Sunlit Man
A title spoken with reverence by Contemplation when Zeal reports that Nomad was seen by Thomos to touch the dawn sunline and live — apparently a known figure or class in Beacon's lore. Rebeke disagrees on the spot, on the grounds that a true Sunlit One would surely be helping rather than putting his boots on the council table. STD:TSM:Ch 8
Known facts
- sunlit-ones-legendBy Compassion's telling, long ago there lived a people on this world who could take the sunlight into themselves rather than be destroyed by it — who used it. They stayed in one place long enough to build a city beneath the ground. They are the Sunlit Ones, and the legend underwrites the Refuge that Beacon's leaders now hope to enter.STD:TSM:Ch 11
- cinder-king-broadcasts-it-as-rumourThe Cinder King confirms over Union's public address that *the Sunlit Man* is now a name being whispered on this world about the offworlder he is about to fight. He uses the title in the announcement to lend the fight its stakes; the Beaconite private legend is now a public one for the entire planet to hear.STD:TSM:Ch 49
Events
- STD:TSM:Ch 51 Rebeke takes the Sunlit One title for herself in her plea to the command crew — the same title Beacon had once whispered for Zellion and the Cinder King had weaponised over the public address.
