The Japanese Tea Gardens

The Tea Gardens, aka Japanese Tea Gardens, are a fief of Faerie, until recently held by Lily and located on land owned by the Queen in the Mists. Golden Gate Park is "carved into dozens of tiny fiefdoms - some no bigger than a single tree - and their boundaries are rigidly enforced."[1] There is no local regent.

Background[]

Amandine helped Lily relocate her knowe into the Tea Gardens from Japan, a story that Lily has not divulged to Toby prior till her death. Toby and Amandine regularly visited Lily's knowe for a "girl's day out". While Lily treated Toby with kindness, she regularly chided Amandine for keeping secrets from her.[citation needed]

When Simon kidnapped Rayseline and Luna, Toby trailed him to the Tea Gardens, where she caught him with Oleander. Unfortunately, Simon caught her and turned her into an enchanted koi to save her life, and threw her into the pond. As Simon had compromised the knowe as well, scattering most of Lily's subjects, Lily was only able to keep Toby comfortable when she had been a koi until frequent exposures to dawn and accessing her magic allowed Toby to retake her bipedal form.[citation needed]

Lily's subjects eventually came back and served her up until her death, which caused the collapse of her knowe. All of Lily's subjects have been relocated to Goldengreen under Dean Lorden.[citation needed]
