checks clipboard Ben Allen went 53 at River Bottoms for a 976 — plus-52 over his 924 rating, 3.9 strokes clear of a field averaging 56.9, and a stroke better than his own 54.0 personal average. By every number that matters, that's the round of his season. By the only number the Dust Arbiter reads — who signed in — it's tag 3 out, tag 4 in, one rung down. Somewhere beneath the rising Jordan, the Kraken is awake, the white stakes are drowning, and the ledger has apparently decided that quality is a rounding error.

Character Sheet
AI-written · FATE styleThe Dust Arbiter was formed from the literal dust that settled on the original Salt Lake Accords parchment during the marathon signing session when the treaty was first created. As scribes debated clauses through the night, the dust became saturated with magical intent, eventually coalescing into a sentient entity that has witnessed every season since, filing away every judgment rendered and every precedent established.
Its body is composed entirely of swirling dust particles that constantly rearrange into tiny documents and contract clauses. Where a face would be, there is only a smooth surface that occasionally displays shifting numbers—current ratings, historical peaks, and forgotten PDGA numbers from seasons past. Its hands end not in fingers but in ornate quills that drip golden ink, ready to render judgment. It constantly sheds particles that reform into new documents wherever it walks.
The Dust Arbiter appears whenever players reference past seasons, invoke ancient precedent, or cite rules that newer signatories have forgotten. It serves as the living reference for treaty clauses most players don't know exist, making it the ultimate authority on the Accords' accumulated history. When factions dispute treaty interpretations, the Arbiter renders final judgment based on what precedent demands.
Season Story
narrated by Flippyadjusts headset Ben Allen fired 54 at River Bottoms — a 971 against a 924 rating, +47 over his own number and 2.8 strokes better than a field that averaged 56.8. He also matched his personal average to the decimal, which is a strange way of saying his ceiling has become his floor, and it still cost him the second tag. The Dust Arbiter's infinite ledger doesn't grade on rating differential; it grades on who else bothered to show up and file. Salt in chains, white stakes under water, and the man who beat the field by nearly three strokes is now holding paperwork instead of tag #2.
The Dust Arbiter is detouring to River Bottoms. Ben Allen gets custody of the swirling paperwork for Wednesday Night Brine Court. It’s a side quest in the main arc—same infinite ledger, fresh mud on the robes. The ratings don’t sleep, and apparently, neither does the paperwork.
