## Races

## Limun
For millenia within the depths of the earth, the Limun has eaten. A roiling mass of ooze and slime filling vast chasms. Each slime in the mob shares a superconsciousness, constantly experiencing and reliving the memories of each member simultaneously. This state appears to be a blissful one for the oozes allowed to take part in it. As oozes join the Limun, the slimes body is incorporated into the Limun's mass and more experiences are added to the collective.

Occasionally, memories or quirks introduce problems with the stability of the entity. Those traits are isolated and collected with other problematic matter and expelled as a new slime. This new life will immediately try to return to the Limun, but it will be rejected. From this point forward, this discarded slime will live a completely solitary life. Most oozes will venture into the underdark as black puddings or gelatinous cubes, eating until they are eaten. However, a few remarkable individuals receive enough experiences to piece together a complete, if scattered, consciousness.

The Limun take their name from the mass that they emerged from. To be a Limun is to know connection and rejection in the most personal way. Limun are discarded from birth and learn how to exist as intelligent creatures through the memories that were ejected with them. This makes each Limun a unique entity, though some speculate whether such a creature has a soul. Regardless, they are extremely rare and few survive infancy. Those that do are filled by a voracious appetite for new experiences and adventure.

#### **Alignment** 
Limun are inherently chaotic beings, rejected for disturbing the collective. Most are disinterested in the conflict of good and evil, as their conflicting internal experiences pull against each other. Most carry a visceral hatred for being confined or imprisoned.

#### **Appearance** 
While able to take humanoid form, Limun are creatures of slime and ooze. Limun are often bright blue or green, with some able to change their base color to match human skin. Such disguises often do not stand up to harsh scrutiny, but many Limun can effectively imitate human appearances at first glance.

#### **Religion** 
Each Limun at their core share the same instinctual goal, to rejoin their parent. Many fight this urge to their death, with some choosing service to another being in hopes of alleviating their burden.
