The Burnt World of Athas

The “A Day in the Life of…” series is a collection of short stories focusing on a single day in the lives of Athasians who rarely shape history. Not the heroes who challenge sorcerer-kings or unearth ancient relics, they are the countless others who scrape together ceramic bits through toil and cunning. Told through their eyes, these stories breathe life into Athas, highlighting the constant daily struggle endured by the common folk.

This installment follows a day in the life of the water bearer Garoorag, a half-giant who unexpectedly gained his freedom during the chaotic uprising in Raam following the sudden disappearance of the sorcerer-queen Abalach-Re.

A tale about the former templar Zamash-Ur and his quest for power.

Abalach-Re was one of the Sorcerer-Monarchs the Heroes of Tyr killed in the events of the Prism Pentad, or was she?
