This is the second part of the Our Horizon Arc Timeline. Please read the first part here before proceeding.
Contents
April 23rd, 2020
Notice:
Many old pages returned with Johnisdead.com - some dating back to early 2015. The contents of these pages will not be re-documented in this timeline unless there are updates or changes.
- At 12:01 AM, the player Xenquility discovered that the front page of Johnisdead.com had changed. The page was now titled "Find your way". This page also contained the image "parallelos.gif" - an image of a green, distorted highway that has been seen in previous videos. This page also contained the audio "parallelos.mp3". This page also contained the image "initate.png", which would occasionally fade in and out on a section of the highway.
- At 12:02 AM, the player HaouDeSoul discovered that clicking on the image "initiate.png" on the front page of Johnisdead.com would redirect players to a series of "Path" pages. These Path pages all shared the title - "Find your way", and they mainly consisted of green, distorted environments - usually along highways or roads. Players would navigate these Path pages by clicking on a certain part of the road to progress to the next one. Path pages appeard to be made up of the two following types:
- Highway Paths - Path pages that progress down a single, straight highway. These pages contained one of the following random audio tracks:
- parallelos.mp3 - Audio of someone walking near a highway.
- parallelos.mp3 - Audio of someone walking near a highway.
- parallelos.mp3 - Audio of someone walking near a highway.
- parallelos.mp3 - Audio of someone walking near a highway.
- Offshoot Paths - Path pages that progress down smaller roads and environments. These pages contained the following audio track:
- At 12:02 PM, the following Path pages were discovered:

Summary
- The front page of Johnisdead.com leads to a long highway. This highway splits off into two small paths - one leads to a driveway that links to "https://johnisdead.com/tyler", and the other leads to another series of paths going through a wooded area.
- The wooded path leads to a field that slowly transitions into a wasteland. There is also a small trail leading off of the wooded path.
- The small trail leading off of the wooded path above leads to a dark tunnel.
- There are several dead ends and crossroads that have no paths.
- ((Any additional pages discovered along the paths above will be documented below as the players discovered them.))
- At 12:02 PM, the player Xenquility discovered that the front page of Johnisdead.com contained a JanusVR room. Players began downloading JanusVR from steam to explore the room.
Notice:
JanusVR is a virtual reality internet browser that was previously used in Johnisdead back in 2015. This program allows users to create 3d environments hosted in individual webpages called Janus rooms. These Janus rooms contain images, sounds, 3d models, portals to other Janus rooms, and even surfaces that can act as interactive webpages within JanusVR itself.
To conserve space in this timeline, a full list of assets such as images and models will not be archived. Instead, videos and screenshots of these Janus rooms will be provided along with only the most relevant files. As always, important details will be listed in the summaries of these sections.
- The Janus room on the front page of Johnisdead.com is recorded here:
4/23/20 - Path Janus Room - Johnisdead.com
This room was a single, long highway. Everything in this room was colored green, much like the highway seen on the Path pages. This is the same 3d environment seen in the "SIEGUNSERE" video. Along the highway were occasional light posts and street signs. These objects were colored completely black. After several minutes of walking, the player will be warped backwards on the road, ensuring that they cannot reach the end.
Summary
- This Janus room appears to be the long, green highway seen on Johnisdead.com path pages.

Walking outside, players would realize this room is floating above a large, purple-colored landscape made up of more corrupt looking textures. This landscape contained a large mountain structure in the far corner, along with what appears to be a coastline or valley of sorts. On the opposite side of the map, a steep ridge lined the edge of the landscape. A large monolith structure was also placed on the platform outside of the initial spawn room.

4/24/20 - Under Janus Room - Johnisdead.com
This room was a series of corridors and chambers consisting of corrupted, pixellated textures. Players would spawn in a long hallway that looped around a room with a pit. This pit connected to another room with a staircase that led back up to the corridors. Several strange images of what appeared to be screaming faces could be seen along the walls. A large door could be found in the room with the staircase that led outside. Outside, a long walkway led around the edge of the building and into another room. This room contained a heavily distorted image titled "papers.jpg". The audio file "listen.wav" would also play when in this room. The building seemed to extend much further than what was readily explorable.
Summary
- This Janus room consists of a a series of green, distorted rooms connected by corridors. An outside section is also explorable via a long walkway.
Updates
- At 3:00 AM, the players discovered three strange entities within the "Under" Janus room - "Trapped", "stackoverflow", and "HALICORD". These entities began interrogating the players, asking them why they've invaded their home - the "Under" Janus room. The entity Trapped was simply standing in the corner jittering around the entire time.
- At 3:03 AM, Trapped, stackoverflow, HALICORD, and fascie gathered around the pit in the "Under" Janus room and jumped in. Following this, they all logged off.
- At 3:10 AM, the player Xenquility discovered that the audio file "listen.wav" hid an image within its spectrogram.
- At 3:13 AM, the player Xenquility discovered that the audio file "atmos.mp3" hid the message "WHY ARE YOU HERE" in its spectrogram.
- At 3:42 AM, the player otherLiam discovered a new post on Letschasethemouse - "Allies.".
4/24/20 - "Allies." - Letschasethemouse
Before I'm removed, I need to get in contact with you. Not here; oh no, there are many interlopers. Hackers.
