Please post any reference to DS you are aware of from any other campaign setting. I'm in the midst of combining all of my D&D PDFs from every setting(Basically everything 2e and 3.5 available in digital legit form) into a giant, searchable archive, and this thread should be packed. Planar connections is a great way to breathe life back into an older setting, so let's all combine our knowledge and do this! Include document and page numbers if you can.

Planescape boxed set, page 14. players guide to the planes.

Defilers and preservers from Athas (the DARK SUN
campaign world) have a special status. Fiends like the
destructive power of defilers, good beings hate it, and
the relationship’s just the opposite regarding preservers.
Most planars consider Athas’s elemental clerics
woefully ignorant of the realities of the multiverse.
Gladiators are just another type of fighter. Athasian
bards are the only bards well regarded on the Lower
Planes.

I think On Hallowed Ground (Planescape) had a reference along with Ravenloft. While not mentioned by name Sandstorm hinted at Darksun as well noting a world ravaged by magic. Its been years sorry.

Forgotten Realms,Vilhon Reach p.54 - a Kirre hunts goblinoids in a mountain range
No other Athas references in-game in Toril.
Al Qadim - a man named Athas al-Din is a prominent figure in Lost Tomb of Martek
Ravenloft -in Domains of Dread, Kalid-Ma(An athasian SK is the lord of Kalidnay.

Planescape has about twenty references I know of for certain, I'll detail them later.


-I just realized how to search my entire PDF library in a single window in Adobe 9. I should be able to log and document any references to Athas in just about any D&D product ever digitally released.
