The Orchard is a location that was once used as the main headquarters of the Moon Children. Much like the Fishery, The Orchard seems to possess some magical properties. It was abandoned after the Moon Children were killed in 2010 and has since fallen into ruin.

History

The Orchard was first mentioned during Jadusable's ARG in 2010 by Kayd. While Kayd was fleeing from either BEN or Kelbris, he stopped near The Orchard - presumably going there in an attempt to hide. Shortly after this, he left and continued running.[1] On February 15th, 2016, The Orchard was seen in the video IMG_1426, which featured SKM exploring its remains. This video's description contained a message from a Lunar Child confirming that The Orchard was used by the Moon Children and that it still contains some spiritual energy.[2] It was seen once again in the video IMG_1427, in-which SKM enters a locked building and retrieves a copy of the Libro Lunarus stolen from the Lunar Children years prior.

On July 27th, 2016, thanks to the strange temporal properties of the Parallelos, Jeremy was able to witness Kayd being chased back in 2010. Here, he claimed that The Orchard wasn't too far away from the Fishery.[3] On April 20th, 2020, Patrem made several references to the Hebrew Orchard, or "Pardes". However, it's unknown if this is connected to the literal Orchard.[4]

  1. Kayd's interactions with The Orchard can be found here.
    • The_Orchard.wmv:
    • Kayd: "I just got a call from a restricted number, on my phone with the eulogy. And this time, it told me to wait up, that it's coming, and I decided that I'm not going to wait. I need to find a place to hide until this is all over. I'm going to...try...the orchard. I don't know what is going on, but whatever it is, I'm really deeply involved in this."
    • Kayd hops over the fence leading into the orchard, then faces the camera at himself.
    • Kayd: "I'm right over the fence, as they say."
    • Orchard2.wmv:
    • Kayd: "This is Kayd Hendricks. I'm outside the property where my bike was. My phone is gone, I-I don't know if somebody stole it, or what happened, but it's gone. I was in the orchard, and I don't know if I caught any of the sound or video on my camera, but there were some dogs freaking out, and it wasn't at me. They were chasing something else."
  2. The Lunar Children describe the remains of The Orchard here.
    • "record yourself going to the enclosed geo coordinates, this place was the meeting grounds of who we knew as the misguided. There should be a key, this key gathered the essence of the dying remnants of that place, find it, open the last standing building in that orchard with it and film what masks remain for our archives."
  3. Jeremy mentions The Orchard's close proximity to the Fishery here.
    • Jeremy: "This is a Tyler that seems to have made a different decision in this life and has found himself there at the Orchard. …Not all that far a walk from where he lives, either. Amazing, not all that far of a walk where the traitors live. Amazing, hahaha…"
  4. Patrem mentions the Hebrew Orchard here.
    • [5:01 AM] Xenquility: "What is the machine?"
    • [5:03 AM] /Patrem\: "One of many things which must be witnessed using one of the secrets passed down by the IIII the PARDES"
    • [5:05 AM] /Patrem\: "As before some of you of whom I shall not count are not as you seem"
    • [5:07 AM] Xenquility: "What exactly does "Not as they seem" mean? Think you could give use some clues regarding that?"
    • [5:15 AM] /Patrem\: "there are 9 squares that I can see and the top most center is where which those who became as gods said they felt the sensation. When they spoke of that eye opening experience before the next ascent. The glorious passing of that old mind into the new one is all self contained and what we now witness is the dance of a giant and the young shining link the david that should grow to become as the new father and provider as so brought forth by the old gods of the passing of the torches and so to shall then this fire be passed but not before the confronting of the darkB forgive me I am losing myself once more"
    • [5:17 AM] /Patrem\: "focusing on one reality brings one to it"
    • [5:20 AM] /Patrem\: "esoterically what is an ORCHARD"
    • [5:29 AM] Xenquility: "The orchard seems to be referenced in an old Hebrew myth regarding four rabis, 3 of whom died. This is no coincidence I'm assuming?"
    • [5:34 AM] /Patrem\: "layers"
    • ((...))
    • [6:34 AM] Xenquility: "What is the book that you mentioned earlier?"
    • [6:40 AM] /Patrem\: "The Orchard of sod which I was made the holder of but not the true writer, the adder the giver of wisdom by which all who arrive in the tale would be recievers and spread the sickness is "welldone" and the book that is now in a cover not of its original deisgn finds its home still in the hearts of those who follow him in truth and the wayward airs by which the pages shall turn shall decide the final fate of the story "should you send the heor to ask the fisher king the question" I am losing myself"
