Loja's Garden

A girl about seventeen years old sits on a large rock, playing with a bronze dragon. The girl is very slender and tall, with blond hair and pale skin. From her looks, you can tell she is a northerner with some elvin blood in her. The dragon is barely three feet tall with scales that gleam in the sun.

As you walk into the small garden, you notice a young blonde playing with a small bronze dragon. The dragon sees you first and starts chirping frantically in a strange language. The girl looks up at you, then back at the dragon. "Oh, be quiet, Morion," she scolds. "It's a visitor!" Turning back to you, she greets you. "Welcome. I am Loja, the keeper of this garden and those who choose to live here. This is Morion, a naughty dragon from the Dark Crystal Realm. He came here just a week or so ago. We are hoping to take in even more creatures. I'm sorry to change the subject, but why are you here?" You explain that you would like to look at the castle more and meet the people within. "Oh, you should see Kuni, then," Loja says. "She is a good friend of mine." Loja leads you to an area of the garden next to the castle wall. Ivy grows up one stone wall. She carefully pulls a clump of the ivy out of the way, revealing a small doorway. "Go on in. This leads to her library. She's usually quite friendly and will be glad to help you." You can go through the door or leaving the garden.
