Garden of Eden/Eden/Field of Souls/Gan Eden

The Garden of Eden is a location from Judeo-Christian myth, named in the book of Genesis. A river runs through the garden that branches out into the rivers of the Euphrates, Tigris, Gihon, and Pison. This place is seen as the site of the creation of mankind and a place where there is no suffering, disease, or death, but knowledge is freely given to all. It had ample food and fertile lands, overall being totally idyllic. For a time, the first humans, Adam and Eve, tended to this place. It also held the Tree of Knowledge, which no one was supposed to eat from. After being tempted by the serpent to eat from this tree, Adam and Eve were banished from the Garden. They were sent to a place east of Nodd, and the entrance to the Garden is guarded by an angel with a flaming sword.
