built 634 days ago
The town of Oberon is 180 kilometres and under three hours drive from Sydney and situated on the western fail of the Great Dividing Range. At 1,113 metres above sea level, it enjoys cool summers, balmy autumns, cold crisp winters and lush springs. Oberon was proclaimed a village in 1863. The name Oberon comes from Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'. Oberon has grown to a shire population of 5,000 - of whom 2,700 live in the town.

In many campaign settings Oberon is the fey deity of nature, wild places, and animals. Oberon is the consort of Titania and a member of her Seelie Court. These deities are taken from English folklore, where Oberon (Auberon) and his wife Titania rule over the fairies (e.g., Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream). The medieval concept of the character Oberon arose from a multitude of earlier sources like dwarf sorcerer Alberich from Nibelungenlied.

Oberon appears only in the David Lynch film, Dune, and in the Dune card game, and is therefore considered to be non-canon. In the film, he is never referred to as Oberon, only as a Third Stage Guild Navigator, but in the card game his name is established as being Oberon, presumably a take on the name of a character in Shakespeare's play, A Midsummer Night's Dream. The card game ... established that he spent most of his time on Tupile. In the film, Oberon is portrayed by a huge flexible puppet, which was created by Carlo Rambaldi and painted by Luigi Rochette, that enters into the Golden Lion Throne Room in a huge black Navigator Tank, and then emerges from the gas within. The effect is perhaps the most memorable in the film.
