Overview

  • Limbus is a plant found deep in the forest that can be used for fabricating replacement body parts.
  • The only part of the plant necessary for crafting body parts is the nectar, which, when mixed with animal proteins, can be used in two ways:
    1. Proteins and Limbus nectar can be mixed together to form a dough, which can be molded into the shape of the body part one wishes to create. Once the dough is pressed to the desired location on a living body, it will adhere and swiftly transform into a working, functional replacement of said body part.
    2. Protein and Limbus nectar can be mixed together and planted in the ground. The body part (or an entire body) will then grow from the ground on a vine.
    See the Limbus Recipes for more detailed instructions.

  • It is possible to not only replace, but add parts to a body. For example: adding extra legs to a sheep.
  • Body parts created with Limbus nectar will not take the properties of flesh until attached to a living body. i.e. Yet-unattached body parts are no substitute for edible meat and taste like ash.
  • Fabricated body parts can be attached to any creature made of flesh.
  • A fully grown body may contain any "soul", even that of someone for whom the body has not been crafted. For example, the "soul" of Person A could be placed into a replica of the body of Person B.
  • Presumably, the "soul" of a deceased person can be added to the fabricated body by placing the body in the fountain, upon which time the body shall acquire the soul of the deceased and transform into living flesh and blood.
The uses of Limbus is the subject of ongoing research. This information will be updated as more data becomes available.
