Waytravel to the Oasis of Thyestes
A
s you exit the waystation your senses are overwhelmed by delicious scents, vibrant colours, and melodious sounds like you have never experienced before. The market of the Oasis of Thyestes bustles with a variety of travelers and merchants, many that look completely alien. You see a humanoid wreathed in golden sunlight float past: an Alseid, the most common denizens of the city and the servants of its masters, the Thyestes Djinni family. Across the market the dusty buildings part, revealing a majestic view of the Oasis, verdant with swaying palms and lush tropical shrubs. Occasional flickers of lightning crackle across the sky, a reminder of the arcane shield that encapsulates the entire city.
