Power: 8 | Speed: 8 | Rarity: Epic | World Region: The Bright Court
Origins: Light Herald serves the Bright Court and carries 8/8 stats with the formal authority that comes from representing the most powerful institution in the Light affinity. It doesn't just fight at this tier – it changes the conditions, announces the terms, and then fights with the advantage those terms provide. The most formally powerful Epic in the Light tier, and the one most likely to have already decided the outcome before the round begins.
Finishing Move: Herald's Decree: Issues the Herald's Decree – an announcement that changes the light conditions of the battle zone to maximum brightness, where Shadow-based cards operate at disadvantage and Light cards at full advantage.
Synergy & Rivalry: The authority and condition-setter in Light Epics. Shadow's Grim Prophet is its direct Epic counterpart – two authority-function Epics from opposing affinities whose Decrees directly contradict each other, and whose encounters are defined by which one sets the battlefield conditions first.
