DARK SUN!

GATES
OF NIBENAY
Inisde the great gate to the city of Nibenay, a small fountain
provides water for those travellers who come through...for a
price, of course. The templar who controls the fountain, and
her half-giant bodguard have leapt t the attack though...and
chaos seems to have awoken around her, as the Dark Sun sets...
So, what do you think is happening,hm? ;)

TEMPLAR
OF NIBENAY
Nibenay, the Shadow King...his city is named after the enigmatic
sorceror-king. Templars are the administrators, bureacrats,
priests, assassins, and military officers of the sorceror-kings.
In Nibenay's case, so it is said, they are also, his wives,
for he only chooses beautiful women for his templars!

SUN - SEA OF SILT

is home to vast, tentacled horrors...

OASIS
The world of Athas maybe dying...but some still fight against
the end of life, refusing to let the waters of life be burned
off by a sun gone mad!
A thri-kreen druid performs a ritual that summons water back
to the old oasis, as the larger moon and the sun hit a specific
alignment...as he and his forebears have done for untold years...

DARK SUN - CRODLU RIDER
In the wastes of Athas, a lone rider protects himself and his
crodlu mount, from one of the many scavengers...no need to waste
effort and precious water, no need to fight...not when your
mind can bend even the will of a scorpion to your bidding!
Crodlu, one of the favoured riding beasts of the world of the
Dark Sun. Tough deadly, dependable, but expensive.
The rider is experienced, no need to panic, as panic is a dangerous
thing indeed in the wastes. So he calmly deals with the threat
with his formidable mind. 30-12-2008

DARK SUN - DEFIANCE!
He has escaped slavery, fought the beasts of thew wasteland,
all to achieve freedom! To escape slavery, to escape slaughtering
other people in the gladiatorial pits, to escape slaughtering
his comrades for the perverse pleasure of debauched nobles and
merchants...
But he cannot beat the desert, with his water gone, and death
soon to come, he cries out his defiance, his anguish!
H he is not some brute, though he was bred and trained to supernally
strong and lethal, all he wants, is freedom, to have a family,
to live for HIMSELF!
And so, if he must die, he does not do so with the animalistic
hate his masters wanted him to be full of, but with anguish,
and despair at lost dreams, but also, defiance: he WILL die
a FREE MAN!

A strange, eerie place...on entering this region, it seems the
entire world has changed! The Sun is a massive fiery red orb,
the heat soars, sand and dust encrust the myriad of winding
canyons and gulleys...inhabited by the kobolds, small and full
of wicked guile, the small lizardmen make the place even more
dangerous than the threats the strange land throws in the face
of travellers!
