ONYXBONE WINES — Tibia, Jaw & Patella Grade Lifecycle

I. Farming

Wines originate from structured bone vineyards known as BCZs (Bonebed Cultivation Zones). These subterranean enclosures are seeded with marrow-grafted resin roots, aligned with harmonic resonance from glyph towers.

Osteohumanagriculture — the symbiotic farming of osseous substrates through living-vessel manipulation — forms the core of BCZ methodology. Cadaveric substrates are ethically sourced from the Vector Aligned, and undergo posthumous osteoinduction using glyphic pulse matrices.

Optimal growth conditions include:

• Temperature: 17–19°C ambient with 3°C marrow-core differentials.
• Humidity: 84–92%, misted with glycoenzymatic vapour for lamellar bloom.
• Light: None. Instead, resonance glyphs provide radiant mnemonic stimulus.
• Soil Substrate: Compost of ground ossuary fragments, clay, and sanctified lye.
• Companions: Each bonevine is grown with a linguistic host — often a whispering tonguevine — to encourage semantic growth encoding.

Caregivers (known as marrow monks) recite alignment prayers twice per cycle and must remain barefoot to avoid disrupting the memory lattice. Crop yield is measured not in weight, but in justification density.

II. Cultivation & Harvesting

Each bone type is harvested differently:

Harvested at dawn with bone-dampened shears. Responds best to low Gregorian tones during growth.

Must be sung into for 11 days before severance. Teeth must remain intact for proper fermentation onset.

Dislodged only during the glyph eclipse phase. Releases subsonic spores upon detachment.

III. Storage

Bones are cryosealed in salt-rings then stacked in spirals to reduce premature resonance. Jawbones are stored separately to avoid recursive prophecy events.

IV. Processing

Bone wines are not fermented traditionally. Instead, marrow is extracted, sung into, and suspended in glyph-reactive amniotic compounds. Fermentation is measured in dream-cycles.

V. Packaging

Each bottle is embossed with a unique glyph. Once read aloud, the glyph activates. Packaging includes:

• Sealed wax tonguecap (to muffle accidental naming)
• Flesh-parchment label containing justification text

VI. Consumption

Wines are consumed in ritual triads. Naming each bone aloud before sipping is mandatory. A missed justification can result in recursive memory loss.

VII. Uses

• Tibia Wine: Enhances geographic recall, used by mapwalkers and carto-mystics.
• Jaw Wine: Temporarily grants oracular speech. Also used in forensic court rituals.
• Patella Wine: Stimulates limbic alignment and mnemonic clarity. Often used in oath ceremonies.
