My name is Eilir Rowan. Welcome to my Garden. This is a place I've set aside to collect specimens of various human endeavours, whether those of great beauty or of deceptive poison. It is to be a study of what makes us human, and what as a species we have in our favour and to our detriment. I do not feel that we can truly exhalt the beauty mankind creates without also acknowledging our weaknesses.
Over time I hope to sow the seeds for this Garden, including links to other sites and perhaps some new varieties of my own. With luck and effort, the it should blossom forth, and hopefully bear fruit. But keep in mind, that for all the wonders of a Garden, it is in Paradise we meet (at least in one mythological cycle) our Fall.
For now I offer the following links to give some idea of what you may see in the coming days here.
