During the wars, living weapons of mass destruction were common, like the so-uts: scorched earth weapons. Designed to destory the very things civilization needed: iron, buildings, writing even. Such weapons though, got out of control and some still exist.7) Defiling came about by a wizard with psionic power dablling in combing them, plus the attention of a major demon or deity who wanted to make Athas a wasteland.Becoming a Dragon was much akin to, but far worse than, becoming a death knight.hence, Athas is now roasting under a red giant sun, not an ordinary red giant, but a literally warped one, it's rays cause mutation.the Sorceror-Kings are not just "draconic humanoids", but nightmarish abominations, who's creation was originally touched by the hands of Orcus, Yeenoghu or some far worse thing.Works for me! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />The 1 and the Primeluvz the Spelljammer!! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
