Who they are.
The Stem obsession with Lodging is entangled with their desire to attract as many sentients as possible to play their games.
The Stem are an ancient, spore-based bioweapon turned gentle sentients. They have a vast, interconnected network of resources they call "The Feed." Using The Feed, the Stem are able to generate abundant food and Lodging. The Stem's reliance on their feed networks and spores weakens their communication with other species.
