The inner garden is a quiet and serene place, much like some sort of sacred grove, with several flower bushes growing out of the ground and stone planters. each wall has a pair of tall cathedral-like windows made of amber. The windows on the east and west walls each have a crystal torch next to them in their wall's corners and there is a great tree growing in the west end of the garden that has a tunnel leading under it roots, to the west wall. This tree grows of through a ceiling of many moon crystal that shine their artificial sunlight down upon the garden, into the central tower that has been built around it. here is the very heart of Castle Ire. A stone pathway, decorated with Celtic markings leads straight through the garden, leading from east to west, with a circular center with a great Celtic cross that has a diamond shaped tile in the center that points to the north sought east and west. The tile has a Nordic rune caved into it. This rune represents the "sun", the source of all life on Gaia.
The tile is surrounded by four more tiles, each with a rune carved into them, about fifteen feet away. One is to the west, just under the great tree. This rune represents "wind"
One is to the north, at the foot of a bush of flowers. This rune represents "fire".
Another rune tile is to the south, also at the foot of a flower bush. This rune represents "water".
The fourth rune tile is to the east, inside the stone pathway. It represents "earth".
Nobody knows why these runes were placed here anymore, and everybody just figures that they are just simple decorations.
The east end of the stone pathway stops at a great arched doorway that stands between two great windows of amber. This leads out into the east hallway.

The wast end of the stone pathway leads under the great tree and to an elegant metal to door gate like one seen at a human mansion, or in the fence of a fancy garden, or even a zoo. This gate stands between two great amber window and stairs can be seen behind it. The stairs lead down and enter into the Hall of Ice, the scenic rout to the bath.
