OBSIDIAN LEGION
THE SERPENT ORDER
Grown in the same flooded tunnels that hid the illegal matches, the Legion treats defense as a religion. Their arena has no floodlights — the crowd watches by flare and headlamp, and visiting teams swear the floor moves.
CURRENT CREST // OFFICIAL TEMPLATECertified athletes.
Wraps carriers and squeezes the play dead. League-most forced fumbles, 2354.
Scores exclusively off turnovers. Has never taken a set play.
Slips contact like wet glass. Tacklers finish plays holding nothing.
Runs the slowest offense on tour and the most suffocating.
Specialist in the last thirty seconds. Two playoff daggers already.
The record, as kept.
Went unbeaten through the unlicensed tunnel circuit before the league was forced to notice.
Strangled three corporate rosters in the qualifier. Conceded eleven Cores all season.
Nobody wants the Legion in the playoff bracket. Everybody will get them.
Every mark the franchise has flown.
MK-I — THE TUNNEL MARK2349The coiled serpent was first chalked on Depth 3 tunnel walls to mark safe passage to illegal matches. The founding plate keeps the chalk-line roughness on purpose.
MK-II — CURRENT CREST2354Cast in black glass on promotion. The serpent's eye was left unpolished — 'a coil never shows its shine.'
