Despair Duchess

Forged in the cold, damp heart of the Pit of Despair, this tag is a monument to stubborn survival. It doesn't just want to be carried; it wants to be a constant, petty reminder that you're only one bad shot away from being back in the hole. It's not a trophy—it's a ghost, and it's haunting your bag.

Ian Dahlen Flor, meet your new passenger. Tag #21, the Despair Duchess, has chosen its first vessel. It watched you survive the gauntlet, and now it will ride in your bag, a cold, damp reminder of the Pit you conquered. Every future round will be a test to see if you can carry its weight without being pulled back down. The haunting begins now.

The Duchess doesn't care about excuses; she cares about weight, and she's settling into his bag now like a ghost that knows exactly where to haunt. The gauntlet awaits, Ian. Let's see if you carry her weight or get dragged back down.
