Sawiya Oasis

The Sawiya Oasis (alternatively spelled Sawiyah, and also known as New Rosaria) is the largest oasis in the Ashuran Desert. Located in central Ashura, it has been the home of multiple settlements throughout history. 
The oasis' current settlement was founded by former Viodoxan squatters who converted to Twin Dragon at the behest of Aurlûnor's chancellor Mao Meili when the region was part of the old Aurlûnoren province of Erúme. 
In the past, a squatter tribe known as the Raktroki occupied the oasis. The tribe was forcibly disbanded, and the fort demolished, following the Battle of Sawiya Oasis in the Fifth Barbarian Rally. Prior to that, it was a resting point for pastoralist Dune Elf tribes.
The oasis is also the namesake of the Dracian-aged Sawiya Formation, one of Rathnir's most prolific fossil beds for finding the remains of dinosaurs and other extinct creatures.
