Illari during the Solar Threading Ritual; being imbued with Solar Threading
Solar Threading is used by Inti Warriors to give them the ability to store and control the sun's power.[1] Solar threading are found imbued into Inti warriors and are used to concentrate solar energy for damage or healing purposes.[1] Typically, solar rifles are used to best utilize solar energy and solar threading.
Inti Warriors are imbued with solar threading through an augmentation ceremony, which allow them to harness solar energy. When channelling solar energy, solar threading will glow a bright yellow to represent the sun's power. When not channelling solar energy, solar threading on the skin will look like tattoos, while solar threading in hair will appear as yellow streaks. [2]
Augmentation Ceremony[ | ]
Illari's Augmentation Ceremony
Solar Threading is imbued into the Inti Warriors through an augmentation ceremony, also known as a solar threading ritual. The ceremony takes place in a room designed to channel solar energy into the centre device, through the use of advanced Peruvian technology. [2]
At the centre of the room, atop a Pyramid-like structure, a circular device holds the Inti warrior. During the ceremony, a spherical barrier of solar energy will hold the Inti warrior within, levitating them to the centre. As the ceremony proceeds, the spherical solar barrier will imbue the Inti warrior with their solar threading and will dissipate once the ceremony concludes.[2]
For the ceremony, Inti Warriors gather to welcome a new Inti Warrior and watch them be imbued with solar threading.[1] They stand in rows behind each other and infront of the central device.[1] The Inti warriors hold their left hand to the warrior infront and as the ceremony occurs, solar energy can be seen being channelling through all the warriors, through their solar threading towards device at the centre of the room.
