Salinkari

The Salinkari are giant snails that are used for transportation in Lunastra. They require a license to operate, and can move surprisingly fast. They are available for both purchase and rental.

Their shells are decorated, and in fact, there is an entire industry of artists in Lunastra that do art on snail shells. Their names usually match their decoration, but they respond to new names fairly quickly.

Alchemical uses of the slime have been highly researched in Lunastra. While to tourists, consumption and use of Salinkari slime is a weird tradition, to the people who live in Lunastra, it’s quite normal and beneficial. The best chefs can turn Salinkari Slime into flavor enhancing additions to their dishes or distilling it into potent alcohol, but it’s more practical use is in skin care. There are also those who have mastered the use of slime as a potion component, but, like with cooking, the process is difficult to ready slime for consumption.
