WHAT THE SIGN EXCELS AT
Duel light, testimony, truth brought before witnesses and reputation made public.
WHERE IT CAN BREAK
Truth can wound allies and the speaker as surely as enemies.
The Rooster's association with witnessed truth, dawn and duel law makes the public presentation of evidence a central issue. Reputation can be altered by what is shown as well as by what is proved. This is the rule of the sign; it does not certify that any particular accusation in the novels is true. Ji Mingxia and the Blade Court have their own reader-safe records.
