The Cursed Oasis was given it’s name by its inhabitants, a mix of races, in order to keep the oasis small and peaceful. There is no actual curse on the oasis, but the name helps to keep the village small. The village makes its own food, and has only a couple hundred people occupying it. Because the name keeps visitors away, they have no weapons and no defense, although the desert and the cursed name is enough to defend it.
