I was talking about Eastern Thanalan, hence my comments about Drybone and rain. xP There's a small, likely ephemeral watering hole there, but that's about it. The greenery around the goobbue is all new and brought by the goobbue. Things start to transition once you cross Highbridge, but everything west of that is very New Mexico-y. That doesn't mean it can't support life, and during the rainy season the whole land will be transformed. And of course, wherever you have water (there is a river running through central Thanalan), you will have a concentration of life. Hence, the plantation.
Eh, if we're going to go into that, SE's way of treating rivers makes no sense anyway. Â There's a pretty hefty stream/brook outside of Forgotten Springs with 0 greenery around it. Â It's basically water randomly running through sand for no discernible reason.
