Natural resources

This island spawns cowslip, hemp, and stone.

Buildings

In the original naming scheme, Garden Cradle's building names all used nondescript nouns, which are generic nouns used where either a proper noun or a more specific common noun is expected. Buildings constructed since Findabhair gained control of the island are instead based on unflattering variations of the names of Viridian Ocean flags.

The vanity theme has since been changed to a Mesopotamian scheme.
