A giant black spot on every map, the Dead Lands have long been known as the most forbidding place any living being can visit. To go there is suicide.

Or is it?

Those few powerful and foolish enough to visit the Dead Lands and survive the journey tell stories of complex power struggles, desperate escapes, and encounters that could change the face of Athas itself.

There are even stories of adventurers whose tales begin after they have already died …

Come explore the various regions of the Dead Lands on the ground as DMs and players with adventures catering to a wide range of levels.

Within this book you will find:

• 14 different adventures ranging from level 3 to level 18, with full stats for 3rd edition revised play. An additional list of adventure hooks is also included
• Numerous illustrations and maps providing details and insights into each of the myriad regions being visited across the Dead Lands
• Appendices providing rules for adventuring in the Dead Lands, including rules for making undead PCs (The Unbound)

The Dead Lands cover quite a large area, easily as big as the entire Tablelands. Secrets of the Dead Lands is part of a 4 part series of books meant to describe in detail not only the unique undead of Athas, but the ancient nations of countless undead lurking on the Obsidian Plains just to the south of the Endless Dunes. The four books in the series are divided by content:

1. Secrets of the Dead Lands (Available now) provides a sourcebook and history of the entire setting. This is where you’ll find most of the descriptions and explanations for the current state of the Dead Lands and its inhabitants.
2. Faces of the Dead Lands (Available now) provides the game rules, stats, and histories of all the NPCs mentioned in the other books. This also includes unique magic items and other major rules that might affect play.
3. Terrors of the Dead Lands (Available now) provides the rules for monsters and NPCs as they appear in the setting. Since this was released years before the rest of these books, there is an addendum section to this book which has been added to Faces of the Dead Lands at the end.
4. The Emissary (Available now) is the first introductory adventure set in the Dead Lands. Within you will find descriptions and stats for relevant NPCs relisted in their shortened form for efficiency.
