Topic: The Garden ((Setting))

A Fox Mask

Date: 2009-01-18 06:29 EST
There is a place within a place, a realm within a realm, a path that twists within this land of so many twisted paths that chosen few will find themselves in if they so wish it.

It is a garden of forever summer. Not quite the height of summer when the heat becomes oppressive and cloths stick; just before fall when the sun still warms the face and all the flowers appear to quiver and bloom for one last show before the frost.

The sun is always bright and yellow, the sky is riotous blue with hardly a cloud and the only way one can find themselves here is if...it finds them.

This is where Ran, ((A Fox Mask)) lives.

Who can role play in the Garden Setting?
Anyone Ran has role played with before and has mentioned the Garden to.


How can my character find the garden?
The garden finds your character :) All your character needs to do is want to find it. Much like some characters first stumbling into Rhydin, you could have your character walking along a road one day and simply finding themselves in Ran's garden, or they could be in the middle of a fight, they could step through a door, touch a wall, break a fairy ring. It's always up to you, the player, and how you think your character would best find it!

Can my character bring whomever they want into the garden too?
They can!

Can the garden be destroyed?
The flowers and plants within the garden can be cut, broken, trampled, burnt, dug up and otherwise interacted with as one sees fit. The garden, like the Red Dragon Inn however, cannot be utterly destroyed. It is a pocket realm of sorts continuously in a state of regrowth and life. What is destroyed one day will recover eventually in a few weeks or months.

What sort of plants can be found in the garden?
It's been said the type of plants and fruit found within the garden occasionally reflect those who visit. For Ran, it is a garden filled with bamboo, lotus, and weeping willow. What do you think your character will find?

How does my character leave the garden?
As all your character has to do to visit the Garden is to wish to be there, all one has to do to leave is wish to be elsewhere.

The Garden has a unique sense of humor however and may not deposit your character exactly where he or she wishes to be.

Will my character be able to meet/play with Ran when in the garden?
Of course :)
