Oasis

Throughout the vast deserts and sun-scorched plains of southern Middle-earth, oases were lifelines of water, shelter, and refuge. Scattered across lands of Harad, Khand, and Rhûn, these rare sanctuaries were the hearts of trade, warfare, and legend, shaping the fates of travelers, nomads, and warriors alike. Often shrouded in mystery, many oases were believed to hold ancient ruins, hidden treasures, and the remnants of lost civilizations, playing a crucial role in the histories of the Haradrim, Variags, Easterlings, and even the Dúnedain of old.
