D6	This oasis's sand
1	is piezoluminescent crystal - whitish, with footprints left in it glowing.
2	is green, olivine, comprised of lava flows which eroded nearby.
3	is a brilliant pink, formed from an ancient coral reef which thrived in a prior eon when the region was a sea.
4	is a vivid orange, worn out from similarly-orange limestone deposits in the area.
5	is a deep red thanks to its iron content.
6	is a shimmering black due to its mafic origin.

D6	This oasis's water
1	is muddy, home to mites, worms, and brine shrimp - it needs to be filtered before it can be comfortably consumed by humans.
2	is clear as fine glass - sometimes appearing to not really be there at all.
3	is chartreuse and lively, full of flitting fishlets and wavering seagrass.
4	is dark as night, and goes way, way down.
5	is tinged scarlet with algae, and bitter on the tongue.
6	is turbulent, constantly spritzing from pores in the earth - toothsome bivalves clamp away at the nutritious detritus thus stirred up, and are pried in turn by strong-beaked ibises.

D6	This oasis has
1	a ring of stelae carved by inhuman hands - even through the wearing of time, their claw-marks are still visible.
2	a grove of fig trees growing on its shore - some of the fruit hosting deadly fig-wasps.
3	the ruins of a caravanaserai eroding beside it - the walls still good for shelter against the wind, but who knows what else might be sharing them.
4	the fossilized hulk of an ancient war-ship lying just beneath its surface.
5	a pair of hump-like hills marking its northern end.
6	a little island in the middle of it, with a giant palm tree on it - & that palm tree has a tower carved up in a spiral through its bark, up to its canopy, where a reclusive wizard dwells in a hut made from a giant coconut.

D6	This oasis is known
1	to be haunted by the ghosts of a pair of runaway lovers who committed a lovers' suicide in its waters.
2	from a popular folk-song which uses it as an erotic symbol.
3	as a sanctuary where enemies must not spill each other's blood.
4	as the site of the last stand of a group of pagans.
5	as a remnant of a once-larger and more hospitable body of water.
6	as a key point along a once-prosperous trade route - shifting political and environmental factors made another way more lucrative.

D6	A hazard of this oasis
1	is a canny old crocodile who extorts passers-by in exchange for not eating them.
2	is a pack of jackalweres that use the place as a hideout when the heat gets to be too much elsewhere.
3	is a huge enemy crab hibernating beneath its waters - sufficient agitation will wake it to a rage.
4	is a clutch of sea-urchins, but they're more like oasis-urchins, and also they can fly around and shoot their envenomed spines like arrows.
5	is a half-buried brazen lamp, the vacation home of a very lazy and nearly-senile genie - he will fulfill anything vaguely worded like a wish spoken within earshot in a half-assed, possibly hazardous, manner.
6	is the idol of a thankfully-destroyed cult half-buried nearby - its malign power infects the dreams of those who sleep nearby.

D6	This oasis is frequented
1	by a clan of giant snail-riding slowmads, whose passage through time is as slow as the pace of their mounts, making them long-lived and tougher than stone.
2	by strands of pilgrims on their way to a holy site.
3	by a circle of politically-problematic poets and philosophers who use it as an inspirational retreat.
4	by warrior-renunciates who gather here to test their martial and theological attainments against each other.
5	by a wealthy and eccentric camel merchant who comes here to get away from his nagging wife.
6	only by those who bear a special sort of compass which holds water drawn from the oasis - it is enchanted such that no one else can find it.
