Loved your recent Lorecraft on Forsaken, along with the sketch of Ten Arm Pattin! I’ve toyed with similar ideas in the past, such as playing a Forsaken as a Spare Parts vendor, offering both well-preserved body parts, embalming services, and of course pretty prosthetics (I imagine that some Forsaken might take to stuffing various cavities with herbs etc with either nice-smelling or embalming qualities). Additionally: Body modification/”tattooing” by embroidery! Using dead skin as literal canvas!

If you’ve had similar ideas, go for it! It’s the little details of every day life that can add so much to a fantastical setting. And the curious way Forsaken are and their lifestyle can open up such unique perceptions to their culture and society! A cause and effect of different needs to satisfy for their particular way of life. Oh the possibilities! 

Think about it! Forsaken can replace parts and limbs, so of course there would a market for parts to sell or trade – and why not add layers to that too! Maybe “officially”, by Royal Apothecary standards, a Forsaken can get the better parts, but perhaps there’s a long waiting list or is expensive. So, because of that, hey, cheaper market alternatives! Sure, the products may not be so ‘fresh’ or look a little busted up, but a limb’s a limb right! Or even black market opportunities! Limbs and parts of very rare sources, or dangerous to use, with necromantic magic that’s questionable at best, but still draws in a loyal if questionable clientele…! 

An embalming business could be the same equivalent of a spa treatment for Forsaken! Plump those dry sunken wrinkles, add some color back to your place flesh, fresh embalming fluids to freshen up those rotten insides…! 

Fake organ vendor! All shapes and styles, colors and materials! Favorite clothes sagging on those old bones of yours? Need more plump in your rump? Stuff your empty cavities with fake organs right under your skin! Hay stuffed or herb stuffed, linen or silk, personally embroider them too for a gift! Special hollow fake organs make for great pouches and pockets to keep all your certainly legitimately acquired keepsakes!
