In the real world, losing a limb is a life-altering event. There is the emotional trauma, the physical therapy, and the stares of children. There is the difficulty of simple tasks like walking or grabbing objects, a lifetime of tarnished beauty, and possibly a forced career change.

Not so in this fictional universe. Through magic or advanced science, they have Artificial Limbs that are as good (or better than) the original or can regrow lost limbs, just like a lizard. Dismemberment becomes a mere temporary inconvenience, even an opportunity to get an upgrade covered by health insurance.
