Athas: a dying world with a dying sun where Sorcerer Kings have selfishly sucked the very life from the world to fuel their petty desires.

Unlike many other worlds, Death due to deprivation is as common as violence, if not moreso.

This is a time that will one day be known as "The Brown Age". For those who might want to Save the World, things look hopeless.

But you are Kreen. You are not out on some Grand Mission. You are hunters out to fed your clutches. Your story may never be one of Glory or Planetary Salvation. But Never is a long time and one Kreen don't worry about.
