The Shady Oasis
Nestled amidst a grove of luminous spirit trees, the Shady Oasis appears like a desert mirage in the parched trading quarter. It lures travelers in greedily with promised refreshment. The exterior looks cobbled together haphazardly from an old spelljammer hull and whatever scrap could be scavenged nearby, giving it an aura of impermanence. Yet locals know not to judge solely on exterior.
Step through the beaded curtain doorway into a verdant interior space defying the arid climate outside. Lush imported foliage and flowering vines from across the spheres mingle and climb the inside walls. A golden moted illusion of a waterfall runs down the back wall, while aquariums holding planar fish line the bar top lit internally with flickering radiance.
The bar is always busy with chatter, music, and laughter emanating from a lively mix of local spacefarers and traders making port. Behind the taps dances the ever smiling, barrel-bellied half-elf owner Khalid - pouring drinks merrily and keeping the atmosphere infectiously upbeat. The menu changes constantly, but always offers succulent fare...and many regulars despite few knowing exactly where it comes from. A perfect oasis indeed for gathering rumors, securing discreet cargo, or simply enjoying an escape from worldly worries.
