It ‘as long been known that all thin’s were created by the gods. Though we learned early on ta make life beyond our own, it was always done the tradition way. However, there were those who believed they could create life through magic. In the 16th century, it was called science, or alchemy. So came the birth o’ the Homunculus–“little human.”

This section o’ the library is dedicated to the story o’ the Homunculus.
