Forbidden Oasis

The Forbidden Oasis is a desert location located in the western part of Orlais.
== Background ==
The Forbidden Oasis contains ancient Elven and Tevinter ruins. Relatively recent history includes the arrival of the "Envers Mining Company" who predominantly mined Serpentstone and Paragon's Luster. The miners were eventually driven mad by the sinister magic that still lingers in the area.

== Notes ==
* If the Oasis is not scouted and explored prior to reaching Skyhold, Scout Harding will state: "I'm afraid we've arrived too late," referring to the Venatori that have set up camp at the temple entrance. As a result, the Inquisition will have to fight through them, in addition to local wildlife, Fade rifts, and a Giant, before reaching the temple. Harding's dialogue will also change regarding the temple, from stating "this place gives me the creeps," to, "Can't say, haven't been able to get close." The dialogue regarding the mining company remains the same.
* Defeating the small Venatori groups scattered around the area results in each time, if he is in the active party.
* The Forbidden Oasis is one of three areas that do not have a Resources war table operation, with the other two being the Storm Coast and Frostback Basin.
== Trivia ==
* Dorian mentions that the Forbidden Oasis area was called "Vina Hadalus" in Ancient Tevinter. He facetiously claims it means “the downy hairs upon your ass.”
* While traversing the area, Dorian asks "Do they have sand worms here? Giant sand worms? No?", referencing the Dune series.
== Bugs ==
* The Inscription in the Oasis Temple may keep popping up whenever Solas is joining or leaving the active party members. This may appears in any locations.
