Sunwalkers
A name whispered for those who walk the path of pure light.
The term 'Sunwalkers' does not correspond to a major or officially recognized faction within Will Wight's Cradle novel series. In discussions among readers and the broader community, the name is occasionally used colloquially to describe members of the Solari order who specialize in light-based progression, though this title holds no canonical weight in the primary text. Unlike established groups such as Pathfinders or Malleus, there are no specific records of a 'Sunwalker' organization operating within the known realms.

Lore & Background
While no official faction bears this title, the concept resonates with the Solari, an ancient monastic order dedicated to harnessing the power of the sun and light. Members of this order often traverse great distances to maintain shrines or seek enlightenment through radiance-based techniques. In some fan interpretations, those who master high-level light progression are metaphorically termed 'walkers' upon the sun's path. The confusion likely stems from the visual nature of their magic, which involves glowing auras and solar constructs. However, within the strict hierarchy of Cradle's world-building, they remain identified as Solari or Pathfinders specializing in light. There are no historical records of an independent 'Sunwalker' guild challenging the Crown or the Malleus.
Reader's Guide
The designation of Sunwalkers serves primarily as a fan descriptor rather than an in-universe faction. It is often applied to Solari members who focus heavily on light magic or travel extensively between realms. There are no known goals, specific leaders, or headquarters associated with this name in the novels. Readers should refer to the Solari order for accurate information regarding light-based practitioners.
