Oasis

For the quest with the same name, see: Oasis (quest).

The Oasis is a place somewhere in the Capital Wasteland that is unusually full of trees and other green plants.

Location
Oasis is situated almost at the top center of the map, near the "Cliff Top Shacks" and directly NW of it by about one square. It is surrounded by steep cliffs, and can only be entered through a small gorge from the west.

It is possible to get the coordinates of the Oasis by killing the Drifter at Dickerson Tabernacle Chapel. There are also a pair of wandering wastelanders who will disclose the location, before attempting to kill the player.

History
Harold, a special FEV mutant with a tree on his head which he called Bob (and now calls Herbert because, "Bob hates it"), eventually found himself overwhelmed by it and became rooted to the ground during his travels in the Capital Wasteland region. Here he was discovered by several people who began to worship him as a god, and a small and exclusive cult known as the Treeminders began to form in secrecy. Bob began to blossom (which he apparently finds embarrassing) and many plants grew in this area, which became green with life, a stark contrast to the outer wasteland.

A Vault 101 Dweller arrived and was urged to talk to Harold. Harold revealed his true identity, and begged for mercy; after being stuck in the same position for decades he was eager for death. The other dwellers of "Oasis" ignored Harold's wishes so far, and asked the Vault 101 Dweller to instead either suppress or expand Harold/Bob's fertility.
