Dark Sun Hub BROWSE MY DARK SUN ITEMS CURRENTLY IN STOCK   DARK SUN series of adventure folio boxes (1991-4).  Freedom (DS1)
"Enter the ancient and corrupt city of Tyr, whose tyrannical sorceror-king has ruled for a millennium. As you wander the city, from the wreck of the elven warrens to the sanguine splendor of the arena, you realize that the citizens of Tyr thirst less for water than they do for freedom. Now, after a century of slave labor, sorceror king Kalak's great ziggurat nears completion. He has promised the city a grand celebration when the monument is done, complete with the most brutal arena spectacle in Tyr's long history. Rumors abound as to the nature of the spectacle: some believe it will bring with it the longed-for manumission of countless slaves; others fear the annihilation of Tyr and her people as a sacrifice to Kalak's hunger for power; and a secret few believe it will be a day of revolution - a day of freedom! Designed for four to seven players of starting levels, the DM's Book and Player's Book inside this pack provide the DARK SUN game DMs with a campaign base in Tyr, and give PCs a brutal introduction to Athas." 1991 ... 2 spiral books + 16-page booklet ("Shackles") ... David "Zeb" Cook ... TSR 2401 ... ISBN 1560761059 Check Wayne's Books Inventory  Road to Urik (DSQ1)
"'Tyr is free! Tyr is free!' Such is the heady cry that echoes from the darkest warrens to the gleaming chambers of the Council in that ancient city. Now is your chance to savor life released from the oppresive gloom of the sorceror-kings - but for how long? New forces threaten the newly-born independence of Tyr, as outside forces march upon the city. King Tithian is determined to resist, but there are others on the Council of Advisors less eager to risk their wealth and lives for the cause of independence. It falls upon you to help mobilize and lead the citizen-army of Tyr on the road to Urik. Designed for four to six characters of 4th to 7th level, Road to Urik is set in and around Tyr, the campaign base for your DARK SUN game. A stand-alone adventure, Road to Urik can also be played as the sequel to Freedom." The back of the Player flipbook has 6 pre-made character cards. -W 1992 ... David "Zeb" Cook & M.C. Sumner ... 16-page booklet ("Loyalties") + two 48-page flip books ... TSR 2406 ... ISBN 1560762489 Check Wayne's Books Inventory  Arcane Shadows (DSQ2)
"Tyr has been freed, and the mighty army of Urik has been turned back. These are new and strange times, indeed. Now Urik has become home -- at least for a while -- and there are new markets to shop, new streets to explore, and, oh yes, preservers to meet. Preservers, the keepers of good magic, have sent a mysterious summons. They are ready to embark on a new and dangerous plot to thwart sorceror-kings and bring new life to Athas. To associate with preservers is dangerous to say the least, but when the king's templars uncover the schemes, a death mark falls upon all involved. Will a desperate journey across the wastelands, with the templars in hot pursuit, end in victory or chaos? The answers lie in the hearts of mighty heroes and the recesses of Arcane Shadows. Designed for four to six characters of 5th to 8th level, Arcane Shadows is set in Urik. A stand-alone adventure, Arcane Shadows can aslo be played as the sequel to Freedom and Road to Urik." 1992 ...

"The palace of the Forest Queen contains treasures unimaginable. To the sons and daughters of Athas's harsher climes, Gulg and the Crescent Forest seem almost perversely lush, a jumble of green and growing things hording precious water for the benefit of the few. But while basking in the glow of Lalali-Puy's gratitude, your characters have the richness of the forest at your beck and call. Of course, the Oba's sensibilities are easily bruised, and her nature is notoriously unforgiviing. Gulg's dank dungeons are only a staging area to a deadly ceremony, where the young nobles of the city chase prisoners through the forest to earn their places as lord of their city -- the Red Moon Hunt. Designed for four to six characters of 7th to 10th level, Asticlian Gambit makes them pawns in a dangerous game between the Oba of Gulg, the Shadow King of Nibenay, and mysterious representatives of the Asticles family of Tyr. A stand-alone adventure, Asticlian Gambit can also be played as the sequel to Freedom, Road to Urik, and Arcane Shadows." 1992 ...

