Golden Oasis (Osirion)
- For another meaning of "Golden Oasis", please see Golden Oasis (Katapesh).
The great Golden Oasis in Osirion is located in the middle of the northern Osirian Desert. It is a lotus-blossom-shaped series of lakes fed by submerged springs. The oasis provides enough water to supply the city of Shiman-Sekh, situated just west of the oasis. It is also a natural habitat for many migratory birds and a number of farmers work its fertile land. The strangely regular shapes of its lakes cause many scholars to assume they have magical origins.1
The Labyrinth of Shiman-Sekh, associated with Pharaoh An-Hepsu XI, was discovered in 4688 AR beneath the topsoil of the Golden Oasis.2 Soon after its discovery, it was re-sealed by order of the Ruby Prince and it is protected by a Risen Guard contingent.3
