A trip to Sumeru is less of a tour and more of an intellectual pilgrimage that promises a rich harvest for the mind and soul.
History
Sumeru's premier institution of higher learning, Sumeru Academia, is known throughout the empire for its pioneering studies in dust devils and hydrology. The Sumerian devotion to wisdom and knowledge is embodied in their deity, the Wisdom God Buer. Praised for his insatiable thirst for understanding, Buer embodied the Sumerian spirit and encouraged his people to constantly seek truth and increase their wisdom. Sumeru is also known for a magical phenomenon known as the "Sand Bearer". Various accounts describe it as sand-laden gusts of wind with an enchanting glow, or bursting grain to tell time. However, the origin of this phenomenon remains one of Sumer's most intriguing mysteries.
Influenced by Buer's wisdom, the Sumerians developed a unique cultural tradition of acquiring knowledge rather than wealth. So relics from the "Ruins of Arcadia" or the "Lost City of Arcadia", while having potential value, would be considered Sumerian for their cultural and historical value and not sold for Moras. The region's natural landscapes are said to have an extraordinary aura thanks to the "Heart of the Jungle". She is a mysterious being known to control the elements of Sumeru, making landscapes a verdant wonderland and climates cyclical.
Immersing yourself in the history of Sumer is like embarking on an educational adventure where every story, whether it's an ancient ruin or a scientific masterpiece, enriches your understanding. As Sumeru's mysteries continue to unravel in the Genshin Impact universe, the Realm of Wisdom bears witness to the thirst for knowledge and the beauty of never-ending learning.
