The Lashing

"A single Holy digit blotting out the sky; The Earth trembled and moved as if were water. The Parda Thought bringing the Sovereigns to heel they had become the world's undisputed masters. In an hour Kism reminded all the terrible scale of divine power, and that there were boundaries forbidden to cross."
-Except from The End Of The World As I Witnessed It by Podalirius Nasidius
