Behind the freehold stretches a delightful green garden…
Stone paths twist around the cacophony of delicately manicured flowerbeds and wild explosions of roses. A small stand of willows bends to touch the surface of a clear pond where brightly colored fish occasionally break its still mirror.
No map exists of the Garden paths, as they seem to be nebulous and changing. That some of them lead to trods, is certain. Another trail appears to disappear into a dark wood, if ones dares travel far enough from the door back to the Freehold. Other elements appear and change over time – the pond, once small affair boasting a modest fountain, now is spreading and dark, with hidden depths that may not have ever been explored. Trees have encroached on once carefully manicured paths, growing such odd fruit as hammocks and treehouses.
Visitors into the garden will also feel the touch of the Dreaming – leaves are a little bit greener, the sky an extraordinary azure blue, the trickling of water like silvery bells. Faint rustles in the bushes are heard, and chimerical visitors are common.
Out in the garden, the Freehold prohibition against the Gift of Pan is lifted, and duels may also be held. Indeed, when a pair of combatants with fire in their eyes step out onto the pebbled pathways, they may well find that a clearing appears just around the corner – level ground and clearly visible.
Only fae or their Enchanted guests can find their way through the doorways into the garden.
