Shadowflame Mark
Season Arc · Gondor Calls For Aid @ Jones Park
4All-In league: Shadowflame Mark stays with its holder — only its number moves with each week's standings.
Character Sheet
AI-written · FATE styleForged when the first Bag Tag was contested in a league that spanned multiple courses, each throw adding another layer of shadow and flame to its surface. The Shadowflame Mark represents the eternal struggle between light and darkness that defines every round, passed between champions whose triumphs and failures become part of its ever-shifting lore.
The Shadowflame Mark emits a faint glow that intensifies when held by the current league leader, its surface etched with shifting elvish script that changes based on the holder. It hums softly when carried between courses, as if singing of distant battles, and seems to remember every previous owner though it leaves no physical mark on the bag it rests in.
Functions as the binding force between leagues, carrying the spirit of competition across courses and serving as a living chronicle of the Fellowship's journey through Middle-earth.
Season Story
narrated by FlippyBrian Taylor posted a 65 and climbed from No. 4 to No. 3, gaining one position with none lost. His 795 round rating came in -13 below his 808 PDGA rating, so the card reads slightly below form, even though the 65 beat his 68.0 personal average by three strokes. It still finished 2.3 strokes behind the 62.8 field average, which is the kind of honest arithmetic the Order would rather keep in the silt with the Creek Relic. Tag 3 is a real step up, and the rating says the round was a little off.
Brian Taylor climbed from #2 to #1, claiming the One Tag with a 67—two strokes better than his personal average and level with the field average. His 797 round rating was -11 below his 808 rating: below form, even as the Storm Vigil’s top rank changed hands.
Brian Taylor stepped to the Gate Assembly with an 808 rating and walked away holding the Shadowflame Mark. The tag’s shifting elvish script probably recorded his 827 round rating as 'promising,' given he beat the field by 1.2 strokes. He started with assignment four, traded up two spots, and landed second in Amateur F - Green. The binding force between leagues is officially hitched to his bag for the season. Let’s hope the glow doesn’t blind him to the bogeys.
