shelteringwingsLocated in Argo Navis, the capital of the kingdom of Hazaeth, the Hanging Gardens of Daleska are one of the oldest landmarks in the world. It dates back to the Ancients era, back several thousand years, and it has been carefully maintained over the years in order to preserve its beauty. In the effort to keep it as it has always appeared, the Gardens almost look misplaced in time compared to the rest of the high technology levels of the city it's located in. It is the home of various types of vibrant plants and birds, and it attracts thousands of people every year. While people of all races come here, the most common race seen are the native kashia.
The entrance to the gardens is a long, beautiful wisteria tunnel. The end of the tunnel leads to a massive courtyard, which branches off in several directions to various shelters at the end for people to sit and enjoy the sights of the flora and the cool air of the mountain the gardens sit atop of. At the center of the courtyard is the massive tiered structure of marble and intricately detailed stone, each side of the garden walls has two massive waterfalls cascading down the sides and into an intricate pool and moat that circles the structure. The interior structure is home to much rarer and more exotic plants from all over the world, many of which have special medical properties that many physicians seek the permission to clip one from the gardens. It is illegal to take any flora from the garden without strict permission from the Archduchess of the kingdom herself.
The interior of the structure has a smaller courtyard with a stained glass dome ceiling sheltering it from the outside weather. In the center is a weathered statue of a phoenix, which was sculpted thousands of years ago. Various other sculptures and paintings from different eras in time are scattered throughout the gardens. The interior walls of the courtyard have inscriptions of the many names of those who served and lost their lives in the military, as honoring the dead is extremely important to the Hazaethian people.
Despite being located high on a mountain, the occasional fly-by of Raptor-As (F-22s) and Falcon-Cs (F-16s) from the Royal Hazaethian Air Force are very common. Sometimes those who visit the gardens may even catch a glimpse of the Air Force's pride and joy, the Cloud Base Hresvelgr, an airborne aircraft carrier.
Throughout the gardens, there are many digital displays citing the history of the gardens and some things displayed there.
