AFAIK the trick the Mandarins used (following Shavaya and the Solar Storm) was to wait until the Sun became the Solar Storm (the Ignorants could change the appearance of their sun to suit their needs whether it be the Blood Sun to fertilize the crops or the Black Sun for the Uz overlords to sunbathe in) and enlightened it. They then seized the ghost of the unenlightened Solar Storm and imprisoned it in Jankley Bore so that it could not rejoin the Sun after a while. Thus the Sun has always been quiet since the Mandarins took over.
Every Ignorant knows that the ghost dwells in Jankley Bore and would like to free it. The problem is that it's so violent that everybody who has tried to free it from its shackles has been killed. That said (M/C)an Shu is plotting to free it.
