Olomaa was an artificially-created oasis utilized by the Zhentarim located in the Anauroch desert.[1][2]
Description[]
The oasis was splayed out over two hills and the valley that lay tween them. The Zhent's fortification at the oasis was rather bare-bones, consisting of a stone house, a small pasture, and a fountain for water. Their lone amenities came in the form of a handful of bathing pools.[1]
Geography[]
Olomaa was located in the northwestern stretch of the Sword, some ways southwest of the Dragon's Back Peaks.[3]
Geographical Features[]
The oasis was rich a variety of flora, including frankincense trees and other varieties that produced fruit.[1]
Defenses[]
Olomaa was encircled by trench that held a great number of enormous cacti that offered some natural protection from animals or outsiders. Hidden beneath the trench were a number of man-made traps involved blades that would spring out from beneath the sands when triggered.[1]
Inhabitants[]
Circa the mid–14th century DR, the camp at Olomaa was home to only a few Zhentilar warriors, a single priest of Cyric, and most notably, the beholder Xualahuu.[1][2]
