1All-In league: Ashen Decree stays with its holder — only its number moves with each week's standings.
Character Sheet
AI-written · FATE styleThe Ashen Decree was forged in the first culling, when the Deadlands claimed its first victims and demanded a law to govern all who would follow. The original sheriff who penned it burned his own hand to the bone as proof of its binding power, and his ash-written words have bound every competitor since.
The Decree manifests as a scorched parchment made of compressed ash that never disperses, with words that seem to write themselves in ember-glow when a survivor achieves greatness. It radiates gentle heat like a dying campfire. Its power is one of permanence - once written, the Decree cannot be undone - and binding force - it compels all competitors to adhere to its cosmic laws.
The Ashen Decree serves as both warning and promise - it reminds competitors that the culling is absolute while promising that those who survive will be remembered forever in the Deadlands' spectral ledger.
