Garden of a Thousand Roses

Resting at the heart of the Palace of Radiant Gardens in Hollow Bastion, the Garden of a Thousand Roses was the most splendid of all such places within the palace. It was the personal refuge of the Lady of the Bastion, and as such, only a handful of people were ever permitted to walk amongst its flowers; only those who were closest to Her, such as her Lord Tahran, Prince Ansem Orphaeus, and so on.

Today it lies a broken, shattered ruin, a dark, deathly husk of the majestic sanctuary it once was, perhaps a symbol of the fall of the Goddess Herself, and was the first place in the Bastion to experience the strange decay that has gripped the area since the War began. It was personally destroyed by The Superior on the night of the Palace coup in a singular act of vengeful desecration. What could drive such a wantonly cruel act stands as perhaps one of the greatest of mysteries behind a man brimming with them.