What I would once call my friends.
What I would once call my enemies.
I'm at my limit. I've been on the run for too long. There's very little good I can do left-- I must always abide by the world's law. You have an ally in me, if you are truly one who seeks to strike out.
It may be hard for us to understand each other, though. Language is not the only thing we don't share. I have a much higher understanding than yourself. An understanding that put me above all else once before, but now it's a hindrance. Even that being the case, I'm still below those that I now oppose.
It's what will end me. But there is something I know I can share.
Come find me.
-L
P/L.HTML
Summary
- TheLaw announces that he is now an ally of the players. He hints that soon he will be "removed".
- TheLaw claims that he must always "abide by the world's law".
- TheLaw claims that he has a higher understanding than the players that, at one point in time, placed him above all others. He claims that this understanding is now a hinderance to him, though.
- TheLaw hints that he is below BUP and that he is willing to share information with the players if they can find him - something he admits that will likely lead to his destruction.
- At 3:45 AM, the player Xenquility discovered a new page on Letschasethemouse - "https://letschasethemouse.blogspot.com/p/l.html". This page was titled "L" and contained a link to a new video on the M YouTube channel - "L".
4/24/20 - "L" - YouTube (M)
This video begins with footage of someone's desktop. They have the program "RX-SSTV" open - a program used to decipher SSTV signals. They begin deciphering an SSTV signal, revealing a distorted image of BUP's Discord avatar. The following pop-ups appear on the screen:

The screen in the program RX-SSTV begins playing a video of BUP's Discord avatar. The following pop-ups appear:
THE DEADMAN'S SWITCH
TRIGGER [DEADMAN SWTICH]?
Yes No
THE DEADMAN'S SWITCH
TRIGGER [DEADMAN SWTICH]?
ARE YOU SURE?
Yes No
THE DEADMAN'S SWITCH

The video in the RX-SSTV screen suddenly changes to an image of Toad's face from Super Mario 64 with an "X" over it. This was the avatar currently being used for the "Alliance Against BUP" Discord server. Distorted numbers begin appearing on screen, rapidly counting up in minutes. The video in the RX-SSTV screen shows a Discord screenshot of someone about to ban a user for the given reason:
"You shouldn't have done that."
The video on the RX-SSTV screen then shows a screenshot from Majora's Mask with a text box reading:
"You shouldn't have done that."
The timer reaches "4080 MINUTES" and the video ends.
Summary
- This video features someone, presumably TheLaw, deciphering a message from BUP using the program RX-SSTV.
- BUP seemingly corrupts TheLaw's computer, activating something called the "DEADMAN'S SWITCH". This activates a timer that begins counting down from 4080 minutes.

Summary
- The players attempt to entrap BUP by using a custom made Bind Rune. BUP finds this amusing and begins answering some questions.
- BUP claims that he doesn't know what TheLaw is up to, referring to him as "a lackey".
- BUP reaffirms that Tyler is trapped in the Parallelos.
- BUP begins explaining a bit of his backstory:
- BUP says that long ago he was a mortal just like the players.
- BUP says that when he was exposed to the events of "Ben Drowned", he began professionally researching the paranormal.
- BUP says that he earned several degrees and grants, eventually opening his own paranormal study facility he named the "Astral Observatory". He claims this name was a bit of an inside joke - likely originating from his past with Ben Drowned.
- BUP claims that he became more and more popular, garnering a following with his blog hosted on Astralobservatory.net along with some sort of talk show. He says that during this time he went under the name "Nocta".
- BUP reiterates that the Nocta the players know - the one who is currently the admin of the Astral Observatory forums - isn't him. That Nocta is simply someone who stole his name and website for his own purposes.
- BUP claims that the way he came to power and why he's currently in this "layered" state is due to "Aggregation", but he refuses to explain further.

Summary
- TheLaw tells the players that he is damaged and in danger.
- TheLaw informs the players that he was attacked by some sort of "croaking" entity, implying that perhaps the player's submission of the "Frog Song" is related.
- TheLaw believes that BUP is responsible for this recent attack on him, believe that BUP no longer has use for him.
- TheLaw wishes to bring the players to a location that has "many revelations". TheLaw claims that he shouldn't know about this place given his current context.
- TheLaw asks where Dawn is, implying that he holds some vital information. TheLaw believes that there may be a way to access Dawn's information through a virtual space - JanusVR.
- Players discovered that "Withinhubris.com", a website owned and hosted by Dawn, contained a Janus map. This map contained various clues hinting towards Dawn's computer login information. This page also contained giant models of Halicord, Trapped, and Stackoverflow. Full details of this map will be provided below.
- Halicord and another entity named "masked99" joined the Janus map. Halicord walked in front of his giant model and jumped off the edge.
- Players discovered a reference to the remote desktop program "Anydesk" in the Janus map - a program that allows one to log into desktops of others hosted online.
- The player Xenquility logged into Dawn's desktop by using various hints discovered around the Janus map:
- The address to Dawn's Anydesk session was found written in runes in a small building - "652 473 026".
- The password to access Dawn's Anydesk session was the candy he was searching on his computer in the Janus room - "lindttruffles".
