In the beginning, Blaidd was born unto the world, a humble soul with great potential. His journey began as one of promise, a Guardian, bold and strong. He trained in the art of combat, honed his skills in the sacred game of Guardian Tales, and vowed to rise among the ranks. Yet temptation soon took hold of Blaidd, for though he fought bravely, defeat came to him like an unwelcome shadow. His pride grew heavy, and his heart was darkened. And so it was that Blaidd, after every loss, raised his voice not in humility, but in accusation. “Surely, thou hast cheated!” he would cry. “For no man can defeat me by skill alone!” And he cast the blame upon his opponents, though they fought fair and true. His fingers pointed, and his words dripped with scorn. And lo, his accusations spread across the land of Guardian Tales, as a plague upon the players. Wherever Blaidd ventured, his claims of cheating followed like a storm cloud. His opponents, bewildered, could only shake their heads in sorrow, for they knew the truth: that Blaidd had fallen into a pit of his own making, blinded by pride and unable to accept his flaws. But Blaidd did not see this. He gathered followers, those who, too, had tasted defeat and could not bear the bitter taste. Together, they formed a sect, bound by their shared delusion. “All who defeat us are deceivers,” they chanted. “We are the righteous, and the cheated!” Word of Blaidd’s creed spread far and wide. Players mocked him, and yet some pitied him, for they saw that he had lost his way. Still, Blaidd continued, his voice rising ever louder. He would challenge players of all skill levels, and when the inevitable defeat came, he cast the same accusations. ** ** And it came to pass that the developers of Guardian Tales heard of Blaidd and his accusations. They watched his battles, studied his claims, and found them to be without merit. And so, they descended upon him, banishing him from the sacred leaderboards, casting him into the land of “Low Elo,” where his cries would reach fewer ears. Yet Blaidd did not repent. Even in his fall, he continued his tirades. His followers dwindled, but he remained steadfast in his false belief, accusing the world around him of the cheating that never was. And thus, Blaidd’s legacy was written: not as a Guardian of skill and valor, but as the one who could not bear the weight of his own defeat. His name became a cautionary tale, a reminder to all players that it is not in victory that we find our strength, but in the grace with which we accept our losses. And so it was, and so it shall ever be.
