Lamasara (La-ma-sa-ra)
The Desert Oasis, located to the south of the desert region. To the east of this area is the Zou Ruins.
As its name suggests, the Desert Oasis is an oasis located in the midst of the barren desert and serves as a resting place for weary travelers. Within the oasis is a strikingly large crystal, and on its banks are desert shrubs and palm trees. Only a few buildings and tent can be found here.
They are remnants of a once-prosperous city from the Dawn Age, however no one has been able to make their way inside. The Land travels upwards towards the heat and a mining outpost is left outside for hot metal and ores that reside within the desert's crust. Underground areas lead towards the darklands of the drow and their connecting tides.
It is a worthy place for long journeys underneath the deserts crust.
History
Lamasara is the third largest of Thuvia's five allied city states. Aristocrat Zamere, is known for her clever diplomacy.
Lamasara is famous for its performers and artisans. It is said that there is always music in the air, although the most well-known of its artists usually perform in whichever city is currently hosting the sun orchid elixir.
Among the notable buildings in the city is the Serene Spiral, Lamasara's majestic temple of Pharasma, Tukalo
As one of Thuvia's five city states, once every five years it is the city's turn to sell six vials of the prized sun orchid elixir to foreign bidders.
It typically guards its shipments of the elixir by using numerous decoy caravans to confuse would-be thieves.
