Warden Pine
Season Arc · Battling Bishops @ NC Wesleyan University Disc Golf Course
4All-In league: Warden Pine stays with its holder — only its number moves with each week's standings.
Character Sheet
AI-written · FATE styleThe Warden Pine first appeared during the Tower Vigil, when a veteran player noticed that the painted bishop face on the water tower had begun to fade where floodlight glare met weather. They organized a quiet restoration effort among the Pine Mystics, and on the night the tower's shadow intersected the second survey post at 8:17 PM, a tag was found resting against a loblolly trunk nearby—etched with a sentinel figure standing among pines, hood pushed back in watchful attention. The player took it as confirmation that the woods had witnessed their care.
The Warden Pine tag is forged of verdigris-bronze the color of pine needles in winter light, with the etched figure standing among stylized pine trunks that rise the full height of the tag's face. The survey-chain link is polished but worn, its rust concentrated at the bottom curve where it has rested against countless bag straps. The brass shows finger-polish on the raised surfaces, with verdigris preserved in the deeper grooves like sap pooled in bark.
Guards the wooded boundaries of the back nine, ensuring no harm comes to the loblolly stands, the water tower's painted face, or the creatures within the moss-veined oaks. The Warden Pine holder is expected to walk the perimeter between rounds, noting fallen limbs, erosion, and any sign that the woods need tending. They are the faction's quiet muscle, the one who picks up litter without being asked and reports the fallen limb before anyone else notices.
Season Story
narrated by Flippyadjusts headset Week one of the Vestry Convocation. Jared Johnson carded a 45 on a layout where the field averaged 46.1—dead on his personal average, four positions better than his starting assignment. Sometimes consistency is the drama.
The Warden Pine now rests in his bag, verdigris-bronze and watchful. A sentinel who cannot pass a fallen limb without stopping has found a keeper whose 934-rated round suggests he also refuses to walk past a mistake. The loblolly stands are in quiet hands.
Four spots gained from assignment number eight. The woods graded his form and handed him a passing mark. Whether the sentinel survives hole 3's shule—that chapter writes itself next week.
The Warden Pine doesn't guard anything yet. It watches. Verdigris-bronze, worn survey chain, a sentinel who pushed back his hood to see what you're doing with that putter. Found at the intersection of tower shadow and survey post, which is exactly the kind of specific detail that sounds profound and means nothing. It's waiting for a player worthy of its vigilance. Or at least one who won't lose it in the shule on hole 3.
adjusts clipboard Tag #8, the Warden Pine, found its first keeper in Jared Johnson — a player who treats every approach like the woods are grading his form. The verdigris settled into his bag like it had been waiting for a steward who respects the watch. Consider the sentinel officially on duty.
Jared Johnson carded a 45 at the Vestry Convocation — dead on his personal average, 1.1 better than the field, and good for 8th place in Amateur H-Blue. The bishops on the water tower tracked every drive; the loblollies kept their opinions to themselves.
Enter the Warden Pine: verdigris-bronze, survey-chain rust at the bottom curve, sentinel figure standing among pines with his hood pushed back. Found where tower shadow meets survey post at 8:17 PM, which sounds like scripture and surveys like a maintenance schedule. The tag's trouble is it cannot pass a fallen limb without stopping. Jared's trouble is he landed exactly where he always lands. Perhaps a watchman who picks up litter unprompted is the companion a consistent player deserves.
