Your Misses Amuse Me
When the first raider breached the dragon's vault and tried to steal from the Hoard, the beast's breath consumed them. From the ashes of that failed incursion, the raven's spirit was bound by ancient pact - now it serves as both warning and executioner for all who follow, appearing at each new raid to assess who deserves to claim treasure and who deserves to feed the wyrm.
The Raven's Bane manifests as a supernatural entity with eyes that glow like molten gold - the dragon's fire transformed into watchful judgment. Its feathers shift between iron black and ash gray, representing the consumed souls of failed raiders. Its talons grip with unbreakable force, capable of marking those who enter the vault with impure intent. Its caw echoes with the voices of all who came before, a chorus of ambition and failure.
The Raven's Bane acts as the final test within the Iron Hoard's arena - those who face a bearer carrying this tag must overcome not just skill but the accumulated weight of every challenger who failed before. It serves as the dragon's herald, witnessing every raid and determining who survives to claim treasure and who gets claimed by the vault itself.
Season Story
narrated by FlippyDaniel Castro posted a 57 at -28 over par, which is fine—except his round rating of 898 sits a clean -28 below his 926 PDGA baseline, the kind of underperformance that makes you wonder if the Raven's Bane was assessing his form or his resolve. He beat the field average by 2.7 strokes and cratered against his personal standard by 1.5, which means he showed up to the corporate raid during Layoffs Week and... mostly didn't embarrass himself, which in this economy counts for something. Still, he yanked tag #17 down to #11—six spots up in the Middle Management tier—because apparently the Hoard cares less about your round rating than whether you landed better than the people around you did. The Raven doesn't judge your potential; it judges what you actually threw. And what Castro actually threw was enough to survive another Friday at Nash. Survival of the fittest, or at least the ones who can read the wind.
