The Marks

The graveyard's heraldry

Every rank, every verdict, every house carries a mark — drawn in the graveyard's own language: thread, pins, spools, and shears. Learn the marks and you can read any plate in the archive at a glance.

The Monster Ranks

Monster

The shepherd's horns — the once-in-a-lifetime apex.

Ghost

The veil — seen once, then gone.

Canon

The spool — everything winds from it.

Cult

Three pins, one point — devotion of the few.

Archive

The specimen tag — catalogued, remembered.

Wardrobe

The hanger — lived in, worn weekly.

Not our lane

The snipped thread — let it go.

The Verdicts

COP

The stitch made — thread pulled through, done.

PASS

The shears. Walk away clean.

MAYBE

A loose knot — one fact from tightening either way.

The Houses

Each house's emblem is built from its design language — a deconstructed stockman, a mended heart, a sashiko patch — never its mark. The lore belongs to everyone; the logos don't.
