====The Athas Star at 06.02====

'''World of Note: Athas'''
A desert world renowned for being one of the remaining centres of psionic learning. If you can survive the parching heat and ruined atmosphere, you can learn disciplines of the mind to rival any arcane feat from either the Halfling nomads or the Thri-kreen brood keepers if they'll have you. In addition to the secrets of the mind, the planet is studded with ruins. Most of these are the remnants of the Halfling Civilization that oversaw the ruination of their planet's ecosystem and its collapse into a desert world. However, some of these ruins are older still, emerging now from the wind scoured sands. The population of Athas are uneasy about these sites, and those among them with the most potent natural talents stay away from them. They do not, however, have anything explicitly against outsiders examining them. In fact, the latest grand gathering explicitly allowed it.
