须弥是崇尚「智慧」的国度。国家的种种事务如今正由教令院来处理，正如稻妻篇中八重神子所提供的情报。知识，在须弥是作为一种资源来被管理，而用来实现这一点的是由神之心所运作的，由前代草神「大慈树王」所留下的遗产，名为「虚空」的系统。
Yogurt, IP Scriptwriter: Sumeru is a nation that treasures wisdom. The affairs of state are handled by an organization called the Akademiya. According to what Yae Miko said in Inazuma, knowledge in Sumeru is managed as a resource, and this is done through a Gnosis-powered legacy left by the previous Dendro Archon, the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, called the "Akasha" system.

还有一个很有趣的点是，在须弥，大部分的人们，尤其是成年人，似乎都是不会做梦的。所以也有了「须弥人不会做梦」这样的说法。而当地人也会认为这是一种理性与智慧的象征而非常自豪。
Another interesting point is that in Sumeru, most people, especially adults, aren't capable of dreaming, which is why there's a saying that "the people of Sumeru don't dream." Locals take pride in it, seeing it as a testament to their rationality and wisdom.

须弥森林恰到好处的湿度和土壤非常适合蕈类的繁衍。为了增加繁衍和保护菌群的能力，蕈类发生了进化，形成了一个全新的物种——蕈兽。最高级的蕈兽更是进化出了很强的动物性，具有领地意识和不弱的攻击性。丛林中也栖息着各种各样的动物，其中也有不少神奇的生物。
Baiheng, Monster Designer: The proper humidity and soil in Sumeru's forests are ideal living grounds for Shroom-Kin to thrive. To increase the ability to reproduce and protect the flora, the Shroom-Kin have evolved to the point where they became an entirely new species: the Fungi. The highest form of Fungi have developed a strong animalistic nature, and they are territorial and rather aggressive. The rainforest is also home to a variety of animals, and there are quite a few wonderful creatures among them.

在须弥，我们还会遇见一个新的势力，镀金旅团。他们是来自沙漠古文明的移民，不加入任何国家势力，而是以自己的智慧和力量谋生活，也就是雇佣兵。在丛林之外的广袤沙漠中，同样掩埋着许多过去的伤痕和遗产，有守卫着那些被黄沙淹没的古代秘密的超文明机器，也有受到这些事物影响而异化的凶猛野兽。镀金旅团也掌握了一部分古代文明的遗产，作为应对危机时最后的威慑手段。具体是什么，就让我们拭目以待吧。
In Sumeru, we will also encounter a new force called The Eremites. They are settlers from an ancient civilization in the desert. They are not part of any nation's forces, but make a living with their own wisdom and strength. In short, they are mercenaries. In a vast desert beyond the forest, there are many scars and legacies from the past. There are machines from an advanced civilization that guard the ancient secrets buried in the sand, and there are also fierce beasts that have been affected and thus mutated by these things. The Eremites also have a claim to part of the legacy of this ancient civilization as a deterrent of last resort in a crisis. As for what that means, you'll have to find out for yourself!

主角在须弥的旅行同样会邂逅各种各样的伙伴。作为智慧之国，学者型的角色当然是必不可少的。比如，作为「生论派」的学者，如今正在担任「巡林官」的提纳里，在奥摩斯港邂逅。出身教令院「知论派」的艾尔海森。此外，其他各方势力的角色也会与主角产生交集。比如作为沙漠子民，隶属「镀金旅团」的雇佣兵迪希雅。还有独辟蹊径，在须弥这样的智慧与理性的国度，追求艺术和舞蹈的妮露。而随着旅行的继续，神秘少女纳西妲，还有「大风纪官」赛诺等角色也会依次登场。
Yogurt, IP Scriptwriter: The Traveler will also meet various companions during their travels in Sumeru. As a nation of wisdom, the role of researchers is certainly integral. For example, as an Amurta researcher, Tighnari also serves as a Forest Watcher. The person you meet by chance in Port Ormos, Alhaitham, is from the Haravatat in the Akademiya. In addition, characters from other walks of life will also cross paths with the Traveler such as Dehya, who is a Desertfolk and a mercenary from The Eremites. We also have Nilou, who went off the beaten path; in such a land that values rationality and wisdom as Sumeru, she instead chose to pursue art and dance. And as the journey continues, a mysterious girl, Nahida, the General Mahamatra, Cyno, and other characters will also appear in turn.

至此为止，旅行者的脚步终于将要抵达须弥。不论是沿途的风景、风土人情，还是身边的旅伴，都将会是全新的体验。我们衷心希望可以带给大家一场值得期待的冒险。
Thus far, the Traveler's footsteps will finally reach Sumeru. Whether it's the scenery, the local customs and practices, or the companions along the way, it will be a completely new experience for you. We sincerely hope to bring you an adventure worth looking forward to.
