Possibly unique on Athas, the so-called Lost Oasis features a natural geyser that periodically shoots scalding water to the surface. Despite its high mineral content, the steaming water nourishes a grove of trees, perhaps with the help of the thri-kreen druid Durwadala, who claims Lost Oasis as her home. Travelers who are allowed by Durwadala to enter Lost Oasis never see her, and those she determines to be enemies of life (such as defilers, aberrant creatures, and templars) are slain. How she manages this feat is a mystery. Either Durwadala is especially powerful or, as has been reported by raiders, the druid is linked to the geyser in some way, using it to ambush intruders with blasts of scalding water.
