Sunburst Story

The complimentary forces of the Sun and Moon have dominated our lore and mythology for centuries. Our ancestors looked to the skies and saw the Sun, an eternal dazzling globe of light, the life-giver, bringing warmth and light to their world. It was seen as a generous benefactor lending its light to the Moon, which had no light of its own. The Sun was always the constant, the dependable force of the heavens, whereas the Moon, with its ever-changing face, is seen as the more mysterious of the two.

In the First book of Mages we read that some civilizations believed the Sun to be the eye of the gods, or even the eye of the world; a scared being that dwelled inside the earth when not in the sky, for was it not from the earth that is rose at dawn and returned at dusk? Great temples and tombs, even cities have been constructed in accordance with the Sun’s movements across the sky. The lives of many peoples follow the passage of the Sun as close as any flower whose face is ever turned to the great golden eye.
