The sky of the Garden has shifted from one covered in a thick, green veil, to one containing three suns and a planet with an orbiting moon.

===Origins===

The origins of the Black Garden are unknown~~. However~~, ~~the Garden~~ bears many similarities to an allegorical description of the primordial state of reality, itself described as a "[[garden]]", in which the [[Darkness]] and [[Light]] existed before the universe began. It is unclear whether the two locations are in fact the same; however, [[Eris Morn]] writes of a [[Tree of Silver Wings]] that was felled in the Black Garden, which would seem to suggest that she believes the Black Garden to indeed be the same as the primordial garden that gave rise to the universe.

*In the Lore Book "Unveiling," the state of existence which gave rise to the universe is described allegorically as a [[garden]] filled with flowers. The flowers in this metaphorical garden are the basis of a game analogous to [[Conway's Game of Life]], which the Darkness seeks to win by bringing about an end-state dominated by a single self-perpetuating pattern that subsumes all others. This description of the primordial state of reality bears many parallels to the Black Garden; however, the significance of these parallels is yet unknown.
