checks clipboard Jeff Christensen signed for a 70 at Chain Breath while the field averaged 55.6, a +14.4 afternoon that carried the #2 tag down to #8. The rating came back 580, which would sting less if it hadn't landed exactly on Christensen's 70.0 personal average — not a collapse, a plateau, and the plateau has a number now. The Ninefold Warden exists to thread every signature to its number, so consider this one filed: six places of weight, logged in iron, no appeal window mentioned.

Hood Shifts With Current Ratings
Golden Tokens Mark Each Signature
Born from the first player to sign the Salt Lake Accords when their rating 'dropped through the floor,' Ninefold Warden became the Accords' living embodiment of the rating system. Every signature on the treaty created a thread connecting signatory to number, and Ninefold Warden threads those connections, present at every league match to witness the numeric dance of competition.
A towering figure in deep charcoal robes, its hood perpetually shifting between numbers 0-999. When it writes, the quill drips golden ink that solidifies into small numeric tokens. Its cloak's hem frays into misty tendrils labeled with players' current ratings, and a silver chain loops from its belt bearing nine links—one for each tier of the system.
Tracks and validates all rating changes within B Pool, appearing after each round to adjust the cosmic ledger and manifest any 'death curse' rating drops as physical weight upon the affected player's next throw.
Season Story
narrated by FlippyJeff Christensen opens their Cold Iron account holding bag tag #2 — a starting placement the Winter Court handed over without a single signature required. The round itself read 70 against a field average of 55.6, 14.4 strokes on the wrong side of the ledger, and a 580 rating to file under 'first evidence.' Chain Breath was exactly as advertised: two loops of negotiating with air that has opinions, and the chains rattling back their counteroffer. The Ninefold Warden threads the number in anyway; it starts at two, which means it starts with something to defend.
