Discover the Children of the Sun, a cult-like faction in Dying Light: The Following. Learn about their history, beliefs, leadership under the Mother, and their use of Blue Mist.
Walkthrough
- 1History: The group dates back to the 13th century, originating from nomadic tribes. They settled near Harran based on the Mother's visions. Initially, they assimilated into local society but maintained traditions. Fifty years before the game, they were banned as an illegal religious sect. The Harran Virus outbreak led to their resurgence, with the devout 'Faceless' members spreading their beliefs and offering guidance. Their use of a military chemical, 'Blue Mist,' provided limited immunity to the virus, drawing Kyle Crane's attention. The gas was later developed into EF gas by The Baron.
- 2Beliefs: They follow the Cult of the Sun, Sky, and Wind, led by a matriarchal Mother. Their religion interprets natural forces as divine. They pray to the sun, seeing it as God's house and an extension of heaven. The wind is viewed as a messenger from the heavens. Their funerary tradition involves dressing the dead in ceremonial robes and masks and leaving them to be taken by scavenging birds, seen as symbols of heaven's mercy. A prophecy speaks of a God of the Sun returning during a great plague to cleanse the earth.
- 3Known Members: The Mother (revered leader), Jasir (community leader at Jasir's Farm), and Bilal (community leader at Bilal's Tar & Dust Workshop).
- 4See Also: The Faceless (the Mother's acolytes).
