The King's Garden is a vast and rambling estate, hundred of overgrown acres of browning trees, vast boulders, and sagging buildings. The gardens have been neglected for decades, allowing wild animals and beasts to infest them for elite hunting.
The ruins even contain chests of small treasures, seeded there by the gamewardens as prizes for games to be played, or as places to hide away if under threat. The gamewardens are a rangy, quiet group of solemn trackers and animal experts, experienced in handling exotic animals which have been captured and brought here for sport. How you can use the King's Gardens in your game: - Lucky or particularly prized Player Characters might be invited on a Hunt. If they're lucky, things could go well. If they're unlucky, they might stumble into the wrong area, drawing the ire of more dangerous beasts. Or perhaps it's no accident, and someone in their party has given them the wrong directions? - If an attack on the King's castle seems successful, protocol is for members of the Royal family to be led into secure locations within the gardens. The PCs might be sent as reinforcements, or to bring them back if the attack has failed. But if the flag isn't raised above the ruin, that means trouble... -Your PCs might also be sent to subdue some kind of monster and bring it back for the gardens- perhaps a griffon. If it has a nest, all the better- there may be a bonus for chicks or eggs. Also posted on Game Masters Stash on 27 June 2019. Comments are closed.
