Digging into alchemy in video games.Does anyone know what Skyrim's Nirnroot was based on? I know it's named after Nirn, probably was manufactured by Dwemer's acoustic prowess, but are there real life (maybe mythic) plants that make sound? cc @EpicNate315 https://t.co/MTgliwFAny

@EpicNate315 Also a possible explanation for dwemer metallurgy could be framed as sonocrystalization.Metals are basically crystals, no? Sound waves in a cooling metal could bias where particles end up congregating. https://t.co/MvlqGycikNhttps://t.co/SB3gTqJ6LU
