Tucked deep in the perfumed heart of Little Calimshan, the Oasis Theater is Baldur’s Gate’s most extravagant venue for theatrical wonder. Overseen by the flamboyant Jonas Goodnight—whose fashion choices rival his dramatic vision—the Oasis offers nightly performances that blur the line between arcane illusion and physical daring. Known citywide for its jaw-dropping displays, the theater features trained monsters, pyrotechnics, and magical scenery that shifts before the audience’s eyes. Patrons from all walks of life, from Lower City pickpockets to Upper City nobles in disguise, flock to the Oasis to escape the gloom of Baldur’s Gate for a few brilliant hours. No two performances are alike, and whispers persist that Jonas employs secretive spellcasters and even planar beings to enhance the drama.

The Oasis stands out like a jeweled mirage amid Little Calimshan’s winding alleys and spice-scented bazaars. Its façade shimmers with enchanted mosaic tiles that ripple with movement—depicting dancers, fires, and stars in endless loops. Ornate minarets rise above a domed copper roof that catches the dusk light like a blazing ember. Velvet curtains in jewel tones part to reveal a massive amphitheater lit by floating glass lanterns and dancing flames. The scent of exotic incense mingles with roasted nuts and sweat from the crowd. Inside, the air hums with tension and magic; the stage is a rotating platform flanked by flying riggings, flame jets, and illusion-weaving chandeliers. Murmurs die down as Jonas Goodnight appears in glittering silks to welcome the enraptured audience.
