The banner of the sun is a fabled relic of the ancients, steeped in the vitality of the sun itself. It is a red and golden standard, resplendent with sunburst designs that blaze with a fiery radiance. Those who unfurl it are bathed in a comforting glow that invigorates the soul and stirs the heart.
This banner originated from a sect of sun-worshipers who sought to harness the power of their deity. Its magic bolsters the strength of those who fight beneath it, instilling in them a fierce courage that banishes even the darkest shadows. It can even grant the power of flight to those worthy of its grace.

This flag can be attached to a 10-foot pole to serve as a standard. Furling or unfurling the banner requires an action. The banner has the following properties.
Aura of Light. As a bonus action, you can touch the unfurled banner and cause it to emanate sunlight in a 20-foot-radius and shed dim light for an additional 20 feet. This benefit lasts until the banner is furled.
Celestial Grace. As a bonus action, you can touch the unfurled banner to grant a flying speed of 30 feet to you and your allies while within 20 feet of the unfurled banner. This benefit lasts for 1 minute or until the banner is furled. Once you use this property, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
Glorious Fury. As a bonus action, you can touch the unfurled banner and cause it to invoke this ability. While within 20 feet of the unfurled banner, whenever you or an ally hits with an attack, that attack deals an extra 1d6 radiant damage to any target it hits. This benefit lasts for 10 minutes or until the banner is furled. Once you use this property, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
