<< My thinking on them was that they were known as the Surgeons of Vitality. They had a philosophy of replacing their imperfect or damaged body parts with better ones taken from other people (either through grave robbing or organlegging - which, surprise!, also appears in the regional activities chart "Bodyparts merchant visiting"). They are continually improving themselves and so they are covered with stitches and old scars. Also by swapping bodyparts with each other, they managed to obtain some form of a shared consciousness. >>
This is a beautiful idea. Did they get their inspiration from the Stitched Zoo? Do Surgeons tourists from the Heartlands want to visit Delecti to find out how it was done in the 'good old days'? Is there secret material in the City of 1000 magicians? Could their techniques be of use in the Garden of Genert? Are their Heretics doing nose jobs for the sultans of Silver Shadow?
