The Gardens
 This article contains spoilers! You have been warned. |
The preferred way of entering the Gardens is to use chalk to draw the picture of a door on a wall, and to write "Ynn, by way of [the current location]" on the door.
The Gardens are an endless maze that regenerates itself when no one is looking. If the player leave the Gardens, they will find them entirely different the next time they come back.
For the exploration part, the GM has to track how deep into the Gardens the player are. When they enter, they start at a depth of 0. From here, they can chose to explore for a location deeper into the Gardens (adding 1 to their depth), or to go back. The depth is essentially a malus when rolling on the random tables, leading to more dramatic encounters.
==The Idea of Thorns
The Idea of Thorns is a disease that has infected the Gardens and its inhabitants. It affects the mind instead of the body. When someone is infected by the Idea of Thorns, they will be prone to perform irrational actions such as planting roses or other thorny plants, destroying buildings, drawing or writing in the name of the Idea of Thorns, etc.
