You just have to lean hard into the ''oppose the systemic oppression trope''. Dont play on the grey morality, grimdark edgyness. No. You are a big damn hero (yet fallible), a point of light in a dark place, an eco-warrior Conan. Then, hot take, you go hard on the exploration rules. Screw the corrupted cities; they are the enemies. You venture into the waste to find a way to revive your world from the brink of ecological collapse, somehow. You'll most likely fail, but this is the only hope to break the grasp of the Kings on your society. Oh, and Muls breed true, but it doesnt mean the horrible Kings to have their own mul-ranch to bolster their armies. They are monsters, after all (the Kings, not the Muls).  I think the only thing that would be lost is the Corrupting magic for the players. I keep it as a evil-NPC template. Bref...the themes are:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Opposition to systemic oppressions</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Ecological awareness</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Exploration adventures (think M.E: Andromeda)</li> </ul>That would sell to the new generations of fans that werent even born when the old-school, sword-and-sandal, Darksun was ''a thing''.</blockquote>
