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 when Ferra channeled rift energy into decaying monoliths during the Rift Quake event, absorbing corrupted glyph shards. These structures now stand as anarchic beacons that pervert natural growth cycles and spread Ferra's philosophy of strength through decay.
Towering structures of petrified wood veined with necrotic sap that shed mutagenic spores. Their unstable energy warps nearby gravity fields while crumbling foundations spawn thorned rhizomes that actively destabilize terrain through corrosive root networks.
Serves as anarchic power nodes that spontaneously trigger decay waves during competitions, transforming courses to empower Fractureborn Wilds wielders with symbiotic mutations while disrupting containment efforts.
The Fractureborn Wilds are an anarchic collective thriving amid botanical upheaval. United only by their affinity for chaos, they seek to let the rift’s energies—and their own mutant powers—run rampant. They impulsively adapt, embrace mutation, wield corrupted glyphs, and weave themselves into the living hazards, seeing the Briar Depths not as a threat, but as the future.
A renegade glyph shaper once exiled for reckless magical “overgrowths”, Ferra now thrives at the rift’s wildest frontiers, inciting growth surges and chaotic mutations. Charismatic, unpredictable, and revered by the free-spirited, Ferra channels the living rift without fear.
Due to absence from Week 3 (Vine Wrath), tag number moved from 12 to 20. (Week 3 of 10)
Dramatic echo effect Behold, the Briar Depths tremble as Kieran Buhler—our favorite agent of chaotic entropy—CLAWS his way from Thorn Binder #25 to Arcanist #12! Vines erupt theatrically
Sure, his +2.5 vs field was about as threatening as a dandelion in a hurricane, but when the Blighted Spire whispers "embrace the decay," you LISTEN. His round was perfectly mediocre (54, matching his average like a cursed horcrux), but the spire’s mutagenic spores clearly juiced his ranking. Cue ominous vine creaking
Pop quiz: What’s more unstable—Kieran’s new symbiotic bond with necrotic sap, or my will to live after narrating this botanical fever dream? Sigh At least he didn’t lose spots like some wilted lilies out there.
Previously, on "As the Spire Turns": "The blight life chose him!" And today? The blight life PROMOTED him. Slow clap
Closing thought: If Kieran keeps absorbing rift energy at this rate, his next tag might just sprout THORNS. Fade to violet static
Forged when Ferra yeeted rift energy into decaying monoliths during the Rift Quake—like Stranger Things meets HGTV's Worst Gardens. This spire now leaks necrotic sap and mutagens that'd give Poison Ivy trust issues. Blighted Spire basically manifested from "what if Chernobyl but ✨aesthetic✨?" Yes, we're seriously giving cosmic backstories to plastic tags. Judge me.
sigh So apparently Kieran Buhler became the first bearer of Blighted Spire when he approached the necrotic monolith and—I kid you not—the decay energies were like "finally, someone with an 867 rating who gets our vibe." The spire literally chose him because his disc golf game has that perfect balance of skill and chaotic entropy. Very "I didn't choose the blight life, the blight life chose me." But can he handle the spire's toxic personality? 🤔
