The Bone-Gravers Syndicate controls the illicit marrow trade, extracting the substance from unauthorized digs and selling it to alchemists, wizards, and desperate nobles. They operate hidden camps in the Ossuary Coast's sea caves and the Skull Basin's labyrinthine bone formations. Mother Othlia, their enigmatic leader, maintains a network of safe houses and informants across the empire, while her enforcers — the so-called Carving Crews — defend their claims with brutal efficiency.
