A fortified town stands at the oasis along the trade route between Tyr and Urik and is a preferred stop for many house merchants and dune traders. Silver Spring Oasis is a great walled square, with the central courtyard open to the elements, with many common rooms, sleeping chambers and vaults where dune traders can safeguard their merchandise. The proprietors are a tribe of elves called the Silver Hands, who are not nomadic, unlike others of their kind.
