Vines grow along cliffs everywhere in Sumeru, as timeless as time itself. It is said that these vines were the first thing to ever be created in the forest, making them the progenitors of every plant in Sumeru. All the great plants of the land, even the undying Divine Tree, are connected at the roots through the entanglement of these vines. Of course, this saying has long been refuted by Amurta researchers, but still, it persists amongst the people.
