			=== Aquiring bodies ===
			It can sometimes be difficult for Selphids to aquire new bodies, which they constantly need due to degradation and decomposition. Most people or their families don't want to sell their bodies to be used by Selphids. Thus, body brokers whose job is to delicately negotiate for deceased corpses are known to be present in most cities. Body brokers are given a fee to take bodies to their Selphid clients.<ref name=":4" />

			Strong bodies like those belonging to high levels are as valuable as artifacts to Selphids, and they will pay to obtain them. They also value bodies that possess good features, externally and internally.<ref name=":4" /> Leaving a body to rot is done to those Selphids deem useless, not to their friends or enemies.
