Seemingly an ordinary park, the Garden of Mists offers visitors an enhanced experience with an array of spiritual holographic projectors hidden among the trees and hedges making the garden look more vibrant and lush than it really is. Skilled Soshi illusionists have created a landscape so realistic that one needs to touch any given flower or branch before they can be sure it is real. Wild lilac dragons can be seen among the foliage, the skittish flying lizards chasing large fuzzy white butterflies that flutter from flower to flower. The ubiquitous, iridescent shimmerwings are also present, chirping on the banks of the artificial stream that runs slowly through the gardens. Small fish, both illusory and real, swim in the stream and pools crafted by Scorpion gardeners.
The gardens are routinely tended by long-limbed, insectoid robots, carrying a selection of shears, probes, circular saws and plant syringes. These robots walk along the paths on their spindly legs, their soft clicking constantly echoing within the gardens. Programmed to yield to humans, the machines beep politely whenever they move aside to let a visitor pass.
