You stand within the oasis with life flourishing all around. Dates and figs hang ripe from the trees while colorful birds chirp away on the branches. Ferns, scrub brushes, and hearty tall grass is all around you. Evidence of humanity is everywhere. Clothes dripping from makeshift clothing lines while baskets of woven hemp scattered here and there filled with all manners of items. Sounds of people laughing and shouting can be heard coming from the south and west.
