Imagoi

Cross section of the top of an Imagoi and within it's own environment

The Imagoi (イマゴイ) is a mushroom-shaped Talyxian organism found deep in the forests of Magoe and Lower Magoe.  

There is a large specimen featured in the artwork, however there are smaller types in Vetla regions.

Ecology

The imagoi is an important resource for people living in the North, especially for the Shaman tribes.  

Removing the head, there are internal organs including a gray brain inside, floating in liquid.  These organs are considered poisonous and therefore are not normally used.  

They are buried under the ground, leaving the liquid as the primary substance to be harvested.  

The "brains" which are planted underground later grow into new Imagoi.

Use

Northern Sergal Lyuca performing a ritual with a cup full of Imagoi liquid.

The Northern tribes use this imagoi liquid as an intoxicating drink.  It maximizes the impact of Miasma on the drinker and induces a state of unified senses with the Talyxian forest.  

People tend to drink this on a daily basis.  Distilled versions of this are used in traditional religious ceremonies and the Brave tribes occasionally purchase this substance from the Shaman tribes.  

Agudners usually decline when given the opportunity to drink this, however if they do decide to try it, the effects are very potent, although they are different from that of Sergals.

Generally most Eltus people, apart from the Northerners, do not look favorably on the consumption of the Imagoi liquid.  It is a very grotesque habit and causes unpleasant mental side-effects.

Distribution in the southern regions is heavily regulated, and is limited to medical drug use.
