The Ogre's Oasis

The Ogre's Oasis is a death trap located in the northern Darama Desert. Akin to its name, this oasis is a plentiful respite... for these very angry viscious black desert ogres. Though they typically lie dormant during the day, the ogres organize themselves at this oasis and spread from it in the evening to hunt. It is noteworthy that they hunt at night because of the cool temperature, but are often hindered by their poor eyesight. Locals refer to full moons as "The Ogre's Pupil", because travelling on such a night drastically increases their visibility. Travellers who have not heard of this notorious oasis have been known to gather to the oasis during the day (Unaware that the local hills in the area are simply sleeping ogres, who have been covered by sand thanks to the constant winds). Particularly observant travellers may notice the spilt blood around Lake Inadvere, or the femurs and skulls of past visitors, hung lovingly in the nearby palm trees. Some travellers lucky enough to get to the lake without waking the ogre's have sworn to have seen within the lake a deep cavern, half filled with gold and treasure, gathered throughout the millennia.

Some have even said to have seen a rare weapon, glistening with power at the peak of the pile, though its exact form remains undetermined.

Should you ever come upon the Ogre's Oasis, simply turn around. Death by dehydration is a merciful end by comparison.

FUN FACT: There is rumored to be a citizen in Darashia who claims to be an "Ogre Charmer" with the aid of her magical flute skills, though none have yet been able to reach an agreement with her in exchange for her help.
