The Warring Factions

Pool of the Earthbound Guardians

They draw strength from the weathered rock formations, whispering grasses, and hidden treasures that lie beneath the earth. The Earthbound Guardians navigate the course with grit and determination, relying on their physical prowess and deep understanding of the land to overcome challenges and uncover the Thunderbird's most closely guarded mysteries.
Pool of the Celestial Voyagers


The Celestial Voyagers are a group of disc golf warriors guided by the Thunderbird's cosmic wisdom. They seek to unravel the mysteries of the skies and harness the ethereal energies that flow through the Great Plains. With a deep connection to the mystical aspects of the Thunderbird's domain, the Celestial Voyagers navigate the course with intuition and grace, attuned to the subtle whispers of the wind and the cryptic messages hidden in the stars.

Thunderbird Chronicles: The Tempest Trials
In a world where the very heavens tremble, an ancient power reawakens. And the fate of realms rests in the hands of the chosen few.
From the heart of the Great Plains, a storm is brewing. A storm of legends. Of champions. Of destiny. This is Thunderbird Chronicles: The Tempest Trials.
Lyra Stargazer, enigmatic guide of the Celestial Voyagers. Gaia Stoneforge, unyielding warden of the Earthbound Guardians. Two leaders, two paths, one ultimate goal: to unravel the secrets of the Thunderbird and seize the power of the tempest.
But the road to glory is paved with peril. Mind-bending vortexes, shimmering chasms, living rock that shifts with every throw. In this crucible of champions, only the worthy will survive.
As ancient prophecies unfold and whispers of a world-shattering cataclysm grow, the Voyagers and Guardians must battle not only the fury of the elements, but the demons within. For when worlds collide, even legends can fall.
Shatter your limits. Embrace the impossible. Let the wings of destiny carry you.
This is Thunderbird Chronicles: The Tempest Trials.
Fate calls. Legends rise. In the eye of the storm, a champion will be born.
