The vines set you down on a broad limb of the tree which houses the oddly wrought structure. To either side an unguarded drop promises a swift end, a fact none of the A'Dendri going to and fro seem to notice. Curiosity drives you forward and you explore the strange paths the A'Dendri take laden with compost, mulch and moss.

Finally, you reach a platform of densely interwoven branches and vines, on which a variety of small plants grow in wooden bowls. Many bowls, however, only contain soil of different colors. A female A'Dendri seems to work here and looks up as you approach, watching you closely while exchanging spores with Guide, who then explains. She struggles to find the right sign for what she wishes to express about the A'Dendri's role here, and in the end settles on 'Herbalist' and 'Archivist'. The 'Herbalist' leads you to a very large bowl filled with sick looking soil. You would know that ichorous mulch anywhere - it is Deepwood soil. Guide recoils. She knocks, "Dangerous to bring here." You are surprised to see the crude bowl is made from crushed human armor plates held together by rust.
