Morran Outpost

The Morran Outpost is a desert oasis and waypoint located over a natural freshwater spring in the Gleaming Wastes.
The caves surrounding the spring are primarily managed by the local monastery. Traders offer goods and services to travelers, and a bargemaster provides transit to nearby cities via sand barge.
== Official Description ==
“Xetticus Morran founded this outpost about a century ago, using the oasis as a center to navigate the Shifting Wastes....He learned that, due to the very active winds, the dunes were ever-changing, so a traditional map doesn’t work. He and his companions devised a plan to create these obelisks that no matter what are always able to stay above the sand no matter how the dunes shift so travelers can always find their way through.”Beginnings Part 1.
== Background ==
Xetticus Morran and his companions established several wayfinding obelisks throughout the Wastes. These obelisks are inscribed with the cardinal directions, as well as directions to the Morran Outpost and other destinations.
== Xetticus Monastery ==
The Xetticus Monastery is located at the Morran Outpost. The acolytes of the monastery manage the surrounding caverns and aid travelers. They make pickled cactus and rare desert flower mead. The leader of the monastery is the Mentor Lanai.
According to Mentor Lanai, while the monastery had been there for a couple of centuries, it had previously taken many forms. At one time, it had been a center for great warriors.
The entrance to the tunnel system which leads to The Well is located in the monastery.
Through the many forms the monastery has taken, each leader has been charged with taking whoever brings the Valknut tablet to a chamber where they will be asked three questions.
There is a secret exit from the Outpost located in Mentor Lanai's quarters.
