The Burnt World of Athas

The “A Day in the Life of…” series is a collection of short stories focusing on a single day in the lives of Athasians who rarely shape history. Not the heroes who challenge sorcerer-kings or unearth ancient relics, they are the countless others who scrape together ceramic bits through toil and cunning. Told through their eyes, these stories breathe life into Athas, highlighting the constant daily struggle endured by the common folk.

This installment follows a day in the life of the exiled artist Azimanh.
