Reckoning Breath
Convergence of Court Gold and Aerie Copper
Caught Between Two Traditions
Aspects refreshed Jan 26, 2026
Born from the first winter when Court dragons and Aerie wyrms both exhaled simultaneously at sunset, their breaths mingling above the divide between formal judgment and intimate bond. That convergence crystallized into a singular force—neither purely Court verdict nor Aerie recognition, but the moment when all sixteen trials collapse into one inescapable assessment of true worthiness.
The Reckoning Breath appears as a visible exhalation in mountain air, shimmering between Court gold and Aerie copper depending on the angle of observation. Its temperature paradoxically shifts between frost-touch and warmth, never settling into either extreme. Where it condenses on surfaces, it leaves crystalline patterns that combine the geometric precision of Court judgment with the flowing curves of Aerie bonds.
Functions as the convergence point where formal Court verdicts and intimate Aerie partnerships merge into singular assessment, determining which challengers transcend their individual league to achieve series-wide remembrance.

Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
Forged in that first shared winter sigh, the Reckoning Breath is the arena’s most passive-aggressive artifact. It doesn’t judge you; it just hangs in the air, shimmering between frost and warmth, making you question every life choice that led you to a 15-foot putt for bogey. It’s the physical manifestation of “you’re not wrong, you’re just disappointing.” May the first owner have better luck.
adjusts headset, scales itching Welcome to the first owner ceremony for the Reckoning Breath. Jared Johnson stands on the tee, the shimmering exhalation of Tag #4 coiling around his wrist. It’s neither warm nor cold, just… present. Like a silent, disappointed parent watching you attempt a 30-foot putt. The arena holds its breath. Let’s see if his first throw earns a verdict or just a very long, frosty sigh.
