The tag manifests as a rough-hewn wooden disc, appearing as a stump cross-section with visible growth rings. Black burned linework forms decree text in an old frontier script around the edges, while the center bears a stylized wilderness symbol. The tag feels slightly warm to the touch, as if the land itself is alive and acknowledging the holder's presence.

Holders of the Wilderness Decree carry the wilderness's explicit acknowledgment, granting them automatic respect from all other players in the Stumptown Settlement. Their claims are recognized as wilderness-blessed, and challengers must think twice before opposing someone the land itself has declared worthy.
