Helios Book
The Helios Book as seen in halo.mp4.
The Helios Book is a holy book used by the Sun Children. The book seemingly holds some magical properties and is implied to be passed down from one Dawn to the next.
History
Players first learned about the existence of the Helios Book on June 11th, 2020. Dawn informed them that he was currently making his way down to Tyler's home in Florida to retrieve the book after leaving it there in the past. He claims he left it there after using it in some sort of "session".[1] Dawn implies that the Helios Book possesses some magical properties, claiming that he needs to retrieve it in order to restore his link to Helios and give him back his abilities.[2]
Dawn notes that the book is "nearly" one of a kind, implying that there may be other similar copies. He also notes that the text inside of it has been replaced - likely due to revisions over the ages. Despite this, the core of the book is still incredibly old and powerful.[3]
On August 31st, 2020, the video halo.mp4 showcased Dawn finally retrieving his book from Tyler's home. Shortly afterwards, Dawn confirmed that he had regained both his book and his powers in the Internet Detectives Discord Server.
