The Tumblebone Psalm manifests as a massive, desiccated tumbleweed skeleton that rolls without wind across the Deadlands, appearing at cullings. Its hollow branches are strung with human finger bones that click like wind chimes, and its core contains a glowing amber light that pulses in rhythm with the frontier's heartbeat. It carries the accumulated weight of forgotten souls, and its song can be heard before rankings update.

The Tumblebone Psalm is the frontier's recording mechanism - it rolls across leagues absorbing the final scores of the eliminated, transforming every failure into part of its eternal hymn. It creates a series-spanning connection across all leagues, with every elimination becoming part of a larger supernatural narrative.
