Whites Battle Ritual

The Whites Battle Ritual debuts in Golden Son as a haunting ceremonial fusion of judgment and warfare within the Golds' rigid color hierarchy. Ethereal barefoot Whites clad in snow-white cloaks stride into conflict bearing iron daggers and golden laurels, their triangular standards emblazoned with the scepter, sword, and laurel-crowned book that symbolize their judicial dominion over life and death. This ritual transforms the Whites from distant observers into active, almost spectral participants whose presence infuses battles with mythic authority and foreshadows deeper societal fractures. Across the series it underscores the ritualistic brutality that both sustains and undermines the Society's foundations.
