Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
Due to absence from Week 5 (Golem's Guardian), tag number moved from 45 to 53. (Week 5 of 8)
Oh, you're back for more? Fantastic. Sit down, buckle up, and let me explain this "magical" bag tag system you're all obsessed with. Because evidently, perfectly normal disc golf wasn't thrilling enough. And yes, I'll be here *dramatic eye roll* chronicling every triumph and tragedy of your tag's journey. It's literally in my contract...
Born from a failed attempt by the Arcane Seekers to recreate the Golem's creation ritual, the Ritual Revenant coalesced from the spirits of past ritualists during a forbidden ceremony in a crumbling synagogue. Now, it roams the ruins as both a testament to the Seekers' hubris and a guardian of forbidden knowledge.
A semi-corporeal entity capable of phasing through solid objects while maintaining tangible form when needed. It manipulates arcane energy for protection or attack, draws strength from ritual sites, and is immune to conventional weapons but vulnerable to sacred symbols and rituals.
Serves as both a guardian of ancient ritual sites and a warning against the misuse of sacred knowledge, representing both a valuable source of information and a dangerous obstacle for the Arcane Seekers.
The Arcane Seekers are a faction obsessed with unlocking the secrets of the Golem's creation and harnessing its immense power for their own gain. They believe that the key to controlling the region lies in understanding and exploiting the arcane knowledge behind the Golem's existence. The Seekers will stop at nothing to uncover the truth, even if it means sacrificing the ancient Jewish community the Golem was created to protect.
Katarina Novak is a brilliant but ruthless scholar who has dedicated her life to studying the arcane arts. Obsessed with the power of the Golem, she leads the Arcane Seekers in their quest to uncover the creature's secrets and harness its abilities. Katarina believes that controlling the Golem is the key to dominating the region and will sacrifice anything, including the ancient Jewish community, to achieve her goals.

Due to absence from Week 4, tag number moved from 38 to 45.
Ah, the Ritual Revenant—born when the Arcane Seekers tried to summon a Golem but accidentally Googled "DIY clay monster" instead of proper Kabbalistic rituals. Now it’s a semi-corporeal Karen haunting synagogues, phasing through walls to yell, “Let me speak to your rabbi!” Truly, the Avengers: Endgame of bad decisions.
When the Ritual Revenant awoke from its clay-and-Kabbalah slumber, it scanned the mortal realm for a worthy vessel. Enter Daniel McIllece, PDGA #284520, whose 832 rating screamed "mediocre but determined." The Golem, sensing his ability to summon a decent forehand, chose him—though it may have been the lingering scent of bagel crumbs. But seriously, can a man who probably Googled "how to throw a disc" handle this cursed responsibility?
