Yep, I responded in the post--as far as you know, they appear to be meaning what they mean who they are who they are. You are able to detect no subterfuge from either of them.<br/><br/>As for Razorvine, it's the only crop that still thrives despite the arcane corruption, and is what supports life in the city. It can filter water, create juices of various tastes depending on the concentration of water-to-juice, be made into poisons at high concentrations, can be eaten raw or cooked, can be woken to make rope, fermented to make alcohol of various types and concentrations, and much, much more.<br/><br/>The only problem is its namesake--the thorns that are almost like razors, and make it incredibly dangerous to harvest. While few people die (though there are still a couple every year), many are lightly injured (or worse) when attempting to harvest the razorvine's fruit, roots, and vines.
