Editing Black Caul Chiurgeons

The twisted mind of [[Weeping Jade]] skitters to life with the black science of necrosurgery.  The Abyssal sits in a cold operating theater in [[Thorns]], surrounded by plundered flesh and works dark colossi into existence.  But even as she builds her Black-Puppet Dragons, the armies of the [[Mask of Winters]] need smaller wonders - Vessels for the Nemissaries and armor for the living troops.  To that end, Weeping Jade has found ten ghost-blooded savants and trained them in the arts of necrosurgery.  She has given their black lives meaning and, in turn, they help her at her work.  They are:
