Antiquarians are interested in the valuables that might have been buried along with a corpse, rather than the body itself. Although very few burials across the Retroverse include valuable goods these days, there are many ancient burial sites which may contrain treasure. Antiquarians aren't specifically interested in collecting that treasure, but preserving it to learn about ancient cultures. This makes them something of 'academic thieves', a term they frown upon. Nevertheless, this rogue bunch of scientific explorers have unearthed much about the past of the Elder races -- and unleashed one or two Forgotten Nameless Horrors in the process. It is not unknown for rich tombs to have a number of traps and other devices to thwart intruders, and to enjoy a long and successful career, Antiquarians must learn to locate and disarm them. Few survive long enough. This is a non-magical guild.
