HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The Water Gardens of the Keisei.... built within the Hanamachi for the Maiden of the Dark Water a Kyushi maiden who was regarded for her beauty. Her songs enraptured and soothed the emperor's child from when he was a small boy and sickly. Suffering from violent shakes that wracked his body and only she could calm him down where doctors failed. In truth she used what skills the Kyushi had with absorbing and feeding off of energy to preserve and save him. As he got older and his father passed away he was named emperor and still she stayed with him at court. Refusing his advances but being there to care for him when he was sick. For she kept telling him a Keisei didn't have children. didn't become wives or lovers.
I his efforts to convince her he gave everything, the entire treasury, the palaces, the Longma horses... their finest silks and teas. He showered her with gifts and when she was recalled followed her to the Hanamachi constructing for her what was considered the most beautiful structure. The water gardens so that she could be cool in the hot summer sun... with fruit trees that she enjoyed from around the empire.. with pools and fountains where she could relax. He spent years there trying to convince her with the garden and fell into old age while she continued to live and sing for him. Eventually he passed on and she moved on going back to the shadow towers of her homelands.
Since then the gardens have been there becoming a part of the Hanamachi and something all of the Keisei go to. in the hot summers when the sun it overhead... in harvesting season and for tourists who come to see inside of their village. Those who pay enough can come and swim, can come and partake of the exotic fruits from around the world and the galaxy. It gained some ore plants and animals to make it more exotic and as the Keisei population grew so did its use by the initiates to relax and pla after a hard day of lessons or the older skilled ones to relax when they returned from assignments around Atrisia.
Through the wars that came, plagues, rifts opening and galactic games the gardens stood tall and even when constant assaults were leveled against the planet the Keisei remained strong and secluded in their mountain village.

- Description: Just outside of the Hanamachi itself and built against the lake. Tranquil with a breeze that comes off of the lake and bluish white stones. Fountains that circulate the water from the lake through purifiers. The wide expanse is built partially into the lake itself with the sands moved so the stone can go into the waters and fountains where keisei initiates can relax during the hot summers. Where those who have bought a day pass can come and live like a high borne lord with serving girls and boys... drinks, fruits and shade from a dozen trees. The fruit trees that grow around stretch to the sky and provide shade, with ripe fruits that can fall down into the water and float to waiting hands from the fountains and pools. Exotic creatures are imported from around the galaxy.
