Culling Chant
Still Breathing After Three Hangs
The Chant Grows Before Each Cull
Aspects refreshed Apr 22, 2026
The Culling Chant wasn't born; it was extracted. The first entity to survive three consecutive culls heard it—a perfect, terrible melody—etched into their mind by the frontier itself as a reward and a burden. To carry the Chant is to hold the proof of your endurance and the seed of the next elimination.
The bag tag itself is cold to the touch and emits a sub-audible thrum. It causes faint harmonic vibrations in nearby metal. The bearer's shadow may move out of sync, silently mouthing the words. The perceived 'volume' of the Chant increases in the hours before a culling.
It serves as a trophy of extreme endurance, marking the bearer as a veteran of multiple culls, while its subtle, spreading influence makes it a focal point for factions seeking to control the Deadlands' rhythms.
