The ''River of Light'' was one of the first Incineration Cannons ever made. Its core was built and refined over decades by an unknown [[Promethean]] who effectively used the weapon and served in dozens of containment operations against the [[Flood]].<ref name="UW">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/ | The ''River of Light'' was one of the first Incineration Cannons ever made.

After the [[Domain]] was unraveled, the weapon was originally thought to be lost. However, it was later found in a Promethean cache in a factory that once spun impossible miracles of exotic matter. The forges of this factory were cold and abandoned for a hundred thousand years before the [[Warden Eternal]] returned with writs of control, dominance, and resurgence.{{Ref/Reuse|UW}} | After the [[Domain]] was unraveled, the weapon was originally thought to be lost.

The ''River of Light'' comes with 25% upgraded battery capacity, a wider projectile arcing trajectory, no vertical recoil, and faster firing and charging speeds. Its charged shot is different in that it fires a long burst of [[seven]] arced explosive projectiles, thereby removing the disintegration aesthetic that other versions of the Incineration Cannon carry. However, compared to the normal Incineration Cannon and ''Heartseeker'', the weapon's battery depletes twice as fast if it is kept charged. Overall, the ''River of Light'' is useful for dealing damage onto a large target, such as a vehicle or boss. Unlike the other Incineration Cannons, the ''River of Light'' cannot kill a campaign playable character and make them unrevivable. | The ''River of Light'' comes with 25% upgraded battery capacity, a wider projectile arcing trajectory, no vertical recoil, and faster firing and charging speeds.
