Long ago, when the planet was green, the brutal might of the primordials overcame the gods. Today, Athas is a world without deities. No clerics, no paladins, and no prophets live on Athas. And religious orders are dedicated to sorcerer-kings who claim godhood. Old shrines and crumbling temples lie amid ancient ruins, testimony to a time when the gods spoke to the people of Athas. Nothing but the sighing of the desert wind is heard now.
In the absence of divine guidance, other powers have come to prominence in the world. Psionic power is well known and widely practiced on Athas; even unintelligent desert monsters can have deadly psionic abilities. Meanwhile, shamans and druids call on the world’s primal powers, which are often sculpted by the influence of elemental power.
