The Brass Requiem vibrates with a low, mournful frequency that only its bearer can hear—a constant reminder that every reign ends. It grows heavier when approached by a challenger with true ambition, and lighter when the bearer has successfully defended their position. Some say it whispers the names of those it has destroyed.

The Brass Requiem is the weight that separates the pretenders from the true champions—a burden that only those who have earned their place in the hierarchy can carry without breaking. It transforms each defense into a statement of dominance.
