The Silver Hands elf tribe controls Silver Spring Oasis, located along the trade road between Tyr and Urik. Unlike typical elf tribes, the Silver Hands have decided to settle down and establish a small village. There’s nothing silver about the oasis, however, with the exception of the coins in the elf chief’s coffers. The water is foul- tasting and cloudy, but it is safe to drink and the nearby trees offer some shade from the relentless sun.
The fortified compound around the oasis is controlled by the tribe’s chief, Toramund. For the price of two pieces of silver, visitors are admitted into the stone walls where they receive access to the small pond of bad-tasting water. The elves also maintain a small market inside the compound.
