Welcome to the Hortorium. Here, we grow the majority of the fruits and vegetables consumed by the residents of the Crystarium. We also conduct research in hopes of cultivating new and improved strains.
I often frequent the Cabinet of Curiosity, that I might glean something from the farming techniques of our forebears. We are scholars, not soldiers, but we are fighting for the future in our own way.

I am currently conducting an experiment to ascertain the effect of dark nights on the growth of plants. I do not expect them to suddenly shrivel up and die on me, but this is a first for everyone, and there is no telling what might happen.
The Exarch often stops by after his meetings at the Whispering Gallery to chat and admire our gardens. He seems to genuinely enjoy being around the flora.
He seems to trust you a great deal. Promise me that you will not betray that trust.

The facets are working harder than ever these days, bringing in all sorts of unusual seeds and fertilizers from across the realm. I can scarcely wait to see what fruit this will bear!
The facet investigators can get a bit zealous at times─why, one of them tried to drag me away to assist on her fieldwork! That said, I can sympathize. With the realm at peace, this is a wonderful time for scholars like us.
