust is scarcer, and metal is more valuable than gemstones. 

It is a land ruled by the immortal sorcerer-kings and their templar servants, who command the city-states of the Tablelands . . . but all must bow to the raw destructive power of the Dragon. 

It is a world where the powers of the mind are supreme, and wizardly magic is enough to see one burned at the stake. 

It is a world without gods, but where mighty elemental forces empower mortal champions in a desperate effort to revitalize the dying land.

It is a world of slavery and rebellion, of treachery and heroism, where mantis warriors and half-giant gladiators walk side by side with treacherous elf thieves and half-dwarven muls.

Welcome to the world of Dark Sun.
