An Oasis in Anauroch
An Oasis in Anauroch brings a pinch of the Arabian Nights¸ mixed with a dash of A Fistful of Dollars ¸ to the Forgotten Realms! Mizar is an oasis town on the Black Road¸ the main caravan route crossing the desert waste of Anauroch. It has prospered thanks to its spring water¸ which is reputed to have magical properties and commands a hefty price. However¸ rival gangs are feuding over who should control revenue from the spring¸ and their war threatens to wreck the town. To Make the situation even worse¸ the spring is also a portal to the Plane of Water¸ and powerful elementals lurk deep down¸ waiting for a chance to strike at the foolish humans who think they own it. Throw in an efreeti and a djinni who are the best of frenemies¸ and An Oasis in Anaurochs is our wildest Places by the Way module yet! Places by the Way is a series of short modules created by veteran RPG writer and developer Douglas Sun for use with Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition. Think of them as glittering mosaic tiles that you can drop into a campaign to provide your player characters with diverting side quests and memorable interludes while they follow the overall story arc. After all¸ a great campaign world is one in which memorable experiences can be had even in places found by the way.
