I wanted to share a concept that just came to me: Ritualistic sun blinding.
Examples-
-
A sun worship cult that maintains an order of blind prophets. Whose ordination involves self-blinding using the sun. burning away the false eyes
-
Sun blinding as a form of martial punishment used on deserters or captured enemy soldiers.
Ngl, this came to me when I remembered how Trump stared at the sun during the solar eclipse.

I REALLY like it. Reminds me of Lightbringer. Someday I'll finish the last book.
