A.S. 78 Joint Classification Mandate
Five categories for the dead, one more queue for the living

Codex Ref. XIII.1.78-017
Anchor-Grave Transfer Deed
Where the grave becomes housing because hunger signs neatly
The anchor-grave transfer deed converts a family's burial claim into permitted ossuary presence, teaching grief to become tenancy and tenancy to remain revocable.

Where grief is weighed, tendered, and filed as solvent
Ash Banks convert cremains, bone-dust, and pledged future remains into bread, salt, absolution tokens, and dust futures while every Bureau calls the ash something useful.

Ashbinders
The dead are sacred, and the receipt is extra

Codex Ref. XIII.1.91-146
Bone-lime
The saint bears weight; the barrel bears a seal

Bone-Lime Consortium
The dead supply the material; the living supply the obedience

Clean Paper Plague of A.S. 199

First Ossuary Panic
The dead spoke, and the Synod answered with a form

Forewoman Rute
Collector of bone rent in the city she makes washable

Kilnmaster Hark
The fire schedule stands; the dead keep correcting the ledgers

Mercy Line
The rope where grief learned its tariff schedule

Bread has a price; relief requires permission

Codex Ref. III.3.07-006
Mercy Stamp clerks
The street cannot wait for the Ledger to finish grieving

Codex Ref. XIII.1.11-201
Mercy Stamps
The lawful hand guards grace; the ashen hand moves the queue
Two histories share one name: the confessor's restricted impression and Marrowgate's unofficial ash mark. Drax surveys their A.S. 201 standing, where forgiveness is guarded and speed has a price.
Codex Ref. XIII.1.13-201

Bring me your dead and I will find room for your living

Codex Ref. XII.27.04-001
Prefect Salvius
The man who made cleanliness a border with teeth
Prefect Salvius commands Marrowgate's clean lines, proving that hygiene becomes jurisdiction the moment a frightened city applauds the rope.

Saint Aurel of the White Wall
The saint who may have arrived after the invoice, yet holds the wall all the same

Saint-Bone Melting Acts A.S. 96
The statute that taught saints to bear weight, whether they had consented neatly or not
A.S. 96 legislation that turned surplus, damaged, disputed, duplicated, and unassignable relic fragments into deployable sanctified mortar for the Sagittal Line.
Codex Ref. VII.2.10-096
Sanitation Chapter
The clean line is a border, a sermon, and a threat
Mercy calls it sanitation; Marrowgate calls it the office that paints a white line and makes obedience look like hygiene.
Codex Ref. VIII.2.10-078
Stitchmarket
Where unlawful mercy learns to keep receipts
Marrowgate rationed lawful mercy until crime opened a clinic, priced the bandages, and learned to forge the city better than its clerks.
