Explore the Children of the Sun faction in Children of the Sun. Learn about their history, beliefs, leadership, and their connection to the Blue Mist in Harran.

The Children of the Sun, also known as The Following, is a cult-like faction based in the Countryside surrounding Harran, led by the Mother. They are a significant group in Dying Light: The Following, with a history dating back centuries.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    History: The group originated from a nomadic tribe led by a spiritual leader, the Mother, around the 13th century. They settled near Harran due to the Mother's visions of fertile land. Initially, they assimilated into local society but maintained their traditions. Fifty years before the game's events, they were banned as an illegal religious sect. The Harran Virus outbreak led to their resurgence, with the devout members, The Faceless, spreading their beliefs and utilizing a military chemical (Blue Mist) for limited immunity to the virus. This chemical later became the focus of Kyle Crane's investigation.
  2. 2
    Beliefs: They worship the Sun, Sky, and Wind as a holy trinity. The Mother, a matriarchal figure, guides them through visions. Their funerary tradition involves dressing the dead in ceremonial robes and masks and leaving them to be consumed by scavenging birds, seen as messengers of heaven. A key prophecy speaks of a God of the Sun who will cleanse the earth during a great plague.
  3. 3
    Known Members: Key figures include The Mother (revered leader), Jasir (farm community leader), and Bilal (gas station community leader).
  4. 4
    See Also: The Faceless are the most devout followers of the Mother.
