That is to say, can the term "homunculi" refer to two very different types of being? I hardly think that a human baby could have its origins in the wretched creatures described in this story we're discussing.

Although there would have been homunculi abroad during the early days of Landover, I read that the cohort of gossips observed by Brother Abednego transpired to have been dwarves (themselves cursed Lev. 21:20)

(It was only later that it transpired that the homunculi were in fact midgets taking a break from a travelling freak show.)

An homunculus might be a type of pre-Adamite BUT I DON'T KNOW and will stand to be corrected, naturally by the Pastoral team if my suggestions are out of order. I had always understood that any "pre-Adamites" would not be human, and have suggested elsewhere that hippopotamuses predate Adam the man who himself of course predates the unnamed woman (who later on did get a name, eventually) and so pre-Adamites would all be animals?

Apparently some homunculi can fly, and take their orders from wizards!

Thank you for this highly informative post, Brother Bathfire.

I realize you must have looked long and hard to find something for which Landover should apologize, but I'm glad you did. Now, when those God-mockers and liberal fake Christians claim Landover is 'shameless' and unwilling to admit error, we can simply point them to this thread where error is admitted and blame accepted!

I, like Brother Temperance, must apologize for not seeing this quite some time ago.

This is just off the top of my head and unsupported with links [the source material is probably not on the internet but interested persons might be able to find something].

There could be 2 types of homunculi (loosely related I suppose): one being the "embryo" you referred to [The Bible does not support that model of conception, by the way] the other being a thing produced by wizards and alchemists, which would obey them.

The Bible refers to humans as growing from the father's seed there's some references from KJV site

I won't dwell on the homuncular demon unnecessarily though. The above is just an impression I'd gleaned from some stuff I once read.

Mitza, that is chilling information! I'm glad you used a cypher to obscure it from the more sensitive eyes here.
