Athas is a world where water is currency, metal is rare enough to be a plot point, and the sorcerer-kings have been in charge long enough that nobody remembers an alternative. SSI built two games in it: Shattered Lands (1993), where escaped slaves turn into a rebellion, and Wake of the Ravager (1994), which sends the same party on toward Ur Draxa and the Dragon.

Both use a tactical turn-based engine with a party system that carries characters across the two titles, which makes them an interesting restoration target: the save format has to survive the jump as well.

Work is queued, not started. The GOG bundle ships both games and will be the supported source of assets.
