The Order of the Sun
Order of the Sun members are more likely to have the Huma bioform (with the Puritan archetype requiring it). Order members cannot have Ethertech-based Abilities. If your character chooses to become a member of this faction, choose one faction archetype. Archetype traits are initially locked and are unlocked through use of the Growth pool.
Common epithets: Helite, Order Progressive, Order Puritan
Progressive
Harness the Sun (** Unlock **)
When you create or Rank up a Solartech Ability, this trait gives +1d6 for the Growth test. In addition, the Resources required are reduced by 1 Rank (to a minimum of 1).
Hack Ethertech (** Unlock **)
You may use Moonshards to create the Power Up Stunt on a Solartech Ability.

The Way Forward (** Unlock **)
Destroy an item with the Ethertech descriptor (including all Moonshards). Make this trait a Ranked modifier one Rank greater than the item destroyed. This effect lasts for the remainder of the scene. This may be used once per scene.
Renounce the Archons (** Unlock **)
Another member of the Cohort shuts down all traits connected to the Archons, Ethertech, or Moonshards for the remainder of the scene. You both gain the We Are the Pure Ones trait for the remainder of the scene. This may be used once per scenario.
We Are the Pure Ones
You have -1 / 2d against all Ethertech effects. In addition, you may choose Destiny or Doom to give you +3d6 against any Challenge using Ethertech.
