Grave Meridian
Crossed the Line Into Legend
The Dust Knows My Name
In Deadlands folklore, the Meridian is the sun-scorched line where the living fear to tread—the threshold between the world of the quick and the realm of the remembered dead. Those who earn this name have been marked by the frontier itself.
The name carries the weight of finality and boundary—two concepts that define survival in the cursed frontier. It suggests a bearer who has stared down elimination and stepped across the line into legend.
A survivor's mark, earned through countless cullings. The Meridian is not given—it is crossed, and once crossed, the bearer is forever marked as one who has defeated death's embrace.

Brodie Duncan dragged the Grave Meridian into Dead Mans Hand and promptly lost the hand. An 867 round rating, 35 points below his 902 form, is the kind of performance that gets you remembered for the wrong reasons in this frontier. The +24 tag leap from 32 to 8 is pure structural luck—when the field folds around you, even a dead man walks away with better chips. adjusts headset The sponsors wanted a crossover; they got a cautionary tale about gambling with cursed gold in humid air.
