I am these days much of the mind that the spirit of Dark Sun is best served by an almost utterly closed cosmology. Whether existing in an alternate PMP, an alternate dimension, or what have you, there should be almost no business or relationship between Dark Sun and the traditional AD&D multiverse. Under the Dark Sun, aasimon and demons do not belong, nor priests of real alien gods who can bring moralistic hope or doom to mortals. Athas must not bloom again because a hierophant druid of Sylvanus walks the Tablelands.

Keltis, lately called Oronis by his followers, was the first among the champions for this particular meeting, which meant that he ha…
