Gardener

The Gardener is a creature of unknown origin settled in Blackwoods in days gone by. Besides shadowy silent beings called lunars he is the sole inhabitant of The Garden.

Personality
Nobody has ever seen the face of The Gardener as well, yet there are some claims that he is leper or even an undead and therefore never takes off his mask. The latter is doubtful as the undead don’t breath, while The Gardener sometimes sighs and coughs disturbingly noticeable. He also doesn’t feel any fear against the Sun or anything else. Quite the contrary. All other beings, even dark creatures of Blackwoods desperately try to keep out of The Garden and its owner. His rare guests usually come during new moons and look as terrifying as the host. The sentinel trees around The Garden seem to be far more agile than ordinary Blackwoods trees, so it’s very hard to sneak into The Garden and oversee what happens inside. Some daring adventurers claim to have seen wonderful orchards full of gleaming fruits and strange flowers, though.

History
It is uncertain whether The Garden already existed before The Gardener came, or The Gardener was, in fact, the one who created The Garden. Anyway, at the current time The Gardener and The Garden are almost synonyms, as no one has ever seen The Gardener outside his domain and, actually, no one around would be happy to bump into The Gardener even in a bad dream.
