History
Throughout his history on Within Hubris, the player Dawn would constantly express his love for the sun and occasionally make reference to a group known as The Sun Children. It wasn't until April 26th, 2020 that players finally got their first glimpse of this organization. While searching through Dawn's desktop, players discovered many different files relating the cult. These mainly contained notes regarding various sun gods worshipped throughout the ages. However, the notes also included a glimpse into how the cult functions, revealing the existence of a holy title known as The Dawn and how it's been passed down through the ages. Here, it was revealed that the title of Dawn was passed down to Dawn from his father. The title is said to grant one certain powers of Helios, though at the cost of amplifying one's hubris - oftentimes to a fatal degree.[1]
On June 11th, 2020, players discovered that the Sun Children possess their own holy book. The book is implied to possess some of Helios's power as well.[2]
Practices
Below are the known practices of the Sun Children.
The Dawn
The most explored concept within Johnisdead seems to be that of The Dawn - a holy title afforded to a special chosen member of the Sun Children once they reach a certain age.[3] The title is passed down from one individual to another presumably post-mortem.[4][5]
Dawn himself was given the title
