If I am to play darksun I need to be an escaped slave, a former mul gladiator, an elven bard/assassin or a human of the veiled alliance. Archetypes (And themes manage them nicely) are what help tie your character to a setting.Edit: I am not suggesting that it is badwrongfun not to do so btw. Just that it would really help everyone in the table if the characters were in tune with the thematic elements of the setting since it would enhance the experience particularly for new players who can use a guide in adapting their characters to the reality of a setting like Dark Sun, which is quite different than your average medieval fantasy setting.</blockquote>
