Setting & Locations edit
Once a blue planet teeming with life, Athas has since been stripped of its fertility by the use of corrupting magic known as defiling magic, and the decay of its sun. Athas is a sun-burnt land forsaken by the gods, water, and hope.
- Tyr: Tyr is located just to the east of the Ringing Mountains. Tyr was ruled by the sorcerer-king Kalak until his overthrow on the verge of his ascension. It is now the only free city of the region, banning the practice of slavery. It shares much in common with its historical quasi-namesake Tyre, including a monopoly over purple dye.
- Urik: Ruled by the totalitarian Hamanu, Urik has become a closed city since the Great Earthquake, only rarely sending out trade caravans and remaining otherwise sealed. Inspired by Babylon and Uruk.
