"The bone bears all tales, my friend. It is the road that runs beneath the skin, and we follow it to the heart, where only blood is salt."[1]
Midnight Whales are enormous zee-beasts that roam the depths of the Unterzee. Whale bones are a popular medium for scrimshaw, the act of engraving tales and information on ivory and bones, so the whale bones that are strewn throughout the zee-floor are often covered in thousands of carvings in many languages.[2] In fact, the skeleton of a Midnight Whale formed the foundation for the society of bone-carvers known as Scrimshander.[3] Midnight Whales are a popular source of food for the zailors that inhabit the Gant Pole,[4][5] and they're apparently hunted by the Chelonites as well.[6] The bones of Midnight Whales are also full of valuable, toxic marrow,[7] and this marrow has the colorless hue of gant.[8]
