Entrance to a Small Village
   To the east, a small dirt path leads to what appears to be a small fishing
or hunting village.  Crudely constructed huts seem to surround concentric paths
which branch out from the center of the village.  A single large path leads
east to west straight through the center of the small village.  Sharpened wood
stakes have been bound together with simple rope to form a defensive wall to
protect against invaders.  Four large wooden towers have been constructed at
the corners of the hamlet to provide advanced warning of incoming ships.
Obvious exits: -East  -West 

< 337h/337H 98v/145V Pos: standing >
Approaching a Large Double Gate
   Ahead, a large dominating wooden gate has been constructed to prevent entry
to any who would be a threat to the oasis village.  The gravel here has many
track marks from caravans that must, undoubtedly, be used to transport goods
between the docks and the village.  This small island cannot possibly provide
for the needs of this village alone, so hunters often have to leave in search
of food and supplies on some of the larger islands in the area.

You jump in surprise.. EEK! 

< 337h/337H 98v/145V Pos: standing >
Before the Gates of the Oasis Village
   The gates which stand here, tower to well over twenty feet high.  The
gates, which have been constructed from the trunks of mature trees from local
islands, are incredibly thick and heavy.  An intricate pully system has been
put in place to operate the large gate.  The people of this village may not be
as primitive as once thought.  Lookout slits have been cut into the heavy gate
to allow for the villagers to speak with outsiders who visit the island.  The
village gates have been opened ahead of time.  Either the village doesn't view
the party as a threat, or someone must wish to talk.  The village must not
get many visitors here, because the guards maintaining the gate eye strangers
with caution and disdain.
Obvious exits: -East  -West 

< 337h/337H 98v/145V Pos: standing >
Inside the Village
   To the west, the imposing gates of the oasis village stand ajar.  Guards
stand ready to operate the pully system to close the gates if the lookout
towers signal that a potential enemy may be approaching.  Women and children
wander about the village maintaining their daily activities.  They do,
however, occasionally glance at around with curiosity.  To the east, one of the
circular paths intersects the main road of the village.
Obvious exits: -East  -West

A Path Intersection
   Here, the main road of the village is intercepted by a smaller gravel path
which leads around the village to the north and south.  This outer path runs
parallel to the spiked wooden fence, and leads to the four large guard towers
which are found at the corners of the village.  This, the largest of the paths,
doesn't have much activity on it.  The most activity can be found nearer to the
center of the village, which lies to the east.
Obvious exits: -North -East  -South -West

On the Main Path of the Village
   This path has been worn over many decades of use.  This is the main artery
which connects the village commerce district from the docks which are found
west of the large gates on the shore.  Footprints and wagon grooves alike have
worn their way into the dirt.  To the east, the residential path can be seen,
and to the west, the large path which surrounds the village is found.  Further
away towards the east, a well built home dominates the center of the village.
Obvious exits: -East  -West

A Busy Village Intersection
   There is much activity at this junction.  Children run about at play, often
seen chasing the quick lizards which cohabitate the village.  Strong men help
to push large carts containing fruits and fish towards the town center.  A
smaller path branches off to the north and south from here, leading to a large
majority of the villagers homes.  To the east, the merchant district circle can
be seen.  All along this main path, tall torches have been set in the ground
for easy visibility at night.

supplemental paths, this one circles around the center giving a more uniform
feel than most cities offer.  In this village, almost everyone is treated

ideas in such a small outcropping.  The houses which are found along this path

   Although, the houses in this village are rather simple in design, their

   This simple, yet elegant bedroom would be fit for a king.  Fine satin bed
sheets were probably imported from the northern islands, and fine jodani wood
imported from Woodseer to create the beautiful beds that can be found here.

from all over the world can be found in some of the houses here.

On the Residential Path
   This smaller path leads to many of the villagers homes.  Like the other
supplemental paths, this one circles around the center giving a more uniform
feel than most cities offer.  In this village, almost everyone is treated
as equals.  There is no elitism here, and there is no need for capitalist
ideas in such a small outcropping.  The houses which are found along this path
are all quite similar in design and size.

   There is much activity at this junction.  Children run about at play, often
seen chasing the quick lizards which cohabitate the village.  Strong men help
to push large carts containing fruits and fish towards the town center.  A
smaller path branches off to the north and south from here, leading to a large
majority of the villagers homes.  To the east, the merchant district circle can
be seen.  All along this main path, tall torches have been set in the ground

   This path has been worn over many decades of use.  This is the main artery
which connects the village commerce district from the docks which are found
west of the large gates on the shore.  Footprints and wagon grooves alike have

parallel to the spiked wooden fence, and leads to the four large guard towers

stand ready to operate the pully system to close the gates if the lookout

however, occasionally glance at around with curiosity.  To the east, one of the

Before the Gates of the Oasis Village
   The gates which stand here, tower to well over twenty feet high.  The
gates, which have been constructed from the trunks of mature trees from local
islands, are incredibly thick and heavy.  An intricate pully system has been
put in place to operate the large gate.  The people of this village may not be
as primitive as once thought.  Lookout slits have been cut into the heavy gate
to allow for the villagers to speak with outsiders who visit the island.  The
village gates have been opened ahead of time.  Either the village doesn't view
the party as a threat, or someone must wish to talk.  The village must not
get many visitors here, because the guards maintaining the gate eye strangers
with caution and disdain.
