 Once one has stayed a while, they may note the prevalence of very specifically grown plant life; in lieu of metal benches, one can find a bench grown from a single tree. Instead of metal supports for buildings, the casters of Buyuk Vahsi manipulate plants into perfect scaffold shapes. It doesn’t take long to see that Buyuk Vahsi is perhaps more technologically advanced than the rest of the world: just in a markedly different way. Instead of crafting their technology from metals and flame, they have grown every bit of it out of their natural surroundings.
-In 10028, a massive advancement in this technology was made: a magical and hyper-specific form of grown flora capable of making mathematical calculations. Many of these “machines” are the size of rooms, taking the form of tree trunks with bioluminescent burls capable of lighting up and turning off. These plants are broadly referred to as ironwood, after the shiny metallic appearance of the bark. Ironwood technology has advanced far enough such that many institutions have them, and much energy is being devoted towards advancing this new avenue of technology. Ironwood units are getting smaller and smaller with time, and many scholars think that they will be able to fit on a table or in the palm of a hand by the 11000s.

 Ironwood units can be fed "code" in the form of magical runes engraved onto discs of inert plant matter, which can then be fed into the plant, functioning much like the punch cards used to code early computers of the E-yarth plane. This technology is quickly becoming a major export of the country, although national leaders warn against becoming too eager with it - after all, this technology in the hands of those without care for the natural world and its order could wreak havoc.
