"All around us we saw tier on tier of lofty sand-hills, giving the lie to our quest, yet when, with a final desperate effort, we hoisted ourselves over the last ridge and looked down on what lay beyond, we saw the lake below, and its beauty was entrancing." - Mildred Cable with Francesca French, The Gobi Desert

Also known as Yueyaquan, you can find the Crescent Lake Oasis within China's Genshu province. The tiny lake spring fed lake is approximately 715ft (218m) long from east to west and 177ft (54m) wide from north to south. Some records indicate that it has served weary, thirsty desert travelers for the past 200 years.

One can easily imagine this place as a hidden, emerald jewel within the depths of the Red Desert that only a handful know the location of. It could be a secret monastery that houses an long forgotten heretical order whose Elder Mángai are guilty of great depths of evil nearly always visited upon unsuspecting and accidental visitors. Perhaps it is the home of a powerful Sirhibasi whose summoned servants terrify even the bravest desert raiders. Will she help you or feed you to foul things from the swirling hells? The small lake is an ideal place for skyships to land. It could be a neutral place among competing crystal corsairs and skypirates where they trade goods amongst themselves and select buyers who have come a very long way. Maybe this oasis is abandoned--empty not because of the Scourge or lesser scoundrels but for appetites of hungry ghosts. Can you find the source of the curse and free the truly lost souls before your flesh is devoured? Adventure, sorrow, and salvation await deep amongst the crimson dunes. What lays beyond?
