Gwen's garden

Nestled in a corner behind the Eye of the North is a small garden maintained by Gwen. Here she grows Red Iris Flowers, among other things.

Dialogue
Gwen's monologue the first time you bring her here:


 * "I've always loved red iris flowers, ever since I was a girl."
 * "I keep this garden for reasons I can't fully explain. Perhaps to keep a little of my home alive in these harsh lands?"
 * "It's amazing to me that something so fragile could blossom here, in this earth."
 * "When I look at this garden, I see what I lost, and what we all lost. But when that iris flower blooms, I see hope."
 * "If these flowers survive, so will we."
 * "The greatest forest can become cinders with a tiny spark. The Charr knew this, and they sought to stamp out our memories of home when they seared Ascalon."
 * "But what those beasts do not realize is that new life will always spring and, like a plant shoot, I am still standing. Still fighting for a life beyond this."
 * "Some day, Ascalon's fields will bloom again, and the scent of smoke in my nostrils will be the scent of clean air."
 * "People will come to lush congresses of my home and they will know that the blood of heroes allowed the new life to spring forth."
 * "That is the future I will have. But now, we have work still to do. Come, the journey is long."
