The Graveborn are one of the Eloko tribes that inhabit the eastern Mwangi Expanse town of Elokolobha, located on the boundary of the Screaming Jungle. Each male member of this tribe must survive a grueling rite of passage in which the youth must survive potent toxins and dig his way out of a deep grave to join the tribe as an adult. Ukabalimeli the Manslayer is the tribe's chieftain.

The Graveborn tribe claims the most territory of the city, almost the entire northern third of it, called the Ukabalimeli-Bara. Perhaps the oldest part of the city, it contains half-carved towers, temples, bridges, and barricades. The most impressive of these structures is Eastblock, a massive wedge of carved stone. Inside its hollow walls, a 1,000-foot-tall staircase permits entrance to the city without the need to climb the dangerous crags. Other important structures in Ukabalimeli-Bara are the Temple of Withering, the Fallen Gate, and a massive tower called Coldblock.
