Mercator Pallidus' Corpse Harvesting Party^[4]

The Corpse Guild (Mercator Pallidus in High Gothic) is part of Necromunda's Merchants Guild and is responsible for overseeing the processing of the Hive World's dead into the food known as Corpse-Starch.^[1] It is from their workers that the Khornate Corpse Grinder Cults have grown.^[2]

Occasionally, the guild dispatches Corpse Harvesting Parties to collect raw materials, especially during gang wars. Led by Pale Consorts and their Bone Scrivener attendants, these parties find fresh bodies to be recycled into food for the hive. If a body is deemed suitable, the Corpse Grinders will butcher it for transportation to a Corpse-Starch factory.^[3]
