"I'll send a team to the Pioneer Territory to buy bones."
Before the Kurd War, Medivh had avoided the Pioneer Territory's forces and excavated bones nearby.
After the Kurd War, once he had reached an agreement with the Gewalt Federation's envoy, Medivh began excavating bones on a large scale.
The Gewalt Federation forbade the Pioneer Territory's forces from attacking Kurd. In return, Medivh could not attack the Pioneer Territory's forces.
The Skeleton Legion couldn't go to the Pioneer Territory to excavate corpses. The territory's forces had come to him to trade on their own initiative, which suited him perfectly.
After some negotiations, Medivh and the Pioneer Territory's forces reached a deal that satisfied both sides.
To the Pioneer Territory's forces, the bones underground were useless, cost-free resources. Selling them meant pure profit.
To ensure the bones' quality, Medivh didn't have the Pioneer Territory's forces deliver them. Instead, he sent a skeleton caravan to the territory to buy them.
That way, high-quality bones wouldn't be damaged during transport due to improper storage.
If the Pioneer Territory's forces didn't want the hassle, the skeleton caravan also offered free excavation services.
They only had to set aside a plot of land, then sit back and wait for payment.
When buying bones, Medivh didn't sort them by grade. Intact bones of every age fetched the same price.
He didn't want outsiders to know that the strength of the Time Skeletons he resurrected was tied to their historical depth.
Besides, this information gap let him buy older bones for rock-bottom prices, at an even lower cost.

Fresh corpses were banned from trade, but dry bones buried for many years weren't on the prohibited list.
