The Mirror of Glory

"The Light Beyond the Sun is insatiable. It's rays pierce even the blackest shadow, illuminating everything it touches. It reveals unpleasant lies, and exposes terrible truths... Some things are best left in the dark. One day, it's light will shine too bright. It's beams will roll over the earth, leaving the world naught but a pile of cinders and ash."

Summary
The Mirror of Glory is an occult organization dedicated to the Light Beyond the Sun, a mysterious otherworldly entity. Composed of thirty-four members, they spend the majority of their time going about their day to day lives; governing their lands, looking after their finances. Once they gather, they take on a far more sinister aspect. They talk of the invisible arts, and of forces beyond human reckoning. On occasion, a living sacrifice is made, in the name of research and progress in their eldritch studies. If their cult was public knowledge, there would be riots in the streets. Fortunately, its existence is kept heavily under wraps, with knowledge of the organization only being known to Selenites, with even them not knowing the full extent of the order's activities.

History
The cult was founded by Victor Dramm, in 1732 A.E. Originally an off-shoot of the Selenite organization, they slowly drifted further and further apart due to their growing differences. While the Selenites believed that the Light Beyond the Sun and other entities could be understand with science, Victor knew this to not be true. Some powers were unable to be summed up with equations, or sorted out into a formula. Leaving with over a dozen members who harbored similar views, the cult slowly degenerated into fanaticism.

The Light would burn the world asunder, and there was but one way to avoid its wrath; the Moon. The Moon was cold, and of the Winter. It was a place that it's rays would never dare tread. Thus, it would be their salvation. They performed insane acts and bizarre rituals to further their goal, occasionally even offering up victims in unsuccessful attempts to gain more knowledge. After years of no luck, a member finally uncovered a lead. A specific book, *The New Dawn*, was said to contain information that could be of use to them. Unfortunately, nobody knew of a copy that still existed. With the gathering of people from around the globe at the World's Fair, hopefully someone would have a lead on what they desired.
