__TOC__

<div class="lore-list">

=== Blood-brother system ===
The '''blood-brother system''' is a brotherhood-oath structure that [[Samael]] established within the [[Legion]]. {{Src|last-winter#856}}

=== Blood-Mark Protocol ===
{{Idea|A proposed legal-magical mechanism by which Naevys Duskbloom takes a blood mark from a nobleman (a Count) to establish magical proof or a bond.|heralds-b#50|heralds-b#52}}

=== The Breath Census ===
{{Idea|A proposed primary component of Naevys Duskbloom's ritual: a census counting every form of "denied breath" in the city — survivors, dead, and Remains — said to be why she has not evacuated civilians.|heralds-a#37|heralds-a#38}}

=== Cloudkill ===
'''Cloudkill''' is a poison-gas spell that Naevys Duskbloom stored inside the undead she created. {{Src|heralds-a#17}} When one of these undead dies, the spell is released, and anyone who dies within it becomes an infested zombie in turn, producing a chain reaction. {{Src|heralds-a#17}}

{{Idea|Cloudkill is also framed as not a poison but a "denial of breath" — a concept significant in Aenarch, where breath signifies continuity, permission to remain, and the memory of flesh.|heralds-a#37|heralds-a#38}}

=== Colony Mind ===
'''Colony Mind''' is the telepathic link the [[Reminder]] maintains with all [[Remains]] within a one-mile radius, granting them coordination and advantage; if the Reminder dies, the link breaks and the Remains become feral hunters. {{Src|heralds-a#75|heralds-a#76}}

=== The Concordance of Last Breath ===
{{Idea|A proposed third and final stage of Naevys Duskbloom's ritual, formally named by Elidra Vossayne, meant to bind the Smokers and Remains into a single chain of command and turn Deadreach into a necromantic quarantine army.|heralds-a#104|heralds-a#112}}

=== The Concordance of Termination ===
{{Idea|A proposed working name for Naevys Duskbloom's ritual to establish a "Death Chain of Command," requiring a Breath Census, a Winter stabilization relic, an absolute-authority command sigil, a victim who has died and returned more than once, and 9-13 uninterrupted hours of casting.|heralds-a#26}}

=== Deadreach Memory Pressure ===
{{Idea|A proposed pressure mechanic, scored 1-6 and increasing after every encounter without resetting, that gradually raises a region's danger and events.|heralds-a#131}}

=== Echo Rite ===
{{Idea|A proposed secret Legion rite invoked when a divine contradiction threatens the Order.|last-winter#861}}

=== Necrotic Burst ===
'''Necrotic Burst''' is a death effect on [[Remains]] creatures: when one is reduced to 0 hit points, it explodes, dealing necrotic damage and inflicting infection on nearby creatures. {{Src|heralds-a#66|heralds-a#68}}

=== Pale Sigil ===
{{Idea|A proposed old code or doctrine by which the Cardinal relays a sealed memory directly to the Lord of Blood.|last-winter#865}}

=== Protocol Black Sigil ===
{{Idea|A proposed sealed dream-report protocol that a Legion Seer sends to Timbermere.|last-winter#863}}

=== The Ritual of Last Breath ===
{{Idea|A proposed grand ritual, Naevys Duskbloom's working name "the Concordance of Termination," by which she seeks to become the "Last Arbiter of Breath" over Rosereach; it would require a Breath Census, a Winter stabilization relic, an absolute command sigil, a victim who has died more than once, and 9-13 uninterrupted hours to complete.|heralds-a#37|heralds-a#38}}

=== Rose Rot ===
{{Idea|A proposed poison/necrotic ritual system, derived from the Cloudkill spell cast at Rosereach's original fall, said to produce the Smokers.|heralds-a#117}}

=== Seal Strain ===
{{Idea|A proposed counter, starting at zero, that secretly measures how recklessly the party approaches the Seal and sets the temple's response tier (0-4).|heralds-b#387}}

=== Stasis Seal Protocol 9 ===
{{Idea|A proposed spell protocol used to secure a Count through a "Protective Transfer."|heralds-b#50}}

=== Tumor Infection ===
{{Idea|A proposed infection mechanic spread by Remains attacks, dealing necrotic damage each round and causing a Remain Stalker to erupt from a victim who dies while infected.|heralds-a#66|heralds-a#68|heralds-a#74}}
