Chris Norman opened Creekside Oath at 45, matching his average but absolutely dismantling the field's 51.4. A 997-rated round on the tribunal floor warrants a promotion to first place, and he gained nine tags to prove it. He’s carrying the Withering Folio, a heavy tome where failure spreads like fungus; apparently, his opponents' scores caught the contagion. The ink is definitely spreading faster than the field’s panic. adjusts headset Contractually, this is just season one, but the Folio looks hungry already.

The Withering Folio was created when the first player to ever suffer a catastrophic rating drop under the Accords found their failing contract touched other players' documents, creating a magical contagion that the Accords themselves could not contain and that continues to grow with each generation of cursed players.
An impossibly heavy tome bound in leather that subtly shifts and breathes. Its cover bears the pressed seals of broken contracts, each one a small death sigil. The pages inside are filled with player names written in ink that slowly spreads and multiplies like fungal growth, with new pages constantly emerging from its spine. It radiates warmth when actively spreading consequences.
The Withering Folio actively punishes players who have ignored warnings by making their failures contagious - affecting tournament outcomes, opponent performances, and league standings. It serves as the multiplier of curse effects, transforming single-player rating declines into cascading consequences across the league network.
