Hall of Feasts
Just behind the grand ballroom lie the Silver Gardens, found through a small passage leading from the Hall of Feasts. Winter should have killed all living plants by now, burying the graden in thick snow, but the beds are not empty: The paths have been cleared and contain only a thin layer of snow, that crunches underfoot and are lined with shafts of glowing crystal to light the way, though the moon reflecting off the diamond-white snow gives light enough to make it seem almost daytime. In each flowerbed, where there should be nothing, silver stalks grow, and sprout broad silver leaves to catch the moonlight. The flowers that tip each stalk are the frozen blue of glacial ice, lilies, but of a kind most rare. There are other flowers too, touched by winter magic: violets, daisies, lady slippers, all blue or purple or green, all kissed with frost but thriving. Beyond the groomed and kept gardens is a sprawling birch forest, stretching into the misty night. There are leaved on these birch trees, but they are not ordinary. Each leaf is clear as glass, and veined in the purest gold.
There are sounds in the forest, cries of distant birds or beasts. There are spirits in this forest, though whether friend or foe, you cannot say...
