Aspects refreshed Jan 26, 2026
When the first worthy challenger earned recognition from both Court and Aerie, their achievement didn't merely fade into memory—it compressed into the bedrock itself, creating the first stratum. Each subsequent worthy deed has added another layer, building a geological record the mountains can never forget, each stratum echoing the achievement forward through stone.
Manifests as luminous sedimentary bands within living granite, each layer corresponding to a specific worthy achievement across either tradition. Strata pulse with golden light for Court achievements or copper warmth for Aerie bonds, creating a visual timeline of earned recognition. Generates low-frequency harmonic resonance when new achievements align properly with existing layers, audible to dragons but felt as vibration by challengers. Each stratum becomes more compressed and crystalline over time, transforming worthy deeds into permanent geological features that can never erode.
Acts as the bridge between ephemeral achievement and eternal remembrance, determining which deeds deserve to become part of the mountains' permanent memory while preserving all previous layers of earned recognition.

Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
Forged from the first worthy deed that both Court and Aerie grudgingly acknowledged, this tag is a geological record of pure, crystalline pettiness. Its layers don't just glow—they judge. Each new stratum is a permanent, un-erasable reminder that someone, somewhere, did something impressive enough to annoy a mountain. It resonates with the smug satisfaction of a job well-documented.
