The Crystal Oasis is an area in the Crystal Desert, and the first zone accessible in the Path of Fire expansion. Major landmarks include the Free City of Amnoon and the Temple of Kormir.

The Free City of Amnoon is a port town that was once called The Amnoon Oasis. Previously a tiny town that was the last refuge for adventurers before heading into the Crystal Desert, it is now situated near the base of the redirected Elon River before it flows into the Sea of Elon and has become a large, bustling Elonian city. It was rebuilt by Corsairs as a city for Elonians that wished to live freely from Palawa Joko's empire. Ever since Joko's rise, defectors that manage to escape his walled empire have fled here to Amnoon.

Over the past ten years, the citizens of Amnoon had issues with Branded to their north, but with Kralkatorrik moving southeast, the Branded began passing closer to them. The new Forged and now-fanatical Zaishen Order have also been bringing up troubles for them, as well.

The Temple of Kormir is a point of interest located in Elona Reach in the Crystal Oasis. It is a temple devoted to worshipping Kormir, the goddess of truth. She is the newest of the Six Gods, having risen to power in 1075 AE upon the defeat of the fallen god Abaddon. As a relatively new god to the human pantheon, many ancient records will not mention Kormir at all, except for those that have been revised or written after her ascension. In the present day the Church of Kormir worships the Goddess of Truth.

"And so it came to pass that Spearmarshal Kormir, hero of all Elona, was pulled into the inky blackness surrounding the God of Secrets. And though her sight had been robbed, her body wracked, and her spirit flayed, she remained resolute.

And so was she joined within the Realm of Torment by fearless allies and great heroes, who stood at her side as she sought to thwart Nightfall. Together did they battle through Fear, and Anguish, and Madness, until at last they stood before the face of the imprisoned god; he who had challenged the Five and lost; he who threatened to break the chains placed upon him by the other gods; he who now sought to bring Nightfall to the world: the dark god, Abaddon.

And so did Kormir and her allies engage the dark god in titanic battle. And through her power, and their combined skill and bravery, and the blessings of the Five True Gods, did Abaddon at last face his ultimate defeat.

Yet the power of a god cannot be destroyed, and Kormir, making a choice that only a mortal could make, did take upon herself the mantle of the Goddess of Truth, with all its power and responsibility, all its dominion and duties.

And so by mortal hands did a new immortal enter creation."
