Hanging Gardens

This tower built in the midst of a barren desert rises level after level, each step more laden with verdant vegetation than the last.

The Hanging Gardens of King Dorgalua were built on King Dorgalua's orders after Dorgalua's Great War, as a gesture of affection for Vernotta Eltynaha Oberyth, his queen.

The Gardens serve as the bulk of the final dungeon of Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together.
