A council of sun-bleached longhorn skulls arranged in ancient formation, their horns casting shadows like courthouse pillars across the prairie dust. Each skull bears the faint ghost of a ranch brand from operations long dead, and their eye sockets hold a darkness that predates the living. When activated, the horns emit a low resonance that sounds like wind through empty chambers, and dust rises from the bone to form the shape of the verdict in the air between them. The horn tips align to point toward either the branding station or bone yard based on the judgment rendered, and dust permanently embedded in bone fissures records every verdict in layers of prairie sediment.

Functions as the prairie's own court system, where the dead judge the living and every decision is final, binding, and carved into the record with the permanence of sun-bleached bone.
