Silent Garden

Silent Garden is located in a secluded area on the outskirts of Hethereau, a meticulously maintained garden landscape. First-time visitors are often captivated by its apparent tranquility — neatly trimmed hedges, ever-blooming flowers, gently flowing streams, and stone benches scattered throughout create a scene reminiscent of an earthly paradise. However, this uncanny perfection is itself a signal: Silent Garden is no ordinary garden.

A peculiar sense of silence pervades the garden. Visitors often notice that its acoustic properties differ markedly from the outside world — the sound of wind, water, and birdsong all become unusually soft, as though the entire space is enveloped in an invisible barrier. Research indicates that Silent Garden occupies a site where ancient Espers once conducted important ceremonies, and residual forces connected to oaths and prophecies still linger here.

For the Appraiser, Silent Garden is an exploration site brimming with mysteries. Hidden deep within the garden are clues and relics tied to ancient oaths, and deciphering these messages may prove crucial to understanding the deeper origins of Hethereau's anomalous phenomena. When exploring the garden, players must observe environmental details carefully, as the arrangement of many features and the spatial layout carry specific meanings rather than being randomly placed.
