Chronicle
Majestic Garden is situated on the subcontinent of Verdant Heights. It takes its name from the beautiful gardens near the ancient capital of Matia. These gardens were elaborated under the reign of King Noblis and constituted one of the wonders of the ancient world. After two years of Prime Roots confinement, it was no wonder that Majestic Garden were the first words that came into King Yasson's head on beholding the enchanted forest likened to that of his cherished homelands.
The new capital was soon established and named after the new born Matis Prince, Yrkanis, as a symbol of renaissance. Added to this came the villages of Davae, Natae and Avalae, named after the first three female babies born in the Matis colony of the Verdant Heights. The region also shelters a single outpost aptly named Psykopla Knoll Trading Post.
Years of Matis presence has made this forest one of the safest on Atys, safe enough for the novice to begin to cut his or her teeth. That said, Majestic Garden harbors a host of potentially dangerous animals including the ragus, yubo, bodoc, capryni and the gingo. The only species of Kitin present in the region is the kipee, a peaceful herbivore which can be observed munching away at the lush vegetation. Among the flora, the most spectacular is the gathering of psykopla plants clustered on a mound and bound to intrigue the inquisitive eye.
Another interesting feature is the arena where homins come to match their might and wit, and near which the merchant tribe of the Green Seed (the only tribe in the region) often sets up camp.
Being one of the first regions of the newfound lands to be cleared, Majestic Garden benefits from a judicious network of bollards that sprout from the ground. These bollards mark the way between town and village allowing the wayward traveler to quickly pick up the lost track.
Altars of the venerated Karavan will be found inside towns and villages. Kamis have a single altar established outside the capital.

Rite
The Actors
- Cicho Trivaldo: Bartender, Libia Ward, Yrkanis, Majestic Garden.
- Sicha Pelli : Prospector, Majestic Garden. (wandering, mostly southwest of the Karavan temple, northwest of the Green Seeds, but may go as far as the vicinity of Natae).
The Mission
- ― Cicho Trivaldo : Come now, friend, would you be interested in the natural wealth of the region? It is said that by knowing certain particular deposits, you may improve your extraction techniques .
If you're game, you should go and speak to Sicha Pelli on my behalf. She's a prospector and you will find her somewhere in Majestic Garden.
- ― Sicha Pelli : So that wily wombai Cicho Trivaldo sent you, did he? Well, I do indeed know a technique that can improve your focus...
But before I show you, you first have to get to know the region in all its delights so you can actually grasp the wisdom of my teachings. There's a very special deposit which is only available under special circumstances !
Here's a pendant which contains a magic crystal. If the rays of the setting sun fall on it, it will shed light on the place where the deposit is.
But beware, the illumination will only last a short time before the magic of the crystal disappears. I can always enchant it again, but I won't be taken for granted, you hear!
Right, lastly, bear in mind that the enchantment will only work if you're on top of the big hill situated to the north of the Matis Arena, and only with rays of the setting sun!
- [Take the pendant and climb to the top of the big hill to the north of Matis Arena at sunset.]
(The pendant must be worn as jewellery.) ( 18-22h )
- [Go to the place indicated by the pendant and collect:
- - 2 Medium quality Peppery Aromatic Plant, of at least quality 20
- - 1 Medium sample / Kitin Saliva, of at least quality 20
- - 3 Excellent Amber / Beng of Forests, of at least quality 20.
- [Go to the place indicated by the pendant and collect:
22h : The magic of the crystal has faded away and its sparkle has been extinguished.
Fail :Success :
- [Take the pendant back to the prospector for it to be enchanted again.]
- ― Sicha Pelli : So, you've spent all the magic of the pendant before you managed to do any foraging? Well alright, I'll enchant the crystal anew so you can try again.
- [Take the resources back to Sicha Pelli.]
- ― Sicha Pelli : Bravo, you did it! It was when I was guided by the sparkle of the crystal that I too found the way to improve my concentration. You are worthy of my teaching and of this cube of amber which bears knowledge about the region.
