Tablelands

Overview[edit | edit source]

The Tablelands are the main setting of adventures and travel in the world of Athas. It covers about 260,000 km² (100,000 sq miles) and consists mostly of barren desert, arid badlands, with intermittent patches of mud, vegetation or forest.

Most of the population lives in the seven city-states. The rest live in scattered, isolated villages near oases and wells, or travel in nomadic tribes.

Location[edit | edit source]

The Tablelands are roughly bounded by the Sea of Silt to the east, the Hinterlands to the west, the Endless Sand Dunes to the south, and the city-states of Urik, Raam or Draj to the north.
