The Imperian Gardens (A place for all to come and interact in a peaceful town location)

Post by Akos »

It had taken Akos many months before she was able to turn her attention to anything other than rebuilding the town hall and it's economy, but as she was finally confident that the town had finally found itself once again on a strong footing, she was able to turn her attention to things of a less demanding nature. The Viceregal privy council had expressed an interest in renewing its program of monuments and statues, and as a result Akos had taken stock of what existed in Imperius. What she found was a solitary large statue dedicated a creature named Melusine Sunspear. The memorial to the former Fenian judge had fallen into a state of mild disrepair, while the surrounding gardens had become overgrown and almost impossible to navigate. She'd shaken her head in dismay and decided that the situation needed to be rectified. A poll would be taken of the town to decide upon a new statue for the garden, and while the results were tallied Akos would commission a team of gardeners and crafts creatures to bring restore the area.

The team had worked with dedication and speed to transform the garden into a peaceful area. Plush grasses gave ample space for citizens to picnic upon, while large trees offered speckled shading upon the reserves edges. A path wound its way around a large stone fountain in the middle of the garden, an elegant focal point where wishes could be made and where local birds and smaller wild life could splash amongst its waters. The gardens themselves were arranged in such a manner that there were central positions in various garden beds set aside for any future statues to be erected. Akos admired the restored statue of Melusine and took a moment to read the now legible plaque,

Melusine Sunspear, Robber Baroness

Judge of Fenia and Queen of Mischief you stole our hearts.




Akos had never met the creature, but the inscription certainly suggested that they may have gotten along quite well. A wry smile settled upon her lips as she turned and walked to the opposite side of the garden, where workers had just finished their efforts on the latest instalment.

It was truly an honour to see her own form carved into the marble. She'd done her best to strike a pose for the artist to make herself look regal; crown perched atop her head, slight smile upon her face that cast a gaze towards the scattering of rocks that surrounded the statue. She'd wanted to make sure that her citizens had an opportunity to look regal themselves, and so the rocks were set a various heights where one could sit, or stand, or even lean against. The iron plaque beneath her form was a simple statement,

Dark Queen Akos, looking all regal and things.


She chuckled to herself and gave one final round of heartfelt thanks to the workers as they finally finished up their tasks before taking one of the paths back towards the town square. With all restored and functional, it was time to let Imperius know that their gardens were ready for use.
