−	~~#REDIRECT~~ [[Spirits (dNetHack)#Eden, the ~~First Garden~~]]	+	{{tocright}}
		+	'''Eden, the First Garden''' is a [[Spirits (dNetHack)\|spirit]] that appears in [[dNetHack]], [[notdNetHack]] and [[notnotdNetHack]].
		+
		+	==Ritual, seal and taboo==
		+	Eden's seal must be drawn on a [[square]] with a [[fountain]].
		+
		+	To remain bound to Eden, the hero must not destroy [[tree]]s or fountains.
		+
		+	==Mark==
		+	A hero that has Eden bound has a dome of cerulean crystal embedded in the crown of their head, with a garden visible inside.
		+
		+	The dome can be seen from a distance if the hero is [[tiny]] or smaller, and can be seen up close ''unless'' they are large or bigger. Any [[helm]] that covers this area (including [[Hat#dNetHack\|hats]]) can be used to cover the dome.
		+
		+	==Benefits==
		+	While Eden is bound, the hero gains skill in [[long sword]]s and has [[reflection]]: this does not reflect rays from a [[Dragon (dNetHack)\|dragon's]] [[breath weapon]], with the exception of [[disintegration]] breath from a [[black dragon]].
		+
		+	Eden's active powers are as follows:
		+
		+	*'''Purifying Blast''': A powerful multi-hit blast that prompts for a direction and must charge for five turns after that direction is specified, —upon firing, the blast deals 10 spirit dice of damage with a 25-square knockback, followed by a fireball with the same amount of dice being fired along the same line.
		+	*'''Recall to Eden''': The hero attempts to remove 1 adjacent [[monster]] from the game, with their probability of success based on the hero and target's relative [[HP]] totals. The hero will recover some HP if the attack succeeds, but will not gain [[experience]] and and much of the monster's inventory will disappear with it.
		+	*'''Stargate''': The hero [[branchport]]s, which must charge for 5 turns and renders the hero immobile—branchporting also drains their [[energy]]. Their [[AC]] is improved by 7 points, as with the Purifying Blast power.
		+
		+	Eden's passive power is as follows:
		+
		+	*'''Silver Hull''': The hero's body is made of [[silver]].
		+	** The hero's [[bare handed]] attacks, [[martial arts]] attacks, [[kick]] attacks, and [[headbutt]]s all deal silver damage against silver-hating monsters if they are not wearing armor for those respective slots (i.e. [[gloves]], [[boots]] and/or a helm).
		+	** Silver-hating monsters that attack the hero and make contact with their bare skin or body also take silver damage.
		+	** A hero that is of a silver-hating race or in a silver-hating form (e.g. a [[Vampire (starting race in dNetHack)\|vampire]]) loses their silver vulnerability, and a hero in a form made of [[iron]] becomes resistant to water damage.
		+	** A hero that is an unholy-hater will not take unholy damage from black-star rapiers—this may be a bug.

		+	In notdNetHack and notnotdNetHack, '''Eden''', {{brightcyan\|D}}, also appears as a [[monster]] that can be summoned by an [[Illithanachronounbinder]]. Eden is a [[strong]], [[carnivorous]] and [[thick-skinned]] [[Dragon (dNetHack)\|dragon]] that is similar to a [[silver dragon]] in appearance, including its body shape and wings: it is capable of [[flight]] and will pick up [[gold]], [[gem]]s, [[magical item]]s, and other objects that it comes across. It can track the hero and sense other monsters via [[catsight]] and [[scent]], and can [[see invisible]]. Like many summoned spirits, Eden cannot be [[tamed]].
		+
		+	Eden has a [[Fire (element)\|fiery]] breath weapon, a [[bite attack]], two [[claw attack]]s, and an additional 4d10 tailslap attack that it will use once every global turn. Eden possesses [[fire resistance]] and [[reflection]].
		+
		+	Eden can be warded by a fourfold-or-better [[User:Chris/dNetHack/Elder Elemental Eye\|Elder Elemental Eye]].
		+
		+	===Generation===
		+	Eden is first generated when summoned from her seal by an Illithanachronounbinder. It is always created hostile, and is not a valid polymorph form or genocide target.
		+
		+	Eden [[Corpseless\|does not leave a corpse]] upon death, instead [[Death drop\|dropping]] the [[artifact]] '''Eden's Scales''': Eden's scales are a set of [[silver dragon scales]] that can be made into [[Dragon armor (dNetHack)\|both types of dragon armor]], can be safely [[Scroll of enchant armor\|enchanted]] to +7, and can be [[invoked]] to branchport.

		+	If Eden is killed after being summoned, it can be encountered again in the [[Void]], a branch accessed by opening the high [[altar]] of [[Ilsensine the Fallen]] as an Illithanachronounbinder using the [[invoke]] effect of [[The Elder Cerebral Fluid]]. Eden is generated along with many other spirits of the near void on the first floor of the branch, and is generated with the "whispers" template, which makes it [[nonliving]].
