For example if the gods of magic lost their divine powers then the consequences would be serious. Now the Krynnian deities are inmortal humans and theorically only the clerics of the godking could cast divine magic. Other idea to create an alternate version of Athas is an almost dessert plane where the biopunk ( living machines) work and it is the "home" of several Hasbro franchises: Transformers, M.A.S.K, Robotix, Visionaries and even the forgotten Inhumanoids. Also we could add a reimagination of Golden-Girl and the Guardians of the Gemstones.* The DS franchise has two parts, the TTRPG and the metaplot established in the PP novels. The priting of new novels shouldn't be too complicate but we need good writters for a good story and this is the key. The best writters would rather to create their own franchises when they have total control. And the TTRPG can be radically different in each tabletop, not only because the list of banned or allowed PC species&classes isn't the same but because the PCs will be who defeat the sorcerer-kings and then the continuity can't be like in the PP novels.* What happened in the Athaspace before the age of the sorcerer-kings? * Clerics of the cults of ancestors should be possible in DS, for gameplay effects they would work as necromancers.*  Were the "Seven Kings" from the folklore tales "real" characters? Were three suns in the Athaspace? Could the "King Snakewing" be a possible antagonist? If this was possible, was he hidden because he is weaker than Borys the dragon?* What if the Brown-Tide was caused intentionally by an Athasian god to punish mortals who had stopped to worship deities? And it wasn't the rest of gods' fault but when the Athasians used the pristine tower instead asking help to gods then these felt betrayed. The Athasian gods knews thanks their prophetic gifts what the cleasing war was to happen and then they warned, but only the true believers could escape toward astral domains. The rest of Athasians were cursed with a punishment, they would reincanate into Athas time after time but their souls wouldn't arrive to the Upper Planes until they recovered their faith in the Athasian gods.Or the Pristine Tower was sabotaged by the "two-fallen-sun" to take revenge, and the energy used against the Brown Tide was drained from the Sun God, and this was a sacrilege for the Athasian gods. Athas was saved but the Sun god became catatonic or like this. And spiritual powers from other plane could travel to Athas to create new cults working like living vortices to allow casting divine magic to their clerics. Some "living vortices" were special lineages of planar dragons who learnt to use divine or primal magic instead arcane.</blockquote>
