Black Mourning Ribbons

Black Mourning Ribbons first appear in Morning Star as a somber Sons of Ares tradition, woven into beards and hair to honor the fallen Ragnar. Their presence marks a turning point in the rebellion, transforming personal grief into a collective emblem of resistance. Over the course of the series, the ribbons evolve from a localized mourning practice into a broader symbol of sacrifice and solidarity among the oppressed, reflecting the widening scope of the war.
