"By my light, you thrive. By my law, you kneel. Defy, and be undone."
VISUAL DESCRIPTION
A radiant sun deity (Solara) dominates the card, their androgynous form wreathed in golden flames. Their eyes are twin suns, unblinking, and their outstretched hands drip molten light onto the world below. Beneath them, a crowned Alpha and Omega kneel, their wrists bound by glowing timers. A withered rebel crumbles to ash in the corner, ignored by the devout. The landscape is lush yet rigid—fields of wheat grow in perfect rows, but the shadows they cast form prison bars.
SYMBOLISM & LORE
- The Sun's Gaze: Represents Solara's omniscience—no act of defiance goes unseen.
- The Timer Shackles: The countdown to conception or decay, a reminder of Solara's biological laws.
- Withered Figure: Those who reject their soulmate or royal duty face the "Great Drying" (body and soul desiccating to dust).
- Golden Wheat: Prosperity under Solara's rule, but only for the obedient.
