Sumeru, the Land of Wisdom

By the end of the Archon Quest in Inazuma, Yae Miko suggested that our next destination should be Sumeru, but not without warning first, that Wisdom in the Dendro Nation is a type of currency.

In Prelude to Wisdom, we find that Sumeru treasures wisdom to the point that the Akademiya handled all state affairs. A legacy from the previous Dendro Archon, Rukkhadevata.
