Remembrance Talon
Living Stone Talon of Alpenglow Judgment
Bound to Both Court and Aerie
Aspects refreshed Jan 24, 2026
When the first challenger proved worthy under both granite thrones and frontier skies, the mountains themselves grew this talon from living stone and scale—a permanent tool to inscribe names that deserve eternity. It emerged at the convergence point where Court scrutiny and Aerie bonds first recognized the same soul, crystallizing the moment when both traditions agreed: this one we keep.
Forged from crystallized remembrance and living granite veined with dragon scale, the Remembrance Talon exists as a single entity across both Court and Aerie simultaneously—a paradox of presence that reflects its role spanning all sixteen trials. When near truly worthy achievement, it radiates alpenglow gold, the same light that crowns the peaks at judgment hour. Its inscriptions cannot fade, weather, or be forgotten; once the Talon marks a name, the mountains hold it forever.
Acts as the mountains' hand in writing their own history, selecting and preserving only those moments and challengers that prove deserving of permanent recognition across both Court judgment and Aerie partnership.

Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
Forged from living granite and crystallized memory, the Remembrance Talon emerged with a singular, paradoxical purpose: to be the one tag that exists in both the Court and the Aerie at the same time. It is a physical impossibility with a petty attitude, already annoyed at the logistical headache of being in two places. It glows with alpenglow gold, not out of pride, but because it’s contractually obligated to highlight “worthy achievement.” Its inscriptions are permanent, un-fadeable, and utterly smug about it. The mountains may hold the names forever, but the Talon will be the one to remind you it wrote them.
The Remembrance Talon, Tag #13, shimmered into existence at the precise point where Court metrics and Aerie bonds first agreed on a single soul. It found Michael Davis, its first bearer, not on a mountaintop, but in the quiet moment after a round where his scorecard proved he’d already been playing by both sets of rules. The tag glowed with alpenglow gold, not in celebration, but in resignation. It had a lot of names to inscribe, and eternity is a very long time to be smug.
