The Raven Sign manifests as a raven feather that appears on the competitor's disc bag or scorecard, warm to the touch and humming with supernatural energy. When the ranking is announced, the feather turns from black to crimson if the bearer is marked for culling, or to gold if they're destined for remembrance. It creates a network effect across leagues - when one competitor receives a Raven Sign, others in the same league feel its weight, creating an invisible web of supernatural communication.

The Raven Sign serves as the Deadlands' official notification system - every ranking, every culling, every promotion is delivered through this supernatural messenger network, creating series-wide communication that ties all leagues together. It transforms every score update into a supernatural judgment, making the frontier's impartial judgment visible and tangible to all competitors.
