The region of Madina Gardens is a hot green fertile plain, well watered by rivers and lakes, and subject to high humidity fed by the strong ocean winds. The entire area is arable, growing grains, olives, green beans, peppers, strawberries, citrus fruits, spices, and many other fruits and vegetables. There is also much livestock, camels, goats, sheep, cattle, chicken, and pigeon are extensively reared. The surrounding seas are rich in Anchovies, sardines and Tuna.
Madina Gardens are divided into 7 regions, each dominated by a central fortified town of the same name, and numerous smaller settlements. The regions/towns are named Madriona, Larafa, Gabina, Gofau, Labuk, Probag, and Lawdens. The smallest region is Madriona, but paradoxically it contains the largest town, which is the seat of the Marquis/Marchioness of Madina Gardens. It is the major trade hub in and out of Madina with most of the food which nourishes Madina passing through it.
The towns of Madina Gardens are extensive warrens of flat roofed houses built of mud brick and painted white to reflect the heat. From the outside they are nondescript, but inside, the houses of the richer townsfolk each have their own lush garden providing shade and beauty in which the family can relax. Every town has its bazaar in which all kinds of trades flourish. The people of Madina Gardens are comfortable, cultured, and complacent.

Sailors have honored the gardens with a song which is known for generations.
I sailed on the Madina sea blue, I sailed me with my true love My strong heart strove the two between, the old ship and the one The old for her, the new that made me think of Madina gardens While strong wind blew in my sails and shook the green gardens
Twas hard the woeful words to frame to break the ties that bound us
But harder still to bear the shame of ocean storm around us
And so I said, "We drop anchor here, and sail out morning early”
And join the bold fortunate men," while strong wind shook the gardens
While sad I took away her sails, a tear for her long service
A ocean’s storm burst on our decks from out the big blue deeps
A thunder pierced my old love's side and taken by the deep blue
And I full of tears she sank while strong winds shook the gardens
But blood for blood without remorse I've taken on the big blue sea
And granted her my old love's wreck and some day I may follow
So deep her grave I still dream, noon, night and morning early
With breaking heart when I hear the strong wind that shakes the gardens.
OOC: The song is taken from The wind that shakes the Barley a song from Ireland. Of course it is changed to fit Madina more but I suggest you all listen it once and go see the movie.
