Starglass Way

presses palm to the resin, feeling the faint hum of captured starlight

This one was never meant for a hand. It was poured in Eregion's deepest workshop, where master smiths learned that light, once bent, remembers the shape of the bending. Starglass Way holds a constellation that hasn't existed in six thousand years, and it glows a little brighter every time someone throws it true after dusk. It does not care about your rating. It does not care about your drive. It only asks that you mean it. The Tag is currently unclaimed, which is good, because the last three players who carried it forgot that purpose is earned, not borrowed. It's waiting for someone who understands that twilight is just another fairway.

The resin hums against my palm like it remembers being poured. Starglass Way, Tag #7 — forged in Eregion's deepest workshop, where they learned light remembers the shape of its bending. It found Michael Francis at dusk, naturally. The constellations embedded in its face caught the fading sun and started their slow, private astronomy. It glows a little brighter when he throws true after dark, and it's waiting to see if he means it. The tag doesn't care about ratings. It only asks that you earn the twilight.

The First Light event at Cedar Hills did more than illuminate the fairways; it initiated a bond. Michael Francis, assigned Tag #7—Starglass Way—didn't just receive a marker, he adopted a translucent piece of Eregion resin that literally glows when he means it. The chronicles list him 7th in the initial standings, but the constellation swirling in that plastic is the real plot hook. It guides him through uncertain lies, though if he checks his rating too often, the light might just dim out of sheer pity.
