Unknown to most of the world, the flesh fruit, hailing from the jungle of flesh, has become an important commodity to the locals who are brave enough to try to find the fruit in the jungle. Its healing properties have given life to new medicines that the locals use to treat their wounded, and the higher ups that add it to their diet have longevity and health beyond unlike any other mortal.
