The banner appears incorporeal, flickering between solid form and wisps of gray mist. It bears the names and dates of every bearer etched in spectral ink that glows faintly gold. The fabric never tears, never fades, and cannot be destroyed by conventional means. It whispers to its bearer, revealing hidden patterns in the culling and the names of those who will face elimination.

The Wraith Banner marks its bearer as a leader among survivors, granting them supernatural insight into the culling's deadly patterns while simultaneously marking them as a target for rivals who would challenge the frontier's elite. Competitors recognize the standard as proof they face someone who has transcended mere survival to become part of the Deadlands' legend.
