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-52.963 out of its Patron Rumor Registry...

Emblem “Warbler” Warhorse is a patron of the Emblem Warhorse. An avid birdwatcher, they came across the bar when looking for a rare bird spotted nearby. They visited several more times while watching for the bird due to its convenient location. They eventually earned the status of Patron when the bird accidentally flew into the bar, and Warbler used their ability to imitate bird calls to coax the frightened creature back outside.

Since then, Warbler has become a regular at the Emblem Warhorse, offering their extensive knowledge of birds to the other patrons. They especially like to organize birdwatching trips, which they’ve begun inviting the other Garages to as well. Malik and Nolanestophia are not allowed on these birdwatching trips, as Warbler believes that cats (and by extension, catpeople) should be kept indoors.

Blaseball is something Warbler doesn’t show much interest in - they only began going to the games to observe the birds. However, they closely follow the careers of the League’s various avian players, and especially prizes the signature of Gweer Gwiffin they have in their Audoblon field guide. It’s their goal to get the signature of every avian player in the same guide.

Warbler mainly takes to the field when the forecast calls for Birds, and spends more time watching the birds or coaxing them into birdhouses than they do actually playing the game. When on the field they use their tripod as their bat, and The emblem of the Emblem Warhorse can be found emblazoned on the binoculars they wear around their neck.
