Third Dawn

From Dreamscarred Press comes a campaign setting based upon their expansions in the realms of psionics for the d20 system. They originally started coming out with products that added new races, psionic abilities, classes, and other items supporting psionics. These products expanded upon the limited material that was made official by Dungeon & Dragons. The only such campaign setting to ever include psionics officially had first been Dark Sun (Athas), and then Eberron.

Third Dawn, joins these worlds with introducing Ksaren. The world had suffered from a catastrophe known as "The Impact". It shattered and created the numerous island in the Impact Sea, cut off the world from the outer and inner planes, and destroyed all traces of magic.With the gods and magic gone, a new form of power began to fill this vacuum. Psionics began to emerge with in the populace, and within a few centuries God-Minds made an appearance providing a familiar structure with the absence of the gods. Likewise the nature of the undead has also changed, for no longer is the power of the negative energy involved.... but instead some sort of disease known as "The Black Plague". A deadly terror, given the fact that most undead share some unique immunities with the powers of the mind.

The world of Ksaren has three continents, only Femon and Tion still exist. The third was smashed with "The Impact". Almost all the familiar races and creatures are found here, but only those that seem to thrive in a psionic world. Some of the major powers in the world are found in both Femon, with the remnants of the Alyrian Empire, and Tion, with the growing Ophid Protecrate. Between them are a number of smaller countries and city states that farewell so far. Oddly enough the Elan seem to pose some sort of threat, but no one truly knows the depths of their plans.