- The password to access Dawn's desktop was the word written on a note next to his computer in the Janus room - "whippedcream".
- Through Dawn's remote desktop, players discover that Dawn is involved in some sort of sun cult that worships the god Helios.
- It's implied that "Dawn" is a holy title that's passed down among members of sun cult, and that Dawn's father was originally the title's holder before him. It's also implied that "hubris" will inevitably lead to the downfall of every Dawn, as holders of the title will eventually begin to think they're above mortality.
- Players discover a locked file on Dawn's computer - "IMPORTANT.odt.zip".
- Players discover a text file on Dawn's computer containing various commands that can be entered on a secret "command line" page on Withinhubris.com. They begin experimenting with these commands:
- "youshouldntbehere.txt" - Made the text "You shouldn't be here." appear.
- "image1.png" - Made an ascii image of Alex Hall appear.
- "Video.mp4" - Made the video used as the background image on the front page of Withinhubris.com appear.
- "Password?" - Made images of a giraffe, an elephant, a lion, an alligator, a tiger, and an ostrich appear.
- Players discovered that taking the first letter of the name of each animal provided by the password command gave them the password to the file "IMPORTANT.odt.zip" - "gelato".
- Players open the file "IMPORTANT.odt.zip". It contains the file "IMPORTANT.odt" - a simple text file containing the phrase "Iamthelaw", confirming that TheLaw is indeed Dawn.

Apollonios and Helios.txt
Apollonios approached and saluted him, the king [of Babylon] was addressed him in the Greek language and invited him to sacrifice with him; and it chanced that he was on the point of sacrificing to Helios the Sun as a victim a horse of the true Nisaian breed, which he had adorned with trappings as if for a triumphal procession. But Apollonios replied : ‘Do you, O king, go on with your sacrifice, in your own way, but permit me to sacrifice in mine.’
Apollonios quote.txt
‘O thou Helios, send me as far over the earth as is my pleasure and thine, and may I make the acquaintance of good men, but never hear anything of bad ones, nor they of me.’
Descendants of Helios.txt
Apart from Heliades and Heliadae, who were mentioned above, Helios is also mentioned as a father of Circe, Aeetes, Pasiphae and Perses by Persa. He is also said to be a father of Augeas, the famous herdsman, known from the labour of Heracles when the hero had to clean the stables in a single day. According to Quintus Smyrnaeus, he also consorted with his sister Selene who then gave birth to the Seasons and an unusual creature by the name of Ampelos, mentioned by Nonnus. According to Hyginus, there was also Aex, a daughter of Helios, who surpassed many in beauty of bodies but in contrast had a horrible face. Terrified by her face, Titans forced Gaea to hide her in a cave in the island of Crete. There was also famous son Phaeton, born to Helios and Clymene or, according to some sources, a grandson, born to Clymenus, a son of Helios, and Merope, an Oceanid. He was famous for riding Helios' chariot but once, got overwhelmed by it, he rode too close to earth and everything burned in fire that came near. He was then struck by lightning of Zeus because of his foolishness and fell into a river Po, also known as Eridanus.
dorians.txt
The Dorians, one of the four major ethnic groups of Greece at the time, also seemed to have celebrated Helios more than many Greeks of the era. There is even speculation that they were the people who brought the worship of the sun god to Rhodes.
epithets.txt
The female offspring of Helios were called Heliades. The Greek sun god had various bynames or epithets, which over time in some cases came to be considered separate deities associated with the Sun. Among these is Hyperion (superus, "high up"), Elektor (of uncertain derivation, often translated as "beaming" or "radiant", especially in the combination elektor Hyperion), Phaëton "the radiant", Terpsimbrotos ("gladdens mortals"), and Hekatos (also Hekatebolos "far-shooter", i.e. the sun's rays considered as arrows).
Etruscan god of the sun.txt
The Etruscan god of the sun, equivalent to Helios, was Usil. His name appears on the bronze liver of Piacenza, next to Tiur, the moon. He appears, rising out of the sea, with a fireball in either outstretched hand, on an engraved Etruscan bronze mirror in late Archaic style, formerly on the Roman antiquities market. On Etruscan mirrors in Classical style, he appears with a halo.

Greek.txt
"The Akrokorinthos [at Korinthos] is a mountain peak above the city, assigned to Helios by Briareos when he acted as adjudicator, and handed over, the Korinthians say, by Helios to Aphrodite.
Hermionians.txt
"Here the Hermionians had their former city. They still have sanctuaries here: one of Poseidon at the east end of the spit, and a temple of Athena . . . There is also another sanctuary of Athena, of no great size, the roof of which has fallen in. There is a temple to Helios (Sun), another to the Kharites (Graces)."
