A 990 round rating against a 954 card — plus 36 over rating — and Chris Norman leaves Antler Crown holding tag #1, one rung up from #2. He posted 46, which is precisely his personal average, so this wasn't a new ceiling; it was him holding his line while the field averaged 50.6 and spent the dusk session finding oaks. Four and a half strokes clear of the field average is what contender separation looks like under the Forest Lord's decree. The Withering Folio rode into Spanish Fork as a side quest, and it appears to have departed with a better courier than it arrived with.

1All-In league: Withering Folio stays with its holder — only its number moves with each week's standings.
Character Sheet
AI-written · FATE styleThe 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.
