Dark Sun Novels

[Jhaelen]

The Prism Pentad, while not exceptionally well written, does portray Athas extremely well - as good as if not better than the game material.

This.

The storyline doesn't need to have ANY impact on your campaign. One of the first things I decided for my 2E campaign was that Kalak would not be killed by Rikus.

It's true, though, that what killed 2E Darksun for me was in part the discontinued product support for the original setting AND the terrible new psionic combat system.