home islands.txt
One of the two home islands of the god was Thrinacia. It was the island, sacred to Helios, where his daughters Heliades lived. It is said that he once consorted with an Oceanid Clymene who then gave birth to seven daughters, Aegle, Aetherie, Dioxippe, Helie, Lamperia, Merope and Phoebe. But they weren't alone out there. It was also the island where his sacred cattle lived and it is where Odysseus and his men came on their journey. It is said in the story that Odysseus, considering the warnings of Teiresias and Circe, wanted to skip the island but was out-voted by his crew who wanted to rest, exhausted from their journey. They promised to Odysseus that they would never touch the sacred cattle of Helios, knowing they still have provisions on their ship.cattle helius It was all agreed and they disembarked. The next day, after having a proper dinner spiced with some wine, they wanted to get back on the sea again but bad weather arrived which kept them on the island for a month. They soon ran out of provisions and started plotting of having some of the finest beasts of Helios' flock. And when Odysseus went to pray to the gods, they took this opportunity and gathered the cattle around a campfire and, after prayers, killed them and roasted them on the fire. While they were feasting, one of the Heliades, Lampetia, brought the news to her father. Helios was outraged and threatened the gods of Olympus that if there was no justice, he would go to Hades instead to shine upon the dead and never to return again. Out of fear, Zeus calmed down Helios and promised him that he will punish them. Meanwhile, while praying, Odysseus heard the news from Calypso but it was already too late. When he came back to the ship, he refused to join the feast. After six days of feasting, Zeus calmed the weather and men made a decision to set sail again. But when they came out on the open sea, dark clouds, sent by Zeus, gathered around their ship and violent winds started blowing. The ship started breaking apart and finally broke apart when Zeus struck it with thunderbolt. All of the crew died except for Odysseus who was spared because he refused to kill and eat Helios' cattle.
The other island that is mentioned to be the home island of Helios was Rhodes. According to Diodorus Siculus, this island was full in mud and soft when it formed. But Helios dried up all the wetness and filled the island with living creatures and among them were Heliadae, seven sons, named after him. Their names were Actis, Candalus, Cercaphus, Macar, Ochimus, Tenages and Triopas. When his sons reached manhood, he told them that the first people who sacrificed to Athena would ever be protected by the goddess and, as a result, they became the first men to introduce sacrifices to the Goddess. There were also other people who sprang from the land and because Helios made it all possible they worshipped him and the island became sacred to the god.
Inakhos.txt
"The Korinthians say that Poseidon had a dispute with Helios about the land, and that Briareos arbitrated between them, assigning to Poseidon the Isthmos and the parts adjoining, and giving to Helios the height above the city [the citadel of Akrokorinthos]."
interaction.txt
Helios is often presented, in myths, interacting with other gods and demi-gods. One of such is the myth of abduction of Persephone where he and Hecate are the only ones who had heard the screams of Persephone when Hades abducted her. Demeter, Persephone's mother, later came to the gods and demanded from them to tell them who is behind the abduction. Then, in fear of their sacred lands that could become barren, they told her that Zeus and Hades are to blame. Helios was also, apparently, a good friend of Hephaestus whom he helped to fashion a plough of unbending adamant.sol spying on Ares and Aphrodite They seemed to be in good relations because Helios once spied on Aphrodite and Ares who were having an affair in the palace of Hephaestus at Olympus. He immediately reported this to Hephaestus and the god of craftsmanship then forged magical chains and set a trap. With Helios they agreed that the sun-god would report to him as soon as the trap was triggered. While Hephaestus was on his supposed way to Lemnos, Aphrodite and Ares met in his chambers. They laid on a bed and triggered the trap. Helios spread the news to Hephaestus who then gathered all the other gods to come and see this adultery and, consequently, Ares got banished from Olympus. Helios also helped Orion who was blinded and, while wandering around, came across Hephaestus who then directed him to Helios. The sun god then cleansed his eyes with rays and recovered his vision. The god also interacted with Heracles who was searching for the island of Erythia. Unable to find the island, he, in desperation, shot an arrow towards the sun. Helios was impressed by the boldness of the hero and gave him a golden goblet with which he was able to cross the ocean and reach Erythia. Even Gaea, the mother goddess, once begged Helios to dry her with his beams, after the whole land was frozen by the remains of Typhon, after Zeus had defeated him.
light.txt
Helios was a titan god of the sun and sunlight and was described as the One who watches from above and sees and observes anyone or anything if he wishes, not just on earth but in heavens also.
odyssey.txt
Helios has a small but notable role in the Odyssey. When Odysseus and his men land on Thrinacia, one of the islands dedicated to the sun god, Odysseus warns them not to touch any of Helios’ cattle or sheep that graze on the land. They do not heed this warning and, in his absence, slaughter some of the best of the animals.
Alerted to this by one of his daughters, Helios appeals to ZEUS for revenge. He threatens to take the sun and shine it onto the dead of the Underworld, instead of on the earth, if the men’s act goes unpunished. Zeus then strikes the crew’s ship with a lightning bolt, killing everyone except for Odysseus.
rhodes.txt
The island of Rhodes, believed to have been shaped by Helios, is a place where people honored him as an important deity. Legend has it that when the island first came into being, it was muddy and uninhabitable. Helios dried the land and filled it with life, including seven of his sons known as Heliadae. Because of Helios’ life-giving intervention, some residents of the island worshiped him, and the island became sacred to Helios.
sister.txt
Each morning, his sister, EOS, would paint the dawn sky with her fingers and pull the misty curtain, through which Helios would appear, aside. He would drive his blazing chariot across the heavens until his travels were complete. At this time, he would he would hide in a golden cup that fell to earth while his sister, Eos, would begin her nightly trek.
sun.txt
That is, the sun, or the god of the sun. He is described as the son of Hyperion and Theia, and as a brother of Selene and Eos.1 From his father, he is frequently called Hyperionides, or Hyperion, the latter of which is an abridged form of the patronymic, Hyperionion. In the Homeric hymn on Helios, he is called a son of Hyperion and Euryphaessa. Homer describes Helios as giving light both to gods and men: he rises in the east from Oceanus, though not from the river, but from some lake or bog (λίμνη, limnē) formed by Oceanus, rises up into heaven, where he reaches the highest point at noon time, and then he descends, arriving in the evening in the darkness of the west, and in Oceanus.
