A Perfect Circle
The Circle of Everlasting and Perfect Illuminated Harmony, as their name suggests, is a Perfect Circle formed and trained by the Cult of the Illuminated – and by extension, their Sidereal masters, the Gold Faction Sidereals.
Unfortunately due to the obstinance of Lytek, even the Gold Faction did not learn of the Sun-King’s return to Creation until well after the fact. Feeling cautious the Sidereals decided not to approach the Solars who are already well established.
Cautiously the Gold Faction gathered those who are more pliable, the not yet established lone Solars who are confused and scared, and formed the School of the Illuminated. In these hidden monastery fortresses they secretly began to mold the returning God-Kings into tools that can guarantee the future.
Already more than a dozen Solars have been gathered and the Gold Faction even went out of their way to gather their Lunar Mates when convenient. The members of the Circle of Everlasting and Perfect Illuminated Harmony are just the most senior of the Solar trainees.
- Of the 30 Tier 1 Solars, the Gold Faction manage to Poach 6 - This Circle and Klytaimnēstra
- Except for Klytaimnēstra all of them are fairly weak by First Tier Solar Standards. Their essence is from 3 to 4. This is deliberate as the Gold Faction try not to poach Solars who are already too strong
