# Polaris: Cult of the Sun tags: #game/rpg/polaris ![[Polaris - Cult of the Sun (cover).jpg|600]] **Cult of the Sun** (Chris Sakkas) is a two-page expansion for **[[Polaris - Chivalric Tragedy at the Utmost North|Polaris: Chivalric Tragedy at the Utmost North]]**. Where the core's knights are bound to the distant stars, this introduces the **Illuminated Monks** of the **Cult of the Sun** — a secret mystery order, founded by the unlucky king, devoted to research and the burning of demonkind, who long for the Sun's zenith and track its approach on a vast brass Calendar. ## What it adds The Illuminated Monks trade the Stellar Knights' opening Aspects for three of their own: - **Acolyte of the Cult of the Sun** — acting as a monk, calling on fellow cultists, or researching the cult's deep vaults. - **Golden Compass** — a filigreed pocketwatch that finds your way through the wastes, knows the future of the constellations and the Sun, and chirps when a demon nears. - **Lore of the People** — intimate knowledge of the remnants' customs and secret places, used to impress, to find, to perform great works. As ever in Polaris, each Aspect aids as readily as it hinders: the watch's glint betrays its owner, the lore can be false, and the monks are hunted by knight and demon alike for what they know and what they burn. ## Editions - **Cult of the Sun** — a single two-page expansion by Chris Sakkas, an unofficial supplement to Polaris. ## References - [Cult of the Sun — Polaris expansion PDF (sanglorian.github.io)](http://sanglorian.github.io/downloads/Polaris/Cult%20of%20the%20Sun%20--%20Polaris.pdf)
