The Cult of the Solar Order

Also called The Solar Temple, or the International Chivalric Order Solar Tradition, the Cult of the Solar Order was an international group that became infamous for murder-suicides among their members in Switzerland and Quebec.

Some of its members claimed ties to the Templar Knights or the Rosicrucians, but these claims were unsubstantiated and likely fabricated.
