Shattered Lands is the first in a series of computer role-playing games based in the highly acclaimed AD&D 2nd Edition DARK SUN game world. You begin the game as a gladiator about to fight in King Tectuktitlay’s Arena in Draj. You must survive that fight, along with many others, and continue onward to escape from the Slave Pens. The Dark Sun world of Athas is arid and bleak, a wasteland with a handful of cities ruled by thousand-year-old sorcerer-kings. Your party begins as slaves in the city of Draj, destined to die as gladiators in the Arena. You must find a way to escape into the hostile wilderness, join with other escaped slaves and create a rebel force powerful enough to destroy the evil sorcerer-king's army.
