By the 1900s, in the ''Skies'' timeline, the King has long since died. Without his regulating influence, the Reach overgrew and became the wild and chaotic realm that it is now known as today. Luckily, however, the Garden-King prepared light-emitting plants that keep the region somewhat well-lit, so the Reach isn't completely dark by any means. | |||

== Celestial Murder == | |||
The Garden-King was murdered when false messengers, who were likely sent by [[the Halved]], planted a well-seed in its heart.
