Oasis
Template:Spoiler Template:Infobox Queen Oasis was the mother of Burn, Blister, Blaze, and Smolder, and the queen of the SandWings before her death by three scavengers who sought her treasure. The deceased queen was described as old, powerful, ruthless, fierce, canny, and proud. She is featured in the prologue of The Brightest Night.
Biography
Pre-Series
After Queen Oasis was killed by scavengers, her three daughters conflicted over who would be the next queen. Two years later, all of Pyrrhia (excluding the RainWings and NightWings) erupted into war.
Burn, the eldest, allied herself with the SkyWings and MudWings, while Blister, the middle sister, fought with SeaWings. (She later formed a secret alliance with the NightWings.) Blaze, the youngest, being the most popular queen with the SandWings, had many of her own tribe, as well as the IceWings on her side.
Although she is not alive during the period in which the main storyline of The Brightest Night takes place, the prologue is about the night the SandWing queen was killed by scavengers and follows Queen Oasis' point of view.
Oasis had mentioned that when Blister hatched, she was sure she was the one who would kill her to take the throne. Queen Oasis got along well with Burn, apart from Burn's obsession with "creepy things." Oasis describes Blaze as "dizzy" and "a terrible queen", but she was "an acceptable daughter."
Oasis never approved of Smolder, one of her sons, falling in love with Palm; Smolder revealed that he had no idea what Oasis did to her, but he never saw Palm again. Smolder also claims that "mother never let us have dragonets."
On the second day when Sunny was at Burn's Stronghold, Smolder exposed four large rooms to her. Those were rooms that contained the waves of treasure stolen from Queen Oasis. They attempted to discover how the three scavengers could've possibly carried this many minerals, but also discussed her death. He mentioned that they heard her roaring in the middle of the night, and when they hurried to see her, they found her dead. A scavenger-sized spear was in her eye, and her barb was cut off. They never found any remains of treasure, however there were venom drops in the scavenger's trail.
