Collectors arcana: The new boxed format contained two spiral-bound flipbooks, one for DM and one for the players. The flipbooks contained the adventure data plus interior art. The outer boxes soon proved to be too weak to support their contents in everyday life of a gamer. Most available used copies are smashed or have tears. This is true with most shrinkwrapped copies, too. Clarify the condition of the outer box before purchase or bidding with the seller when purchasing used copies of Dark Sun adventure boxes.

"Enter the ancient and corrupt city of Tyr, whose tyrannical sorcerer-king has ruled for a millennium. As you wander the city, from the wreck of the elven warrens to the sanguine splendor of the arena, you realize that the citizens of Tyr thirst less for water than they do for freedom.
Now, after a century of slave labor, sorcerer king Kalak's great ziggurat nears completion. He has promised the city a grand celebration when the monument is done, complete with the most brutal arena spectacle: some believe it will bring with the longed-for manumission of countless slaves; others fear the annihilation of Tyr and her people as a sacrifice to Kalak's hunger for power; and a secret few believe it will be a day of revolution — a day of freedom!
Designed for four to seven players of starting levels, the DM's Book and Player's Book inside this pack provide the DARK SUN™ game DMs with a campaign base in Tyr, and give PCs a brutal introduction to Athas
