Salamanders

Salamander Serum
The salamanders are blessed by their loa, Hounsa, with the ability to regenerate any parts of their body, provided that they're able to survive while the missing part is regenerating. Upon discovering this, people from other tribes flock in on the hope that they can be whole again. Originally, the only way this healing can be done is for the patient to receive Hounsa's blessing directly, that is, by becoming a member of the salamanders. However, people that choose to do this is not treated like a true member of the salamanders by the originals. They are treated as a second class citizen and essentially stuck doing manual labor for the originals for the rest of their life. They are however are not bound by any mean to do any of that, they can at any time choose to abandon the salamanders, although this will result in angering Hounsa and him taking any blessing he has given to the person, rendering them incomplete again. This agreement worked quite well for a while, but when the wealthy and powerful started asking for help, the salamanders changed their policy. The salamanders considered that it will be a waste for someone who is influential to be reduced to a slave, so they allowed those who they deemed valuable to continue their life back at their tribe. These people must still worship Hounsa as their loa and in exchange for their freedom, must send tribute back to the salamanders. This change in policy turns out for the best for both parties involved and the salamanders grow even wealthier from their newfound source of income. They now are able to have the time and resource to conduct various researches in accordance to their loa's will.

The salamander serum itself is a product of extensive research that is exclusively given to the hunter's association. The serum allows a person to regenerate back to its former self without needing to worship Hounsa. The hunters need this serum above anyone else because of the occupational hazard that they face may leave them permanently disabled and stop them from continuing their duty. They can always join the salamanders and worship Hounsa but even if they made full recovery, they will no longer be able to hunt because they will lose the blessing of their original loa that made them able to keep up with the beasts in the first place. The serum is rumored to be made using a piece of Kriptca, the corrupted loa of the starfish, as a medium. Because Kriptca is corrupted by the eclipse, he is able to become the conduit for cross loa blessing, thus allowing a hunter to receive Hounsa's blessing while still loyal to his original loa.