"Out of the swirling, bone-dry sands of Athas come hordes of raiders. They overrun caravans, strip them bare, then vanish into the untracked wastes once more. Who are these ghosts of the desert? Where do they live? How do they survive far from the high walls of the city-states? Slave Tribes answers these and many more questions about the ex-slaves who escape into the desert. The DARK SUN game world is now open to campaigns in realms beyond the reach of the sorceror-kings. The most prominent and successful slave tribes of the Tyr region are presented in great detail in this accessory. Slave Tribes enables the DM to create entirely new tribes to roam his DARK SUN campaign. It also shows players how to form their own tribes when their characters escape the clutches of the sorceror-kings. The deadly world of Athas shows no mercy to those who are unprepared for its dangers!" 1992 ... Bill Slavicsek ... 96 pages ... TSR 2404 ... ISBN 1560762713 Check Wayne's Books Inventory  Dune Trader (DSR2)
"In the harsh lands of Athas, even the bare necessities of life are hard to come by. The caravans of the traders ply the shifting sands, daring raiders and the elements to bring goods and hope to both the teeming hordes of the city-states and the isolated villagers in the trackless wastelands. Without the traders, life on Athas would be impossible. Dune Trader explores the lives of the people who are the lifeblood of Athas. The major merchant houses of the Tyr region are described, as well as minor houses, elven merchant and raiding tribes, and the mercantile tendencies of all the races of Athas. The personalities who drive these houses and tribes are detailed fully within these pages. A new character class is introduced here - the trader class. The DM receives complete instructions on how to run a trader-based campaign, and the players are shown how to play trader characters and start their own merchant houses. The most vital and exciting challenges on Athas await within this book!" 1992 ... Anthony Pryor ... 96 pages ... TSR 2407 ... ISBN 1560765453 Check Wayne's Books Inventory  Veiled Alliance (DSR3)
"Few safe havens exist on Athas, and fewer still for preservers. In the hidden places of the cities - a potter's shop, a crematoria, even under the very palace of a sorceror-king - the Veiled Alliance abides, aiding and protecting preservers and auxiliaries, and standing against defilers. In Tyr, Balic, Draj, Gulg, Nibenay, Raam, and Urik, protection from the dark forces of Athas endures. Secret recognition signals preserve their identities. For those seeking membership comes a testing: after true intentions are proven, tests are administered and, if failed, leads to a terrible death. If successful, the candidate looks forward to years of perilous work and strife - the results of which may never see the pages of a journal. And no one quits the Alliance without facing requital. Veiled Alliance presents the DM with all the information required to create Alliance-centered campaigns on Athas -- detailed information about the five aims, adventure hooks for each Alliance, recognition signals, and maps of various headquarters. All the features you need to create thrilling, fundamental challenges to the Alliance on the ruthless world of Athas are now revealed." 1992 ... Allen Varney ... 96 pages ... TSR 2411 ... ISBN 1560763132 Check Wayne's Books Inventory  Valley of Dust and Fire (DSR4)
"For thousands of years a great and terrible secret has lain hidden in the depths of the Sea of Silt. In the heart of this vast dust basin, an endless storm of ash and shrieking wind guards the deadliest concentration of evil and power found on the dying world of Athas - the Valley of Dust and Fire. Valley of Dust and Fire more than doubles the known portions of the world of Athas. Intrepid explorers will discover new wonders and perils within the deadly Sea of Silt, from the beautiful island of Shault to the savage Mountains of the Sun. New rules for traveling the dust basin and surviving its many dangers are included. With luck and determination, a skillful and well-prepared party just might pass through the Great Ash Storm and enter the Valley of Dust and Fire. But this realm of shattered badlands and awful monsters is so deadly that only one man has ever reached the valley and returned to tell the tale." 1992 ... L.

"Tyr has battled and bled for its freedom, throwing off the yokes of an insane sorceror-king and slavery. The city stands poised on the brink of democracy. but has Tyr the strength to seize the future and shape it in the image of that freedom, or has the city merely traded one form of slavery for another? City-State of Tyr addresses these matters and more. Within this 96-page booklet is the most complete, detailed description of Tyr's peoples, places, and plots ever. The premier city of the DARK SUN campaign setting now lies complete for an Athasian campaign's player characters.

"On a world with no gods, what do priests serve? The priest class on Athas is unique and distinct from the priest classes of any other AD&D world. Athasian priests worship no gods, collect no followers, and carry edged weapons. Earth, Air, Fire, and Water answers all your questions about this singular class of clerics. Here are the elemental priests who serve the elementals and Athas. They strive to return their barren and battered world to its former state of lush green valleys, forested mountains, and cool waterfalls. Here are the paraelemental priests who oppose the restoration of Athas, serving the paraelements whose power and might is growing as defiler magic continues to plunge Athas further into decay and ruin. New priest kits allow PCs to become an Athasian elemental priest of Earth, of Air, of Fire, or of Water - but they can only serve one, for the elements are jealous masters. Each kit contains unique powers, limitations, and proficiencies. Each offers four different ways in which to bring about the regeneration of Athas: as a Wanderer, as a Guardian of a shrine, as a City Cleric, or as a Shaman of a tribe. But beware the paraelemental priests - their success depends upon the failure of the elemental clerics!" 1993 ... Shane Lacy Hensley ... 96 pages ... TSR 2422 ... ISBN 1560766522 Check Wayne's Books Inventory  Elves of Athas (DSS3)
"They run across the burning plains where others fear to walk. They live for the moment, these savages of a dying world. The elves of Athas are wild, dangerous, and unlike any other elves. Forget the frail forest dwellers of other campaign worlds. Athas's elves stand tall and lean, with long limbs and fearsome faces. They are thieves and raiders, swift warriors and terrible foes. Elves of Athas explores the passions that drive them, the abilities that make them different from other races, and the outlook that lets them survive beneath the crimson sun. This accessory uncludes savage encounters with the better known tribes and an updated map of the Tablelands region. For players, there are new rules for character creation and new Athasian elf kits - offered to DARK SUN game characters for the first time. The elves of Athas are forged in the endless depths of the desert - burned dark by the sun, toughened by the swirling sand, and given strength and swiftness by the constant wind. Come run with them - if you dare!" 1993 ... Bill Slavicsek ... 96 pages + fold-out map ... TSR 2423 ...
