| ==='''The Garden'''=== | | ==='''The Garden'''=== |
− | In a vale to the northeast of the Hub of Mandalay is a quiet little realm apart from the universe. Wide golden boughs span beneath a soft sky, where flowers abound in a realm of terraces, gazeboes, and private nooks. The air smells of honeysuckle and love.
| |

| |
− | Conception will not take place, nor can diseases transfer. A person with a social disease who sleeps the night alone in the Garden awakes cleaned of the taint. Many magical conditions can be cleansed by a night of rest here. Also, those who enter the Garden together can determine whether or not others entering can find them.
| |
− |
| |
− | The realm is littered with tiny cabins, gazeboes, covered niches, and secluded meadows that can provide privacy to the lovers. They can not be disturbed nor interrupted, not contacted by trump nor surprised by REALLY loud screaming.

− | ==='''Tir Mar Gala'''===
| |
− | This place, like Tir no'gath in Amber, is a stairway up to a shadowy reflection of the Hub of Mandalay. It appears only once a month, rising from the pathway into the Vale of Song
| |
− |
| |
− | Unlike Tir No'gath this is not a realm of prophecy, it is a realm of solitude. It is a cloudy realm that is death for the deathless, rest for the restless, and peace for the haunted.
| |
− |
| |
− | Adrian tells me that in this cloudy realm one need only lay down to sleep to doze into peaceful, dreamless sleep. The sleeper wakes briefly once a month, to decide if he wishes to continue his rest. They may even determine how long they wish to rest. A month, a year, a century is all the same to Tir Mar Gala.
| |
− |
| |
− | While here they can not be trumped, detected, taken against their will, nor slain, harmed or found. One may heal here, so if you are damaged, crippled, maimed or otherwise injured, and need some rest, this is the place to let all your cares go by.

| ===Green Belt=== | | ===Green Belt=== |
| This is the region of shadows directly effected by Mandalay. Like the Golden Circle of Amber, The Black Zone of Chaos, and the Silver Ring of Avalon, Mandalay is surrounded by the Green Belt. This layer of influences spreads widely in Amber. | | This is the region of shadows directly effected by Mandalay.

− | ====Falri====
| |
− | Falri is a few shadow veils away from the Hub itself. It is a fey world and the central realm for them in a primal land based on nature. The place is powerfully nature oriented and its people are fiercely partisan.
| |
− |
| |
− | This realm is ruled, to the degree a realm of fey creatures can be ruled by Zala fey-a full fairy, and her companion, Psaltry, a female Titanide.
