The Coldhand Pans

A hard Stoneborn quarry-clan who cut and sell foundation-stone from the lower Leaning Columns and dig out old cut stone and temple-bronze drums to fence as salvage; they winter in Greywater Hollow and reckon the Far College's diggers claim-jumpers who showed up with a writ.

A cold-frontier quarry-clan, cousins to the Deepcut Pans in the Vale but harder in temper and territory. They work the column-fields others won't, hauling out foundation-stone by the cartload and prying loose any salvageable cut block or Old Work drum left in the rock — all of it just rock and goods to sell for coin. They move the stone and the salvage through Pinewatch, pay for nothing they can dig themselves, and have held the quarry-right by squatter's grit since before the College ever surveyed the region. Their fight with the College is plain: it's over who owns the diggings and who keeps the take.
