This wiki holds details about the Athas campaign at the Adventurer's Academy.

Campaigns

There are several campaigns that have run at the Adventurer's Academy featuring the burnt world of Athas.

Freedom

Enter the ancient and corrupt city of Tyr, whose tyrannical Sorcerer-King has ruled for a millennium. As you wander the city, from the wreck of the elven warrens to the supreme splendor of the arena, you realize that the citizens of Tyr thirst less for water than they do for freedom.

Now, after a century of slave labor, Sorcerer King Kalak's great ziggurat nears completion. He has promised the city a grand celebration when the monument is done, complete with the most brutal arena match in Tyr's long history. Rumors abound as to the nature of the spectacle. Some believe it will bring with it the longed-for manumission of countless slaves. Others fear the annihilation of Tyr and her people as a sacrifice to Kalak's hunger for power. Only a secret few believe it will be a day of revolution - a day for freedom!

Please be advised that while not the focus, this fantasy campaign includes themes of environmental collapse, slavery, racism, and torture.

This campaign was played at the Adventurer's Academy in August, 2022.
