Sheltered Oasis

Scattered cookfires sputter beneath the chill wind of the desert’s oppressive night. The oasis hosts many this eve, small groups huddled together in the shadow of towering dunes. The horseshoe-shaped freshwater lake reflects the stars above, glimmering like a pool of diamonds amid the surrounding sand that spans leagues in all directions. Light flickers from the red-roofed pagoda at the lake’s heart.

This night and day map depicts an oasis and pagoda sheltered by a massive, horseshoe sand dune cupping a freshwater seep lake. These features host a perennial campsite of travelers, peddlers, and wanderers.
