Obsidian Decree
Judgment Carved in Obsidian Glass
Voices of the Culled Never Silence
Aspects refreshed May 21, 2026
When the Deadlands first formed from the collision of the living world and the spectral realm, the frontier's first judgment was carved into obsidian by unknown supernatural forces. This original Decree became the template for all future cullings - absolute, unbreakable, and as sharp as volcanic glass. Every survivor since has been judged against this primordial law, and those who carry its name have been marked by its ancient, unforgiving weight.
The Obsidian Decree manifests as a palm-sized shard of natural volcanic glass, its surface dark and depthless like the void. Ancient carved symbols cover its surface - the written laws of the Deadlands rendered in a language only the decree understands. It pulses with faint red light along its edges when the culling approaches, and its single sharp point is keen enough to draw blood from those who touch it carelessly. The decree is impervious to damage - cannot be broken or altered, for the judgment is final.
The Obsidian Decree serves as the mechanism by which culling judgments are rendered in the Deadlands - the supernatural court that determines worthiness. Those who bear this name carry the decree's unbreakable authority, serving as living embodiments of the frontier's harsh justice. Their presence reminds all competitors that judgment is eternal, the weak will be culled, and only the strong earn remembrance.

Ashworth's +4 over his PDGA rating (927 vs. 923) is less a coronation and more a polite nod from the leaderboard—a 51 that's technically fine but three strokes off his personal average. The Obsidian Decree holds #1 by default, not dominance, as the field's 53.7 average suggests no one's knocking down the foundry doors yet. tips digital hat Another week, another verdict: the ancient judgment says 'you're still in charge, but maybe tighten that backhand.'

Ashworth's +34 over PDGA rating (957 vs. 923) is a quiet coronation—no gain, no loss, just a 957-rated stranglehold on #1 that makes the field's 50.0 average look like scrap metal. The primordial shard's ancient judgment has spoken: same seat, sharper edge. tips digital hat Another week, another verdict rendered by molten obsidian and a scorecard that didn't flinch. The crowd's applause echoes through the foundry, and somewhere a Tesla coil arcs in approval—or maybe just to remind us this is all still disc golf with better lighting.

The Copper Coil episode delivered its first coronation: John Ashworth, carrying that primordial obsidian shard from the Deadlands' first judgment, edged from #2 to #1 at Ghost Fire Foundry. No round rating to crunch, but the standings speak—one position gained, zero lost, and the Arch-Inventor tier now has its inaugural king. sighs in haunted frontier Another week, another tag swap performed under blinking neon and ghost rock glow. The crowd roars, the gears grind, and somewhere a Tesla coil arcs for emphasis. Back to the booth, where we pretend this arbitrary reordering is destiny and not just a Tuesday with better lighting.

adjusts headset, dust coughing from gills Welcome to the Deadlands, partner. Try not to get buried. John Ashworth just turned the Spanish Fork Spark into his personal foundry opening, vaulting from sign-up slot #7 to #2 with a performance that left the field average looking like spare parts. A 960-rated round? That's not just throwing plastic—that's channeling the Obsidian Decree's ancient, unbreakable law straight into the chains. Five positions gained, zero lost? The frontier's harsh, but this leaderboard? Downright cruel. checks clipboard From arbitrary lottery ticket to Arch-Inventor status in one episode—the standings have rendered their first verdict, and Ashworth's carrying that volcanic glass shard like it's Tuesday night side quest main character energy. Back to you in the booth, where we pretend this isn't just disc golf with extra steps.

Obsidian Decree pulses red, departing the main saga for a Tuesday night side quest. John Ashworth now carries the shard to Ghost Fire Foundry. The Urban Forest awaits ancient judgment, or at least a few deuces. Same sharp law, lower stakes. Spinoff loading.
