"They rage against the sun's death at the hands of a half-sun, a midnight murderer. The killer sent false messengers bearing a well-seed. They planted the seed in the sun's heart, and it bloomed! Bloomed and ravened. A lawless killing! A shameful death, enacted without due ceremony!"[1]

The Garden-King, also called the Green Regent,[2] was the Regent of the Reach.

Long Live the King[edit | edit source]

The Garden-King is long since deceased. Without his regulating influence, the Reach overgrew and became the wild and chaotic realm that it is now known as today. The Garden-King is responsible for the conception of the Scrive-Spinsters at the Forge of Souls.[3]

The Garden-King was murdered when false messengers sent by the Halved planted a well-seed in its heart. This created Old Tom's Well, and the corpse of the Regent now lies deep within.[1] It is said that you can still hear the Garden-King's spirit throughout the Reach, manifesting as the Peacock Wind, as he rages at his own unlawful murder.[4]
