The Path of the Sun is one of the 22 pathways of the Beyonders, standing over light, purification, and holy flame. Its bearers are the living dawn: they bless, heal, and burn out evil creatures.

The path begins with the Bard potion (Sequence 9) and leads to Sequence 0 - the Sun. It belongs to the "Almighty God" group. In the era of the novel, the path is held by the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun - one of the three great churches of Loen.

Against the undead and corruption, the path of the Sun is more effective than any other - for which its priests are equally loved by parishioners and hated by cemetery dwellers. The bearer of this path in the Tarot Club is Derrick Berg, the Sun of the City of Silver.

Action Method

Method of Action — a way to digest a potion. The Otherworldly must behave as their stage prescribes until the power becomes part of them. Until the potion is digested, the bearer is vulnerable: the power is already there, but there is no authority over it yet.

The roles of the path are public: the Bard performs before people and leads them, the Notary witnesses and certifies another's truth, the Priest of Light preaches and purifies. Here one cannot digest the potion alone — one needs someone to whom one addresses.

The method long remained the knowledge of the few: church hierarchies were in no hurry to reveal it, and many Otherworldly rose blindly, paying for it with their sanity.

The Path of the Sun stands above light, purification, and the expulsion of filth. Its bearers burn corruption, dispel the spawn of darkness, and return people's will where it has already been broken.

The ladder leads from the Bard, whose weapon is word and song, through the Priest of Light and the White Angel to the Sun.
