For the elven temple located in this region, see Solasan.

The Forbidden Oasis is a desert location located in the western parts of Orlais.

Background

The Forbidden Oasis lies in the northern stretches of the Western Approach. It contains ancient Elven and Tevinter ruins. Relatively recent history includes the arrival of the "Envers Mining Company" from Val Firmin, who set up shop in the region to mine Serpentstone and Paragon's Luster. The miners were eventually driven mad by the sinister magic that still lingers around the place.

Involvement

The Inquisition travels to the oasis after an auction yields a scroll indicating a connection between this place and the ocularum shards. To activate this war table operation one must first pick up any of the shards found throughout Orlais and Ferelden. After the Inquisition moves to Skyhold, the Venatori also search the oasis for ancient artifacts.
