The owner of the Garden perished in one the numerous wars. His family and servants abandoned the house they lived in. Without the owner's touch twigs and roots of the trees in Garden began to grow relentlessly. Little time has passed before they were poisoned by the water, which was magically tainted to prevent people from rebuilding the place. The overgrown and sick trees died out, and so the Garden perished.
