Highgarden is a small area of Fahets that was discovered during an exploration trip across the Fahets mainland. Upon discovering the area Keith brought the other members of the Third Path council to visit the area. The council members spent more and more time relaxing in the area so it was turned into a garden for them. The area once had an abundance of flora and fauna which was greatly decimated by the destabilization event. Over the years the wildlife has slowly returned but not to the extent that it once was.
<quote>Welcome everyone, it's been a long time since I last released a Linking Book to the community.
About 12 years I believe, 12 long years.
Not that I've been idle in that time mind you, I have Written several Ages over the years and have been restoring several more that my team an I have discovered in the cavern.
But Fahets is special to me, it is the first Age I ever Wrote which is why I named it "First" in D'ni. Now it's the first explorer Written Age to come through a more official channel of release than what we used in the past.
I hope you enjoy this area of Fahets. Highgarden was a small garden area that the Third Path council used for relaxation. The Third Path has disbanded over the years for a myriad of reasons, so I thought it was time to open the area to you guys to enjoy.
I should warn you however, that Highgarden is a remote area of Fahets and the nights there are dark and some may find it darker than others depending on what you're used to.
So, with all that said. I'd like to present Fahets: Highgarden. Thank you Patrick for helping to get this area ready for release and thank you everyone for your support.</quote>
Appearance
Highgarden is situated at the summit of a smaller island off the coast of the Fahets mainland. It is a small tiered valley with dark grey rock that is pockmarked in places. Long grass grows around bright glowing blue flowers and strange spherical plants. Large trees shelter the area and the Norapods that can be found growing. The area has two ponds and structures reminiscent in style of Eder Kemo. The smaller pond is flanked by seven statues of D'ni craftmanship which was gifted to the Third Path council by the D'ni artisan Tommen.
A small room sits within the rock face at the bottom of a long stairwell which once served as the Book room. This room has since been repurposed as a small office. A larger Book Room was recently constructed next to the larger pond.
The area once had a large butterfly population but this population has significantly decreased due to the spread of Crimson Blight.
