DARK SUN & SPELLJAMMER

EXODUS

Size C ~ Spherical ~ Earth Body (Fire Rings)

Exodus is a small, baked prime-world similar to Athas. The dwarves are bald and the elves are long and gangly, but there is little silt and enough water for the inhabitants to survive. The main problem is the size of the world. The land is easily out-hunted and -grazed, and the various different tribes are too large and packed into too small a space. Few humans live on Exodus.

The secret of the world is this: all of the people of Exodus are descended from Athasians. They fled Athas during the Cleansing Wars, and have since evolved along different (but similar) lines from their ancestor races. Few species possess oral or written history of this time, but most have legends of coming to Exodus ‘from a distant world’. It is said the elves of Exodus remember, for they live to a ripe 400 years this far from Dark Sun (and the sorcerer-kings' magic). The elves might even have a spelljammer or (less likely) Planar Gate, kept since the migration. They might just be waiting a long time for the Cleansing Wars to end.

The Path of Fire (as the Exodans call the fire rings) is visible from most places on Exodus, stretching as a great golden band from horizon to horizon. Local myths say that this is the road to heaven. Curious, as the Exodans once equated the Path of Fire as a road back to Athas.
