Skeletal Legion
- Comprising the victims of Pestilence
- Deathmarks: While the marks vary, all give the wraith the appearance of suffering a wasting illness; wraiths of Pestilence also have one or more of the following: darkened eye sockets, lusterless eyes, black patterns that highlight a skeletal jawline or black lines on the back of their hands that run from the gap between the fingers to the wrist seemingly outlining bony hands.

Note on Terminology
The Skeletal legion is also called the Gaunt Legion, the Legion of Bone, the Legion of Pestilence and the Sickies, though this last term is best used outside their hearing.
The Skeletal Lord is variously called the Lord of Bone, Lord Pestilence, the Gaunt Man and Mr Bonyhands. The last term only by his enemies and only ever in private.
