Chapter 1: Kindled Magic	Magaambya

A bonekeeper is a kind of repository of the lore of the tribe. They often double as witch doctors, healers, and defenders of their tribe. Anchor Root tries to explain, "A b..b..bonekeeper keeps the bones of our tribe and carves the history of the individual on them." She stutters to a halt, looking down at her feet, "A great leader who dies c..c..could have the tales of their leadership carved into their bones. A c..c..craftsman might have images of their greatest works set into bone. It..it really depends. Bonekeepers keep the bones of the tribe safe and our a..a..ancestor's alive."

When she finishes her description she looks just about ready to bolt or burst into tears.

Teacher Ot listen to Kaikara's idea with interest, "So, like the Bonekeeper, you would carve the jawbone to reflect the spirit within?"

He scans the remaining faces, "Are you all in agreement?"

Anchor Root, her near panic apparently forgotten in an instant, waits for your response with interest.

"Do you have tools to carve the Bone with you?" You see the small gnoll reach into her kit bag but her hand does draw anything out yet.

Silas believes that the task is deliberately being left open to assess your solution as much as how you interpret the question. There are numerous funeral rites that are designed to soothe the spirits of the dead, some quite bizarre. The orc tribes who ride gorthek have been known to eat mounts that die in combat as a way to honour them. Burial at sea is common among coastal people.

The living dead typically require channelled, divine energy to put them to rest though this bone is not undead, perhaps that is what Teacher Ot means. Silas feels that it is up to the group to decide and present their case.
