What You See
Deserts are always dry, but among the naturally formed deserts of the Realms (in other words not counting Anauroch, the Plains of Purple Dust, or Raurin) the Quoya is the driest. This picture shows what might be a sandy area near the Arundi River.
The Namib Desert... aka the Quoya Desert?
This picture is courtesy of the wikipedia article on the Namib Desert. Specifically, this is Sossusvlei, a tourist destination. This is not an oasis… the salt/clay pan is (occasionally) filled by a nearby stream during summer rains.
