The Final Judgment Flows Of Fire And Brimstone
River Of Punishment is a Common Event from the Stars Age, costing 5 faith. With Discern, you can choose to either deal 5 damage to a target enemy Being or deal 2 damage to all enemy Beings, giving you the ability to strike precisely or punish broadly.
The River of Blood, Justice Poured Out
High in the heavens flows the image of a mighty river, a river of blood, descending from the final battle when the King returns in glory. This is the moment of Armageddon, when the armies of the beast fall by the sword from the mouth of the Lord. It's not a trickle, it's a flood, a divine reckoning as the Word Himself slays with His truth. The river flows red with justice fulfilled.
That same river doesn’t end with blood, it blazes into a river of fire. The beast and the false prophet are seized and cast alive into a lake burning with fire and brimstone. The stars have shown this scene for generations, portraying a river of destruction prepared for all who have rejected the Lamb. It’s a fire that will never be quenched, an everlasting reminder that God's judgment is true.
This card's verse is Isaiah 34:9:
"And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch"
From above, the river stretches across the sky as a warning and a declaration: righteousness will rule, and rebellion will be silenced. This is the final end for darkness, what once threatened the earth is now consumed in God’s holy fire. The stars proclaim it, and every generation is called to see it and believe.

Righteousness Reigns, Grace Confirmed
For those who believe, this river tells a different story. The wrath it speaks of has already fallen, on Jesus, at the cross. He bore our punishment, drank the cup, and took every drop of judgment in our place. That river of blood flowed once through Him, and now we stand washed, clean, and free.
No believer will ever taste that fire. We’ve been redeemed. What the river threatens, grace has already answered. We are hidden in Christ, sealed by the Spirit, secured in the family of God. The river confirms what our hearts know: we are not under wrath, we are under grace.
So when you look up and see that heavenly stream, remember this: the final judgment will come, and it will be holy and perfect. But those in Christ will have already crossed safely over. The story ends not in fear, but in glory, for the Lamb reigns, and we reign with Him.
Strategic Use In Gameplay
River Of Punishment is a Common Event with Discern, letting you choose between dealing 5 damage to a single enemy Being or 2 damage to all enemy Beings. This flexibility allows you to adapt based on the board state, making it a valuable tool for both targeted removal and clearing wide boards.

Board Wipe Utility: The 2-damage to all is highly effective against swarms of smaller Beings, especially in early or mid-game pressure.
