COMMUNITY REPORTS
The remainder of this article contains lore created collaboratively by the Blaseball community.

Background

Emblem Warhorse describes many things: a bar, a band, a Blaseball player, but most importantly, a community. The Emblem Warhorse is a dive bar in Seattle, and Emblem Warhorse is a collective of people who have at some point in their life found refuge within its walls, becoming Patrons of The Emblem Warhorse. Patrons can be found doing a variety of activities, including (but certainly not limited to) celebrating after a minor league blaseball game, chatting with fellow motorcycle gang members, performing in the group's band (titled Emblem Warhorse), performing at the bar's drag shows under the moniker Emblem Warhorse, or simply enjoying the atmosphere of the bar. A watchful reader may have noticed that some of these activities involve being named Emblem Warhorse; this stems from the bar’s motto: “If you’re here, you’re Emblem Warhorse.” Upon entering the bar, one's name becomes Emblem Warhorse for the duration of one's stay. All are Emblem Warhorse. All is Emblem Warhorse.

Warhorses who frequent the bar often note having never seen the bar before finding it, despite it being located across the street from the Queen Anne Dicks Drive In. Some speculate the bar is only visible when one is truly prepared to find it. The exception to this rule is when the bar hosts events, though visitors who are not meant to become a Patron often find themselves shooed out the door by The Emblem Warhorse itself. Visitors have reported experiencing this phenomenon differently, some finding chairs feeling more uncomfortable, others noticing the water tasting off or the music being just a little too loud. Some have taken to challenging The Emblem Warhorse, ready to prove themselves worthy candidates of the Emblem Warhorse name. It is unclear at this point if any such challenges have been successful.

After the name Emblem Warhorse appeared on the Seattle Garages active roster, at least one Warhorse has been chosen to play in each Garages game. How a Warhorse is chosen for play on a given day is unclear, as Patrons have given conflicting reports. It is possible that there is no clear way of deciding play, or that it changes from day to day. Some cite a competitive game of dlarts, others claim they simply feel the compulsion to pick up the bat and head out the doors.

Qualifications of becoming an Emblem Warhorse

Of the players who take up the moniker Emblem Warhorse, only two things are consistent:

• They have at one point in time been considered a regular at The Emblem Warhorse, and have been deemed worthy.

• They are required to wear the Emblem, a design featuring an upside-down chess knight, somewhere on their person.

The bar has a strict no quadruped policy, though there have been known instances of quadruped Emblem Warhorses managing to get around this rule.

Patrons of the Emblem Warhorse

Many people and beings have come to take up the moniker of Emblem Warhorse throughout time, as deemed worthy by The Emblem Warhorse bar. Below is one such Warhorse.

This time, the Interdimensional Rumor Mill reveals a Patron Rumor from IF-14.14 out of its Patron Rumor Registry...

King

King has been a long-term Patron of the bar- to the point that kie has grown up around many of it’s equally storied Patrons. Showing up right as the Grand Siesta started, kie was found tagging a backroom of the bar at the age of 12, with no clear method as to how kie got in. Considering this to qualify kir as worthy, kie became a Patron quickly, taking the moniker “King” during the Grand Siesta, as a reference to how “the knights of Emblem Warhorse keep [kir] safe, so [kie] must be the king.”

The Emblem is emblazoned on an eyepatch over kirs left eye- whilst the story for the necessity, and source, of the eyepatch changes every time it is brought up, long-term Patrons pieced together that the true story is far more simple- kie thinks it looks cool.

As the Grand Siesta ended 10 years later, the now-adult King had cemented kirself as a common sight, doing busywork for just about any Patron that asks, causing kir to often juggle multiple tasks a day, much to the gratitude of the bar as a whole. When not helping out, kie continues to vandalise Seattle, choosing to tag with The Emblem instead of any personal signifier, and practicing batting, in case kie is chosen to play down the road.

Trivia:

• King insists on doing dangerous things as kie pleases - and is usually kept in check by the other Patrons.
• Kie doesn't drink, instead asking for either a flat white coffee, or one of various sodas.
• As one of the Warhorses that undertake assistance of any kind, King is out of the bar a lot, in order to go and get anything the Patrons need. As such, a number of Patrons knew King before knowing about any form of Emblem Warhorse, a fact that frustrates King immensely.
• King has expressed kirs willingness on multiple occasions to fight challengers to the Bar; however, kie's offers have been rejected every time.
