Book Description

Publication Date: May 30, 2005 | Series: Exalted

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. Saviors will bring justice and peace to the world, they say. The Cult of the Illuminated believes, and serves the Gold Faction of Sidereals, protecting young Solar Exalted from the depredations of the Wyld Hunt and the Bronze Faction. Perhaps Solars are what the cult hopes for - children of light who promise a new golden age for Creation. Or perhaps their charges are just more dupes in a world that will never see a new dawn.

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 part of a Solar or Sidereal series is here.

I, for one, love this addition to the world of Exalted. I find it highly amusing that the story of the Cult involves being started by some guy hopped up on 'shrooms and then the whole thing being used by the Gold Faction Sidereals to their advantage. Granted, Sidereals rock my socks anyway and I needed this book to research the Cult for a game I'm going to try to run. I was quite thrilled to see the god I'm basing the story around (Lytek) listed as a supporter of the Cult. I figured he was anyway, but it was cool to get details on his activities with them.
Also, the rules for Illuminated Solars are awesome! I need a Solar sorceror for my game, and while it is an epic-level game, it might be neat to have the sorceror be raised by the Cult of the Illuminated and have some of the special Backgrounds.

I have mixed feelings about this book. For one, this book gives you a great way of creating a mixed group of exalted. It also gives you a good alternative to creating Solars. That being said, I don't know if I would use the Cult in any fashion other than an antagonist. Players can play Solars with boosted skills and background ratings if they want to play lapdogs to the same people that had them assasinated. My players would rather die than have their Solars become slaves to this Cult.
