High above the toxic mists of Veedh’s mineral-rich swamps, the Rakshasi bio-scientists make their home, harvesting the swamp waters to engineer new, exotic flora. Their labs hover just above the water’s surface, with resin pipes siphoning liquid through capillary action. This water flows through flasks that extract rare minerals, which are then channeled into terrariums — sealed micro-climates where unique plant species thrive. Their elevated residence, reached by a spine-like staircase and swaying silk tubes, centers on a vast, spherical communal space encircled by semi-private alcoves. Transparent walls grant a constant view of the swamp’s surreal landscape.
