Boneyard District

Boneyard District
The district of death...

“The district of death  covers an area the size of the Islander city of Tatamut and is overflowing with graves. Nobles lay side-by-side, grouped by family, and peasants are stacked five deep in the common yard. Every cobble, signpost, and monument on the street between the rows mark or point to the burial plots of the Filthy dead, and the district’s coffers are filled with burial fees and offerings. It is a steady business—people are always dying—a few silvers for a hole, gold for a chiseled stone marker, and a small fortune for a mausoleum. But the poor had begun dumping their dead in the Queen’s Fork and Boundary Bay, of late. They’d even left them to rot on the cobbles until the districts imposed a fine on family members of the deceased. Of course, bodies then began to appear with their faces cut off so they were unrecognizable. A gruesome trend. ”

Quotes
“Regina, the slender Priestess Steward of the Boneyard, nodded and listed, and then promised to consult her gods. Walking the Boneyard with the somber “conduit  of the gods” made Glass uneasy. It’s like having death linger at one’s shoulder.”
