Information on Garland

Travelling across the coastal plains, we head for our first destination.

Garland is a small but beautiful lakeside town, situated in a river valley in the low hills to the northwest of Menewsha. It has become a popular destination for weddings and other celebrations.

Legend tells of the impending nuptials between two influential local families. Garland's pretty chapel is on a small island in the center of the lake, the groom was there, nervously awaiting the arrive of his beloved, but disaster struck her bridal barge as it was crossing the lake! It capsized in a freak accident and his bride-to-be was drowned! The poor young man could not live without the love of his life, and died, of a broken heart.

The tragic couple were buried, side by side, in a special tomb outside the wedding chapel. Many visited to lay flowers and pay homage to the lost lovers. Today it is seen as good luck to visit the grave; to make a wish and maybe leave a small token for good fortune, many people travel from far and wide to tie the knot and share other celebrations in Garland.
