The Golden Sun

The Golden Sun is a religious group that believes that the combined souls of the congregation are "the one truth that can bring peace to this world." Though they preach "peace and love," there seems to be some underlying secrecy in the group, especially among higher-ups.

Tracking the Bandits
The church in Rassalantar were secretive about being visited by Hawk and their bandit crew; however, a young member named Levi was willing to share with Reytna and Phihana. He told them that the bandits had abducted a young member named Koji, who had gotten in trouble for warning officials about the church and sharing their secret rituals. He expresses discomfort and hesitancy about the rituals. He says that some of the higher-ups get upset if people reveal what happens "behind closed doors." One of the practices he describes is their following of the "sun cycle." Every 3 days, there is a new stage of the cycle. On the 3rd day, they welcome in the New Sun, with a focus on rebirth and happiness. On the 6th day, they focus on the midday, with a focus on the journey. On the 9th day, they focus on the setting sun and the darkness to come. This has a focus on welcoming the darkness and rebirth to come. On the 10th day, they embrace darkness and nightfall. On the dawn of a new day, they celebrate the beginning of the new cycle. He says that Neverwinter is their "holy city." Which is where the Inquisitors work out of. There are two branches of inquisitor: The Sword, who go out and take care of those who get in the way. And the Shield, who protect those who manipulate.
