I would love to have more information on Ul-athra please.  I would love to seen an article written up to help flesh out the information about Ul-athra and cults that have grown up around him/her/it.  The vision that the player experiences in Marauders of the Dune Sea isn't even enough for the player to know what kind of wyrm/wurm/worm Ul-athra is.  I've seen enough references to Dune in the Dark Sun forum about Ul-athra to make me  rather tired of imagining one of those sand worms cruising around athas with a crown on its head.  Obviously there has to be some humanoidish guise to make sense of the crown unless its not what we think it is.  Either way, I like the way that many of the articles have been lately, but really would like to see some more dark sun lovin...I kinda feel like this is a product whose (to use video gaming metaphors) seen its dlc content peter out in favor of essentials.  I like essentials, I just wonder if the team for DS has been put off working on those projects for now and how much we can expect to see in lore and content to fill out the DS world in 4e.  In some cases, we are able to take from the 2e books, but in some cases the changes are enough for instances such as Ul-athra who are made key to official adventures that I don't want to tinker with them when the stories are still in situ.
