This Lathander sect I want to put in my campaign are a secret clergy for Gargauth. It has similarities to the Pelor the Burning Hate story on the boards. I do remember reading about the Hands of Blinding Light somewhere.

Deep within the light of the Sun Clergy, right in the most blinding spot festers a seed of Gargauth. The secret clergy called the Hands of Blinding Light plans on letting Lathanders clergy collect the relics of the morninglord in a grand mass corrupting ritual held by the leader of the Hands which makes Gargauth subsume Lathanders mind unknowingly, and would seem as a failed attempt at a starting of the Dawn cataclysm. Then Gargauth plans on whispering on Lathanders vainness to make him stand closer to his followers at all times. Gargauth appears to Lathander and slyly cajoles him into making a deal he cannot refuse signing a contract that will make the sun stand still on Chessenta and the Eleusinium.

The only way out is by following the "Healing Light" of the sect into a new Hell or accepting fiendish transformation against the heat. Soon the whole Chessentan and Untheric population accepts fiendish gifts and a new Hell on Fearun can only be stopped by a direct holy crusade.

Does anyone have a clue where I can get a reference for the Hands of Blinding Light?

I don't immediately recall any specific Realms reference to the Hands of Blinding Light. I'll have to check through my archives.
