The King’s Gardens include three lushly wooded and overgrown plots of land. Walking amid these green canopies is like stepping into the fertile past of Athas. Lavish amounts of water from the Golden City’s wells and a small army of attentive gardeners keep these areas alive with growth despite the killing climate; Kalak ordered this done so that he would have a ready source of life for his defiling magic. With Kalak gone, the same gardeners—under the leadership of the Master of the Gardens, a half-elf templar named Dafna—continue to tend the botanical reserve because the gardens contain many rare trees, including a few said to be magical.
