Editing Cyllian:Blasted Lands (section)

== Oasis's ==

Oasis's are scattered throughout the Blasted Lands.  Some are on natural water springs, others on dammed rivers, or along the larger rivers.  Access and control of water is the central fact of all of these Oasis's.  Many are held by gifted men and women who sanctuary, or enslave, other humans up to the number that can be supported. Others have found or created a godling who they offer worship to in exchange for protection. Almost all of these Oasis's are full and regularly turn wandering bands of unfortunates away.  All of them are guarded, most walled, to protect themselves from desperate wandering bands.  The communities are largely self-sustaining, with enough water to both drink and to irrigate and produce crops.
