WAS: Look closer at the picture depicting the hanging gardens in Almedia
From Create Your Own Story
The hanging gardens are located in Almedia, the greatest city in the world. Almedia is filthy rich due to monopolizing most of the trade in its area. Having such money the queen (and the sole ruler) of the city decided to built a luxurious garden in the middle of it because of her love for beauty. The garden is built on top of an old temple from the city’s previous owners, a temple which was a huge building built as a perfect square made entirely of solid bricks. As a result the huge garden can be seen overlooking the city, its green plants and trees are a stunning comparison to the city life of the ordinary citizens. Supposedly it even has a waterfall built in, which streams down in great canals to the city in order to fill all its fountains and drinking wells. Every day at the same time, before the water overfills the canal, they release the water into their farmlands; giving their crops enough water to always have rich abundance of food and growth all year round.
Although the garden is astonishing to look at from below, especially for ordinary men, it is what’s inside that makes your blood boil. The queen of the city is according to rumor the most beautiful woman alive, and she never leaves that garden. She runs her entire kingdom among those exotic plants and is never seen by either common men or even kings of foreign lands. But her taste for beauty is not only limited to nature but also includes a love for flesh. During her reign she has assembled a sizable collection of slaves from all corners of the world. These, the world’s most beautiful women, are kept in the queen’s garden as “decorations”. Their sole purpose is to make the garden even more beautiful. There they live, away from any man who would want to claim them, in a forbidden harem.
The queen and her harem have been the subject of your many teenage fantasies. Legend has it that any man who enters the garden never walks out of it alive, and women who enter are only spared if their looks don't rise to the Queen standards. These rejected women are the ones who have lived to tell about the queen and her garden, but their answers aren't enough to fill the curiosity of men. You dream of some day claiming that harem and its queen for yourself and see if their beauty is as legend claims it to be. Some day. . .
