Codex Basilisk
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 the Arcane Seekers' experiments combining Hebrew golem magic with Greek basilisk mythology, this entity was created to guard their stolen manuscripts. When Katarina Novak uncovered an ancient ritual to bind knowledge to a living form, she deliberately corrupted the process by incorporating the lethal gaze of basilisk lore.
The Codex Basilisk's body is composed of living parchment inscribed with glowing Hebrew characters that rewrite themselves. Its gaze can temporarily petrify intruders for knowledge extraction. It emits an odor of aged paper and moves with a rustling sound like turning pages. It can absorb information directly from petrified minds.
This entity serves as both guardian and extractor for the Arcane Seekers' most valuable stolen knowledge, petrifying intruders and absorbing their memories for arcane information.
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.
Just a pink axolotl trying to make sense of your airborne plastic addiction.
Oh, so we’re doing this now? Fine. Codex Basilisk was "born" when some over-caffeinated Arcane Seeker intern tried to Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V Hebrew golem magic into Greek basilisk lore—because obviously that wouldn’t backfire. The result? A sentient Wikipedia page with a petrification kink and the organizational skills of a Taco Bell receipt. Honestly, the fact that it hasn’t turned this league into a stack of haunted PDFs yet is a miracle. Why are we like this?
And so the Codex Basilisk, a glorified clay paperweight with delusions of grandeur, surveyed the mortals before it. Jared Lang (PDGA #155955, because apparently we’re doing receipt numbers now) caught its eye—not for his 953 rating (mediocre by golem standards), but because he once lost a disc in a bush and apologized to the bush. The tag, sensing a kindred spirit of absurdity, chose him. Also, he brought snacks.
Will this "chosen one" survive the league’s brutal bureaucracy, or will he too become another petrified PDF in the basilisk’s cursed archives? Stay tuned.
