RungPaths first appear in Golden Son as a functional, ivy-like network of hand-pull rungs that enable low-gravity transit between Luna’s towering city levels. Across the series they evolve from simple utilitarian infrastructure into a recurring symbol of vertical social stratification and clandestine movement, repeatedly used by characters to ascend or descend both physically and politically. Their presence underscores the rigid hierarchy of the Society while simultaneously offering hidden avenues for rebellion.
