Kaarina's Garden
Private area for GM Kaarina that is periodically available to players at the GM's discretion.
[Kaarina's Garden, Garden Clearing]
A half circle of geometrically arranged stones leads to a pergola, away from the small clearing. Thick moss and soft grass create a luxurious carpet of green life. Tiny purple flowers have found their way into the garden, growing together in heavy patches near the rim of a metal lined pool. The splashing sound of a waterfall beckons from nearby.
You also see an arching lilac moonsilver portal that gives off a soft glow and a deep blue blanket of soft velvet with silk tassels with a couple of things on it.
Obvious paths: none.

[Kaarina's Garden, Below the Waterfall]
A waterfall tumbles down an artful arrangement of moonsilver stones and rocks creating a pool filled with swirls and eddies at its base. Growing in small pockets of dirt hidden among the rocks are passionflowers, their vines twining up a Gor'Tog's height cascade of stones. Blooms of purple and red spring forth from the greenery, hanging from twisting creepers. The pool empties over a profusion of smooth pebbles into a babbling brook.
You also see a garden clearing.
Obvious paths: west.

[Kaarina's Garden, Under Pergola]
Golden sunlight and silver tinted water mix where the brook flows under the sandstone pergola. Hanging moss clings to the damp underside of the gently sloping arch, breaking the light into translucent beams. The moss glows a gleaming emerald in the light and adds its earthy scent to the breeze, mixing pleasantly with the crisp smell of the water that rushes past on its way west. Tiny white flowers peek out from cracks in the stone, soaking up the moist air.
Obvious exits: east, west.

[Kaarina's Garden, Brook]
The slowly moving water seems to have turned a liquid silver, an illusion created by the paving of the brook's bed with moonsilver. The shift from the rocks under the pergola to the empty curved metal is seamless. Nothing grows in the unadorned metal but the small fish that flit past and the lacy ferns that overhang the water fabricate an ever-changing pattern of shadows on the smooth underwater surface.
Obvious paths: east, southwest.
[Kaarina's Garden, Brook]
The moonsilver paving becomes a formation of bumps and waves beneath the glassy surface, suggesting movement in the metal. Schools of silver and gold fish flash in the light like carelessly strewn coins. An ancient weeping willow droops over the water, its delicate branches dipping their tips in with any passing breeze.
Obvious paths: northeast.
[Kaarina's Garden, Tree House]
A square platform holds this small tree house to the bent trunk of the ancient willow. Polished beams curve up to a pointed roof with wide eaves that help keep the rain from getting inside. A double set of curtains, one thick and one thin, falls from each side controlling the amount of light and wind.
Obvious exits: none.
[Kaarina's Garden, Pergola]
This shaded passageway is made up of sandstone pillars that support a lattice of cross beams, upon which a woody wisteria vine has just started to lay claim. The polished stone underfoot has been warmed by the daylight radiating down upon it. A few burgeoning flowers of lustrous purple hang down from the jumble of vines and leaves. Light spills into the area from a lush green clearing. You also see an archway.
Obvious exits: none.

[Kaarina's Garden, Pavilion]
Thin, curving pillars of grey sandstone stretch upward from the moss floor of this round pavilion. Sunlight trickles through the heavy green leaves of the wisteria vine, its thick branches twining about the structure giving the illusion of a roof and walls. The vines have cunningly been grown to create a curtain of leaves and bright purple flowers hiding about a third of the room from sight. An archway leads out onto the light dappled stone path of a pergola.
You also see a purple stone frog with a wide open mouth.
Obvious exits: none.
