Silk's origin

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

No, no, no.  The liana vines are primitive inhumi, the natural state of inhumi without blood.  They parasitized the ability to recombine their genome from the much more mystical trees of Green, which can actually more fully integrate the genetic material they eat like in "Talk of Mandrakes."

In the absence of humans to feed upon, the only inhumi left would be the vegetable lianas.