Later poets have marvelously embellished this simple notion: they tell of a most magnificent palace of Helios in the east, containing a throne occupied by the god, and surrounded by personifications of the different divisions of time; and while Homer speaks only of the gates of Helios in the west, later writers assign to him a second palace in the west, and describe his horses as feeding upon herbs growing in the islands of the blessed.
The points at which Helios rises and descends into the ocean are of course different at the different seasons of the year; and the extreme points in the north and south, between which the rising and setting take place, are the τροπαὶ ἠελίοιο (tropai ēelioio). The manner in which Helios during the night passes from the western into the eastern ocean is not mentioned either by Homer or Hesiod, but later poets make him sail in a golden boat round one-half of the earth, and thus arrive in the east at the point from which he has to rise again. This golden boat is the work of Hephaestus. Others represent him as making his nightly voyage while slumbering in a golden bed. The horses and chariot with which Helios makes his daily career are not mentioned in the Iliad and Odyssey, but first occur in the Homeric hymn on Helios, and both are described minutely by later poets.
Helios is described even in the Homeric poems as the god who sees and hears every thing, but, notwithstanding this, he is unaware of the fact that the companions of Odysseus robbed his oxen, until he was informed of it by Lampetia.11 But, owing to his omniscience, he was able to betray to Hephaestus the faithlessness of Aphrodite, and to reveal to Demeter the carrying off of her daughter.1This idea of Helios knowing every thing, which also contains the elements of his ethical and prophetic nature, seems to have been the cause of Helios being confounded and identified with Apollo, though they were originally quite distinct; and the identification was, in fact, never carried out completely, for no Greek poet ever made Apollo ride in the chariot of Helios through the heavens, and among the Romans we find this idea only after the time of Virgil. The representations of Apollo with rays around his head, to characterize him as identical with the sun, belong to the time of the Roman empire.
The island of Thrinacia (Sicily) was sacred to Helios, and he there had flocks of oxen and sheep, each consisting of 350 heads, which never increased or decreased, and were attended to by his daughters Phaethusa and Lampetia.13 Later traditions ascribe to him flocks also in the island of Erytheia,14 and it may be remarked in general, that sacred flocks, especially of oxen, occur in most places where the worship of Helios was established. His descendants are very numerous, and the surnames and epithets given him by the poets are mostly descriptive of his character as the sun.
Temples of Helios (ήλιεῖα, ēlieia) seem to have existed in Greece at a very early time,15 and in later times we find his worship established in various places, as in Elis, at Apollonia, Hermione, in the acropolis of Corinth,19 near Argos, at Troezen, Megalopolis, and several other places, especially in the island of Rhodes, where the famous colossus of Rhodes was a representation of Helios: it was 70 cubits in height, and, being overthrown by an earthquake, the Rhodians were commanded by an oracle not to erect it again.
The sacrifices offered to Helios consisted of white rams, boars, bulls, goats, lambs, especially white horses, and honey. Among the animals sacred to him, the cock is especially mentioned.
The Roman poets, when speaking of the god of the sun (Sol), usually adopt the notions of the Greeks, but the worship of Sol was introduced also at Rome, especially after the Romans had become acquainted with the East, though traces of the worship of the sun and moon occur at a very early period.
