Often the only sign left by the Man Eaters beyond the hollowed ruins of their feast, Bone Totems rise from the remains of the devoured. Splintered ribs, cracked skulls, and lashed-together femurs form these towering effigies, clattering in the ill winds of Doaden. Their meaning is lost to outsiders, but to the Man Eaters, they hold deep ritual significance—some marking hunting grounds, others calling their kin, and some standing as crude offerings to the Carrion King.
The size and intricacy of these totems grow with the scale of the slaughter. When a Great Hunt falls upon an ill-fated township, the dead do not simply vanish; they are remade, their bones stacked high in grotesque monuments to hunger. Those who stumble upon these looming towers of ruin are left with little doubt: in Doaden, man is prey.
