Summer Palace of the Patriarch[]
The Summer Palace of the Patriarch was originally built as a retreat during the heat of the summer months around the year 250 BDE.A sprawling mass of gardens and mansions, the Summer Palace resides over the rest of the city on an elevated plateau surrounded by three rows of Patriarch Oaks. The complex is a prime example of Early Imperial Architecture, making extensive use of brass, gold and pallasite stones. Nowadays it is rarely in use by the Patriarch himself, as he spents most his time in Darkwater for political reasons. Selected family members are awarded the honor of maintaining the facility - and inhabiting it - in his stead.

Theater[]
One of the primary cultural institutions of Lone Garden is the large central theater complex built in 212 BDE. It is primarily dedicted to Sylvanian Epic Dances and features recurring shows about the history of the Tenna family and great deeds of its patriarchs. Once a year it hosts a festival dedicated to the memory of the family's role in the Darkwater Crisis.
