Though Gardstad has been around for many generations, not many people know it exists, largely because the families live a modest life of seclusion. Fittingly, the residents of Gardstad are barely aware of the outside world, most of whom will never see a varl or a mender in their lifetime.
Trivia
Gardstad originates from a fan story which Stoic eventually decided to include in their Map Lore.
- 'The Girl and the Water' fan story, as posted in the Stoic forums.
