The Obsidian Oracle

Deep beneath the scorching wastelands of Athas, ancient powers stir as two bitter enemies find themselves locked in a deadly race for the same prize. Tithian of Tyr harbors ambitions of ascending to sorcerer-king status, while the aging Agis seeks to destroy the dreaded Dragon once and for all. Both require the legendary Dark Lens to achieve their goals, but their mutual hatred threatens to derail any hope of success. As they navigate treacherous alliances and face otherworldly dangers, the harsh desert world becomes a battlefield where magic, political intrigue, and personal vendettas collide with catastrophic potential.

Ray Porter delivers a commanding performance that brings Troy Denning's brutal fantasy landscape to vivid life. His nuanced characterizations distinguish between the calculating Tithian and the determined Agis, while his pacing builds tension through each confrontation and revelation. Porter's rich vocal range captures both the intimate character moments and the sweeping magical conflicts that define this Dark Sun adventure. The audio format enhances the immersive quality of Denning's world-building, allowing listeners to feel the oppressive heat and supernatural menace that permeate every scene.
