Ambrosia
Ambrosia is an unknowable substance mined from the innumerable veins and mines adjacent and underneath The Carcass. It is a soft Golden substance that has a sweet taste. You can either take it orally (as a snack) or inject it directly into your veins. The main effects one feels upon consuming it is an instant intensification of their true feelings along with hallucinations. If you are happy, you will feel complete Euphoria. If you feel nothing, that emptiness will consume you.
Afterwards, it then absorbs into your bloodstream and mutates you, giving the user fantastical abilities. It seems to bring out your supposed ideal form as well. Thus taking Ambrosia usually is a whole afternoon, or even full day event. Consuming a standard dose of purified Ambrosia heals all wounds as well.
There’s different ‘grades’ of quality of Ambrosia depending on what type of blood is used in it’s purification process which will have increased effects. The highest quality is that which is purified directly by the blood of The Kuvava.
Notes
- Even after all this time no one in the City knows what Ambrosia is or where it came from
- The vast majority of Ambrosia in the Universe is in The Carcasse however there’s a few small deposits found in some Other Equestrias. The Kuvava has made great efforts to buy out or annex the mines where these ‘Errant Veins’ are located.
- One of the main side effects of Ambrosia is that it makes you infertile, so Carcasse relies on immigrants for growth (although very few mutants are dying off now so it’s not for replacement). However apparently the weirdos at The Abattoir found out a way to overcome this limitation, but they’re not sharing.
