Disciples of the Children of Light. Despite the persecution of the Immaculates, despite the corruption of Heaven, there are those who believe that, one day, the world will be a better place, that saviors will come and bring justice and peace to the world. Throughout the Second Ave, they have proven useful to various individuals with messianic pretensions seeking pawns for their schemes. The Cult of the Illuminated serves the Gold Faction of the Sidereals, protecting young Solar Exalted from the depredations of the Wyld Hunt and the Bronze Faction. Perhaps the Solars will be as the Cult predicts, children of light bringing a new golden age to Creation. Perhaps they are just more dupes in the hands of the unscrupulous. Protectors of the Solar Exalted. Cult of the Illuminated details the Cult, its training operations, goals, structure and Sidereal patrons. Everything needed to use the Cult as past of a Solar or Sidereal series is included.
