[QUOTE="D.Shaffer, post: 4893925, member: 8918"] Nature is always going to be there so long as life still exists. It might be a twisted mockery of what existed before hand, but you're still going to have ecosystems and cycles that happen in somewhat predictable cycles. Nature still exists because of this and so the archetype of an exaggerated version of the land is still a valid one. As for the actual argument itself, how is this different from arguing against the Feywild in ANY setting? There's just as valid a reason to have the Feywild in Athas as it is in any other setting. As is, one reason I can think of off the top of my head is that it offers you a way to have those really big, wierd bits of landscape/weather that would be odd even for Athas. Sandstorms are not an uncommon occurence in Athas, but ones that blot out the sun for days, sucking all the moisture out of anything it encounters like some living terrible thing? That's an exaggeration of 'normal' that would apply to the Feywild. Do you NEED it? Probably not, but I think it would make an interesting and easilly placed addition to Dark Sun as is. Eh, not really. Remember that to some of us, the feywild is an exageration of what already exists. The Athasian feywild is thus going to be an exagerated version of what's mostly desert. There would be a feywild equivalent of the jungle too [/QUOTE]
