The Outskirts is a grand, empty expanse lying outside of the City. It is said to be an ungoverned, exceptionally dangerous territory, and City dwellers are largely advised to stay away from it.
Overview[]
Outside of the 25 visible districts lies the Outskirts, a no man's land known mostly by citizens of the City as somewhere they should never go to. It is said to be primarily populated by Sweepers and abandoned children, however supposedly also possessing a variety of dangerous Monsters not dissimilar to Abnormalities. The Outskirts is also known for being home to cryptic creatures known as Clockworth Teeth. Few people know more about the Outskirts than this, and even fewer desire to ever see it for themselves. Yet contrarians like Demian claim it to be a better, freer place than the City altogether.
A woodland by the name of the Black Forest is said to be located somewhere along the far edge, from where Abnormalities such as the three birds (Punishing Bird, Judgement Bird, and Big Bird) are known to originate from. Additionally, the Outskirts overlaps with the Great Lake, allowing creatures such as the Pallid Whale to swim between the two. A large train also runs along the edge between it and the City.
The major known use of the Outskirts is by the Head themselves, in which it is used as a dump where they drive out anything they deem to be impurities– described as a "junkyard for the impurities of the City" by Roland. Beyond the Head's use, the Wings and its citizens will sometimes use it as a depot for unwanted children. Angelica and Argalia in particular were dumped in the Outskirts after being experimented on by a Wing at a young age, something not particularly uncommon. Ayin notes that taking in children from the Outskirts into the City requires an extremely complicated procedure. Others may find the Outskirts an alluring place to set up camp specifically due to its distance from the Head's watchful eye.

Outskirts Cooperatives[]
Carmen's Lab[]
A small laboratory founded by Carmen on the edge of the Outskirts for the sake of avoiding the Head's surveillance and conducting research on Cogito. Following Enoch's death and her suicide, continuous catastrophe struck the lab, until it was eventually desecrated by Garion and the Abnormalities she ordered to be released. During its prime, it was occupied by Carmen, Ayin, and the original forms of the Sephirah (excluding Garion). It is home to the original experiments and tragedy which ultimately led to the events of Lobotomy Corporation.
The Library[]
The new home Angela made for herself in order to quench her thirst for knowledge following the ending of Lobotomy Corporation. Due to Angela's position as an Artificial Intelligence and the the great power and influence the Library managed to amass via its system of invitations and books, it was ultimately deemed unfit for the City and exiled to the Outskirts by the Head at the end of Library of Ruina. Its last-known residents include Angela, Roland, and the Sephirot. As of current, no one else other than themselves and the Head responsible for the exile is aware of their location. Characters such as Dante and Don Quixote simply refer to it as having suddenly disappeared.
Santata's Gift Factory[]
A workshop run by Gnomes and Giants, the workshop raids human settlements in the Outskirts and converts captured humans into toys. Prior to the events of Limbus Company it used to raid on a predictable schedule, but became more erratic, resulting in the destruction of Cloud Town at their hands. Its leader has since been killed, and it likely no longer operates.
Cloud Town[]
A village in the northern section of the Outskirts that was consistently raided by the Gnomes of Santata's Gift Factory just before Christmas every year, until it was raided early in a surprise attack and destroyed. It was the hometown of Crayon and Domino, who now make up the villages only surviving residents. Cloud Town, as well as other villages in the Outskirts, have 'Hunters' who specialize in killing monsters and protecting the town from threats.