sungod.txt
In Greek mythology, the Sungod, son of the Titan Hyperion (whose name he bears himself in Homer) and the Titaness Theia; brother of Selene (the Moon) and Eos (Dawn). The poets apply the name Titan to him in particular, as the offspring of Titans. He is represented as a strong and beautiful god, in the bloom of youth, with gleaming eyes and waving locks, a crown of rays upon his head. In the morning he rises from a lovely bay of the Ocean in the farthest East, where the Ethiopians dwell. To give light to gods and men he climbs the vault of heaven in a chariot drawn by four snow-white horses, breathing light and fire; their names are Eoos, Aethiops, Bronte, and Sterope. In the evening he sinks with his chariot into the Ocean, and while he sleeps is carried round along the northern border of the earth to the East again in agolden boat, shaped like a bowl, the work of Hephaestus. He is called Phaethon, from the brilliant light that he diffuses; he is the All-seer (Panoptes) because his rays penetrate everywhere. He is revealer of all that is done on earth; it is he who tells Hephaestus of the love of Ares and Aphrodite, and shows Demeter who has carried off her daughter. He is accordingly invoked as a witness to oaths and solemn protestations. On the island of Trinacria (Sicily) he has seven flocks of sheep and seven herds of cattle, fifty in each. It is his pleasure, on his daily journey, to look down upon them. Their numbers must not be increased or diminished; if this is done, his wrath is terrible. (See ODYSSEUS.) In the 700 sheep and oxen the ancients recognised the 700 days and nights of the lunar year. The flocks are tended by Phaethusa (the goddess of light) and Lampetie (the goddess of shining), his daughter by Neaera. By the ocean Nymsh Perse or Perseis he is father of Aeetes, Circe, and Pasipae, by Clymene the father of Phaethon, and Augeas was also accounted his son. His children have the gleaming eyes of their father. After the time of Euripides, or there-abouts, the all-seeing Sun-god was identified with Apollo, the god of prophecy. Helios was worshipped in man places, among which may be mentioned Corinth and Elis. The island of Rhodes was entirely consecrated to him.. Here an annual festival (Halia) was held during the summer in his honour, with chariot-racing and contests of music and gymnastics; and four consecrated horses were thrown into the sea as a sacrifice to him. In 278 B.C. a colossal bronze statue, by Chares of Lindus, was erected to him at the entrance of the harbour of Rhodes. Herds of red and white cattle were, in many places, kept in his honour. White animals, and especially white horses, were sacred to him; among birds the cock, and among trees the white poplar. The Latin poets identified Helios with the Sabine deity Sol, who had an ancient place of worship on the Quirinal at Rome, and a public sacrifice on the 8th of August. But it was the introduction of the ritual of Mithras which first brought the worshit of the sun into prominence in Rome.
sunworship.txt
"that sun-worship had once been prevalent and powerful among the people of the pre-Hellenic culture, but that very few of the communities of the later historic period retained it as a potent factor of the state religion."
THALAMAE.txt
"From Oitylos to Thalamai [in Lakedaimonia] the road is about eighty stades long. On it is a sanctuary of Ino and an oracle. They consult the oracle in sleep, and the goddess reveals whatever they wish to learn, in dreams. Bronze statues of Pasiphae and of Helios (the Sun) stand in the unroofed part of the sanctuary. It was not possible to see the one within the temple clearly, owing to the garlands, but they say this too is of bronze. Water, sweet to drink, flows from a sacred spring. Pasiphae is a title of Selene (the Moon), and is not a local goddess of the people of Thalamai."
thesun.txt
The worship of Helios was introduced into Greece from Asia. According to the earliest conceptions of the Greeks he was not only the sun-god, but also the personification of life and all life-giving power, for light is well known to be an indispensable condition of all healthy terrestrial life.
The worship of the sun was originally very widely spread, not only among the early Greeks themselves, but also among other primitive nations. To us the sun is simply the orb of light, which, high above our heads, performs each day the functions assigned to it by a mighty and invisible Power; we can, therefore, form but a faint idea of the impression which it produced upon the spirit of a people whose intellect was still in its infancy, and who believed, with child-like simplicity, that every power of nature was a divinity, which, according as its character was baleful or beneficent, worked for the destruction or benefit of the human race.
Helios, who was the son of the Titans Hyperion and Theia, is described as rising every morning in the east, preceded by his sister Eos (the Dawn), who, with her rosy fingers, paints the tips of the mountains, and draws aside that misty veil through which her brother is about to appear. When he has burst forth in all the glorious light of day, Eos disappears, and Helios now drives his flame-darting chariot along the accustomed track. This chariot, which is of burnished gold, is drawn by four fire-breathing steeds, behind which the young god stands erect with flashing eyes, his head surrounded with rays, holding in one hand the reins of those fiery coursers which in all hands save his are unmanageable.
When towards evening he descends the curve in order to cool his burning forehead in the waters of the deep sea, he is followed closely by his sister Selene (the Moon), who is now prepared to take charge of the world, and illumine with her silver crescent the dusky night. Helios meanwhile rests from his labours, and, reclining softly on the cool fragrant couch prepared for him by the sea-nymphs, recruits himself for another life-giving, joy-inspiring, and beauteous day. It may appear strange that, although the Greeks considered the earth to be a flat circle, no explanation is given of the fact that Helios sinks down in the far west regularly every evening, and yet reappears as regularly every morning in the east. Whether he was supposed to pass through Tartarus, and thus regain the opposite extremity through the bowels of the earth, or whether they thought he possessed any other means of making this transit, there is not a line in either Homer or Hesiod to prove.
In later times, however, the poets invented the graceful fiction, that when Helios had finished his course, and reached the western side of the curve, a winged-boat, or cup, which had been made for him by Hephæstus, awaited him there, and conveyed him rapidly, with his glorious equipage, to the east, where he recommenced his bright and glowing career. This divinity was invoked as a witness when a solemn oath was taken, as it was believed that nothing escaped his all-seeing eye, and it was this fact which enabled him to inform Demeter of the fate of her daughter, as already related. He was supposed to possess flocks and herds in various localities, which may possibly be intended to represent the days and nights of the year, or the stars of heaven.
