Re Infrastructure

Marafire is known for its extrodinary arboreal infrastructure, built completely from formed living trees. The Re prefer habitats in swamps and steep mountainsides. Building on the ground is difficult, if not impossible, in these areas and terrestrial tourism is low on the interior of the country. Still, the Re make an effort to be welcoming and accommodating to respectful visitors.

The Re braid fibers and vines into intricate multilayered cordage, with an outer sleeve or skin (kera) for reinforcement at the most critical places. This is what allows them to build vine-based infrastructure that withstands constant traffic for decades before needing repair.
