Description: To the west of Barton Town lie the sculpted and
manicured Zen Gardens, tended by a family of resident botanists and
horticulturists. Koi ponds, bamboo trees and groves of lanterns
surround a central contemplation shrine. Famed throughout Gaia, these
Gardens are a well-loved tourist destination. The woods they border to
the west are dense thickets that few people have a reason to brave.
The road leading west is the way to Durem.
CL: 3/4 (crew recommended due to creature mobbing)
Map: link forthcoming
Notes: Drums beat all over the Northern area. Kokeshi Dolls
roam around the paths and their collectible counter parts hang out in
the Southeastern corner. Anywhere you see a Sakura tree you can
guarantee to find the Cherry Fluffs. And at night Ghost Lanterns come
out to light up the air and lick you to death.
