Bestow the Endurance of Bedrock (Stone's Unyielding Defiance)

Frequently Asked Questions

Blighted Island cards

• How does All Things Weaken interact with Stone's Unyielding Defiance's ability to protect Presence from destruction?
  If the conditions of Bestow the Endurance of Bedrock are met, no Presence is destroyed, either in that land or in an adjacent land. (All Things Weaken modifies how much and where Presence is destroyed, but Bestow the Endurance of Bedrock says "Presence is not destroyed", which makes those modifications irrelevant.)

  Blight still destroys Beasts tokens as usual for All Things Weaken. Note that Bestow the Endurance of Bedrock only applies when blight is added to a land with Stone's Presence, so Blight added to an adjacent land might destroy one of Stone's Presence.

• How does The Kingdom of Sweden Level 1 interact with the Bestow the Endurance of Bedrock special rule of Stone's Unyielding Defiance?
  The two Blight from Sweden 1 are added simultaneously, not sequentially, so Bestow the Endurance of Bedrock checks against the final Blight total.

  Sweden's rule that the second Blight cannot destroy Presence or cascade is just a reminder of the general rule that Presence destruction and cascades happen if Blight is added, not on a per-Blight basis - it's not a special ability granted to Sweden's second Blight to make it uniquely less harmful. (In the base game, Sweden 1 was the only was the only way 2 blight could be added simultaneously, so the rule was printed on the Adversary.)