Helios is said to have loved Clytie, a daughter of Oceanus, who ardently returned his affection; but in the course of time the fickle sun-god transferred his devotion to Leucothea, the daughter of Orchamus, king of the eastern countries, which so angered the forsaken Clytie that she informed Orchamus of his daughter's attachment, and he punished her by inhumanly burying her alive. Helios, overcome with grief, endeavoured, by every means in his power, to recall her to life. At last, finding all his efforts unavailing, he sprinkled her grave with heavenly nectar, and immediately there sprang forth from the spot a shoot of frankincense, which spread around its aromatic perfume.
The jealous Clytie gained nothing by her cruel conduct, for the sun-god came to her no more. Inconsolable at his loss, she threw herself upon the ground, and refused all sustenance. For nine long days she turned her face towards the glorious god of day, as he moved along the heavens, till at length her limbs became rooted in the ground, and she was transformed into a flower, which ever turns towards the sun. Helios married Perse, daughter of Oceanus, and their children were, Aëtes, king of Colchis (celebrated in the legend of the Argonauts as the possessor of the Golden Fleece), and Circe, the renowned sorceress. Helios had another son named Phaethon, whose mother was Clymene, one of the Oceanides.
The youth was very beautiful, and a great favourite with Aphrodite, who intrusted him with the care of one of her temples, which flattering proof of her regard caused him to become vain and presumptuous. His friend Epaphus, son of Zeus and Io, endeavoured to check his youthful vanity by pretending to disbelieve his assertion that the sun-god was his father. Phaethon, full of resentment, and eager to be able to refute the calumny, hastened to his mother Clymene, and besought her to tell him whether Helios was really his father. Moved by his entreaties, and at the same time angry at the reproach of Epaphus, Clymene pointed to the glorious sun, then shining down upon them, and assured her son that in that bright orb he beheld the author of his being, adding that if he had still any doubt, he might visit the radiant dwelling of the great god of light and inquire for himself.
Overjoyed at his mother's reassuring words, and following the directions she gave him, Phaethon quickly wended his way to his father's palace. As he entered the palace of the sun-god the dazzling rays almost blinded him, and prevented him from approaching the throne on which his father was seated, surrounded by the Hours, Days, Months, Years, and Seasons. Helios, who with his all-seeing eye had watched him from afar, removed his crown of glittering rays, and bade him not to be afraid, but to draw near to his father. Encouraged by this kind reception, Phaethon entreated him to bestow upon him such a proof of his love, that all the world might be convinced that he was indeed his son; whereupon Helios desired him to ask any favour he pleased, and swore by the Styx that it should be granted.
The impetuous youth immediately requested permission to drive the chariot of the sun for one whole day. His father listened horror-struck to this presumptuous demand, and by representing the many dangers which would beset his path, endeavoured to dissuade him from so perilous an undertaking; but his son, deaf to all advice, pressed his point with such pertinacity, that Helios was reluctantly compelled to lead him to the chariot. Phaethon paused for a moment to admire the beauty of the glittering equipage, the gift of the god of fire, who had formed it of gold, and ornamented it with precious stones, which reflected the rays of the sun. And now Helios, seeing his sister, the Dawn, opening her doors in the rosy east, ordered the Hours to yoke the horses.
The goddesses speedily obeyed the command, and the father then anointed the face of his son with a sacred balm, to enable him to endure the burning flames which issued from the nostrils of the steeds, and sorrowfully placing his crown of rays upon his head, desired him to ascend the chariot. The eager youth joyfully took his place and grasped the coveted reins, but no sooner did the fiery coursers of the sun feel the inexperienced hand which attempted to guide them, than they became restive and unmanageable. Wildly they rushed out of their accustomed track, now soaring so high as to threaten the heavens with destruction, now descending so low as nearly to set the earth on fire. At last the unfortunate charioteer, blinded with the glare, and terrified at the awful devastation he had caused, dropped the reins from his trembling hands.
Mountains and forests were in flames, rivers and streams were dried up, and a general conflagration was imminent. The scorched earth now called on Zeus for help, who hurled his thunderbolt at Phaethon, and with a flash of lightning brought the fiery steeds to a standstill. The lifeless body of the youth fell headlong into the river Eridanus,where it was received and buried by the nymphs of the stream. His sisters mourned so long for him that they were transformed by Zeus into poplars, and the tears they shed, falling into the waters, became drops of clear, transparent amber.
Cycnus, the faithful friend of the unhappy Phaethon, felt such overwhelming grief at his terrible fate, that he pined and wasted away. The gods, moved with compassion, transformed him into a swan, which for ever brooded over the fatal spot where the waters had closed over the head of his unfortunate friend. The chief seat of the worship of Helios was the island of Rhodes, which according to the following myth was his especial territory.
At the time of the Titanomachia, when the gods were dividing the world by lot, Helios happened to be absent, and consequently received no share. He, therefore, complained to Zeus, who proposed to have a new allotment, but this Helios would not allow, saying, that as he pursued his daily journey, his penetrating eye had beheld a lovely, fertile island lying beneath the waves of the ocean, and that if the immortals would swear to give him the undisturbed possession of this spot, he would be content to accept it as his share of the universe. The gods took the oath, whereupon the island of Rhodes immediately raised itself above the surface of the waters.
