When ever I get a creative idea for a gaming world, I write it down. Here will post my notes for worlds pertaining to Dark Sun. I may or may not work on the further. However, a good idea is a good idea.

Feel free to discuss any aspect.

Cleric-States

In summery
In a far off region of Athas, lay four towns. Each town is devoted to a particular element. They are Air, Earth, Fire & Water. Each element is not worshipped as the element itself, but rather having a divine aspect to it. Each element is a god to these people with a name.

Races
There are not as many races out here as in the Tyr Region.

Humans
Elves
Dwarves
Aarakocra
Pterrans
Gith

Humans
Have lighter skin that those in the Tyr region and have darker hair and eyes.

Language; All speak a different version of common. The dwarves do not have a language of their own. Elves usually prefer to speak common and only a few remember elvish. Gith is also a popular language, but it has not writen form. Common's writen form is in hieroglyphs.

City of Air
City of Earth
City of Fire
City of Water
Druid City

Air Cleric
City is built into the side of a canyon/mesa.
They have gliders and balloons.
Air Merchants who travel by blimp.

Earth Cleric
City is underground, with silts dug in for light. Crops are grown on the surface.
Many dwarves
Since the city is underground, it is cooler down there.
Have a metal mine.
Are on good terms with the Fire Town.

Blacken their faces with ash.

Druid City
Worship a God that they say gives the their powers.
Near a small and dry forest.

The Giants
Sometime ago, a tribe of giants came to a town and demanded they be worshipped as gods, or they were going to smash the town. The town had no choice but to take in the giants and worship them.
