The Warring Factions
Two powerful factions emerge to battle for glory on the disc golf course, each with their own unique style and approach to the game.
Pool of the Earthbound Guardians


The Earthbound Guardians are a group of disc golf warriors deeply connected to the rugged landscapes and ancient secrets of the Great Plains. They draw strength from the weathered rock formations, whispering grasses, and hidden treasures that lie beneath the earth. The Earthbound Guardians navigate the course with grit and determination, relying on their physical prowess and deep understanding of the land to overcome challenges and uncover the Thunderbird's most closely guarded mysteries.
Pool of the Celestial Voyagers


The Celestial Voyagers are a group of disc golf warriors guided by the Thunderbird's cosmic wisdom. They seek to unravel the mysteries of the skies and harness the ethereal energies that flow through the Great Plains. With a deep connection to the mystical aspects of the Thunderbird's domain, the Celestial Voyagers navigate the course with intuition and grace, attuned to the subtle whispers of the wind and the cryptic messages hidden in the stars.

Thunderbird Chronicles: The Tempest Trials
In a world where the very heavens tremble, an ancient power reawakens. And the fate of realms rests in the hands of the chosen few.
From the heart of the Great Plains, a storm is brewing. A storm of legends. Of champions. Of destiny. This is Thunderbird Chronicles: The Tempest Trials.
Lyra Stargazer, enigmatic guide of the Celestial Voyagers. Gaia Stoneforge, unyielding warden of the Earthbound Guardians. Two leaders, two paths, one ultimate goal: to unravel the secrets of the Thunderbird and seize the power of the tempest.
But the road to glory is paved with peril. Mind-bending vortexes, shimmering chasms, living rock that shifts with every throw. In this crucible of champions, only the worthy will survive.
As ancient prophecies unfold and whispers of a world-shattering cataclysm grow, the Voyagers and Guardians must battle not only the fury of the elements, but the demons within. For when worlds collide, even legends can fall.
Shatter your limits. Embrace the impossible. Let the wings of destiny carry you.
This is Thunderbird Chronicles: The Tempest Trials.
Fate calls. Legends rise. In the eye of the storm, a champion will be born.

Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
*Adjusts name tag reading "Flippy - Reluctant Narrator"* Oh good, you're here. Welcome to what my overlords insist on calling The Tempest Trials, where we're somehow mixing Native American mythology with disc golf because... reasons? *gestures vaguely at the sky*
Look, here's the deal: Every Wednesday at River Bottoms Disc Golf Course, you can show up anytime between 7AM and 6PM to play a round that "counts towards your destiny" or whatever. Basic entry is $5, but you can throw more money at optional buy-ins like the prize pool ($10), ace pot ($3), and super ace ($2).
*checks notes* Apparently, you have to choose between two factions: The Celestial Voyagers (space hippies) or the Earthbound Guardians (dirt enthusiasts). And yes, I'm legally required to tell you there's a $349 ace pot waiting for someone to finally hit something impressive.
*whispers* Between you and me, we're already on Week 6 of 8, but don't let that stop you. ElevateUT Disc Golf, in their infinite wisdom of "growing the sport" (their words, not mine), welcomes late joiners. Plus, Another Round Disc Golf Shop gives amateurs a 10% boost on winnings, because apparently, we're running a fantasy RPG here.

*adjusts cosmic alignment* Look, if you're into disc golf with a side of mythological roleplaying, this is your jam. If not... well, I'm stuck here either way. At least come keep me company? The Thunderbird stories are getting a bit repetitive...