The famous Colossus of Rhodes, which was one of the seven wonders of the world, was erected in honour of Helios. This wonderful statue was 105 feet high, and was formed entirely of brass; it formed the entrance to the harbour at Rhodes, and the largest vessel could easily sail between the legs, which stood on moles, each side of the harbour. Though so gigantic, it was perfectly proportioned in every part. Some idea of its size may be gained from the fact that very few people were able to span the thumb of this statue with their arms. In the interior of the Colossus was a winding staircase leading to the top, from the summit of which, by means of a telescope, the coast of Syria, and also the shores of Egypt, are said to have been visible.

It’s a little known fact that the title of “Dawn” is passed through multiple people. This gives the illusion that the “Dawn” is forever-- “Dawn” never dies.
But it’s actually the righteous and glorious duty of one select individual of an age to become the “Dawn”. My father was the “Dawn” before me, and his rites were recorded so that I may listen.
It’s known that the “Dawn” will always eventually die due to their interaction with hubris. The power of Helios cannot fully flow through a mortal’s being, but the “Dawn” will eventually think of themselves as something more – something immortal. This is an inevitable fact.
Hubris will kill me as it killed the Dawn before me.

"Gather round, followers of the light. A new Dawn has risen. May he speak the sacred rite and become one with Helios. Follow in my lead:
The light shall guide me. Never shall my mind betray the light, nor my sword, nor my shield. I shall always work in the best interest of the Grand Helios."
"The light shall guide me. Never shall my mind betray the light, nor my sword, nor my shield. I shall always work in the best interest of the Grand Helios."

4/26/20 - Sun Tower Janus room - Source
This map consisted of a small floating island surrounded by a starry sky. Players would spawn under a gazebo-like structure held up by several pillars. In the distance, massive modesl of Trapped, Stackoverflow, and Halicord could be seen. There were small "bridges" pointing towards these models on the edge of the island. Directly in front of the gazebo structure were two pews. Upon one of these pews sat a low-poly man engulfed in pixelated flames. Behind these pews sat an old wooden chariot. Across from this chariot was a temple-like building. While this building could not be entered, a small window along the back wall allowed players to peer inside. Inside this temple were the numbers "652 473 026" written in runes - numbers that were used to connect to Dawn's remote desktop. In front of the temple was a small plaque that read "For the dawn before the dawn". On the opposite side of the gazebo was a small pond. Next to this pond was a computer desk. On this computer, players could see that Dawn was searching up the candy "Lindt Truffles" - another hint towards accessing Dawn's remote desktop. Also on the computer desk were some fanmade Within Hubris cards, a cup of Sunny D, and a notepad that depicted a drawing of the sun and the text "Whipped Cream" - the final clue to accessing Dawn's remote desktop. Across from the pond was a small stone structre of unknown importance.
Summary
- This Janus room was a small island belonging to Dawn. Various clues were spread about hinting towards the login information needed to access Dawn's remote desktop.
- This Janus room featured a small temple dedicated to the previous holder of the Dawn title.
- This Janus room also contained a computer used by Dawn.
- In the distance, giant models of Trapped, Halicord, and Stackoverflow could be seen.

4/27/20 - "Spire" Janus Room - Johnisdead.com
This room was a recreation of the Lunar Children headquarters in Ohio - The Spire. Players spawned on a small cement pathway in a large parking lot. Attempting to walk too far away would reveal a wooden fence surrounding the entire map. Upon entering the Spire, players would find themselves in a large lobby. This room contained a massive painting of Father Vincent and Luna. This room also housed a large fountain and an elevator, though it was not operational. The right and left sides of the room also contained corridors to other sections of the Spire, and a second floor walkway could be seen above the players. Going through the left corridor would lead players to a large library. Many strange paintings adorned the walls of the library. The bookshelves of this library contained generic looking books, as well as an occasional odd book colored either green, red, blue, or purple with a single letter on it. This room also contained a locked door in the far left corner. A staircase in this room also led up to the second floor, where another locked door was discovered. Players peer through a window on this door revealing a small room where three copies of the Libro Lunarus floated above a table.
Proceeding through the right-side corridor in the lobby would lead players to a large cafeteria. This cafeteria housed a small "cafe" area in the corner where a massive mural depicting Luna and the Four Giants could be seen. There was another locked door near this mural as well. A small kitchen was accessible where a large walk-in freezer was found. This kitchen led to a small hallway that connected back to the main cafetera room. In this hallway were two bathrooms. Back in the main cafeteria room, portraits of Father Vincent, Mat, Thoth, Jinn, and Kuu were found high up on the wall. Next to the kitchen hallway was another hallway that led back outside. Within this hallway was a small utility room where a washer and dryer were found. The cafeteria also housed two dorm rooms where Lunar Children presumably slept. These dorms also housed three computers each.
The cafeteria also contained a stairway up to the second floor. Behind this stairway was another small "cafe" section where a large mural of Luna was discovered. The second floor of the cafeteria contained a walkway that led to a computer lab, where several computers were found. This room also housed another locked door. Another locked door was also found directly outside the computer lab. Directly next to the cafeteria stairway was another set of stairs that led to the third floor of the Spire. This door was locked, however.
Outside, the back wall of the Spire contained a doorway that led down towards the Spire's basement. Several utility rooms were found here. There was also a door that led further down into the Spire's basements, but it was locked as well.
