== History ==
The history of the Solar Empire can be traced alongside the history of the majority ethnicity of the Empire, the [[Pyrrhians]], of which the Imperial Dynasty originate from as well as most of the Empire.
=== Pre-History ===
==== Pyrrianor ====
The Pyrrhians originated from the great island of Pyrrianor, far west of Alathra, on another face of the six faces of the world, and thus gained their name as "Westmen" or "Men of the West". Much history of this time is lost, though it is believed that the beginnings of a Pyrrhian Empire was in the making, as colonists had been sent to settle parts of the coastline of Arith. For further unknown reasons the Pyrrhian homeland of Pyrrianor was sunk, causing the Pyrrhian people to migrate into Western Arith, lead by the ancient progenitor of the Elchsdringen Dynasty, the direct descendant of Erses, Íor Elchsdringen, first King of Pyrrhia.
Coming into Arith after the sinking of their homeland, the Pyrrhian peoples were given gifts by Solaris Erses including the location of the Kiln of Creation and the jewels and gold to create the [[The Solar Crown|Solar Crown]] as a religious crown alongside that of the Pyrrhian Kingdom. Like much Pyrrhian history and mythos, much of this has been forgotten and faded into the past as a result of the loss of the King's Tome, a book which chronicled important information and history of the Kingdom and which was believed to be lost during the Age of Subjugation.
Prior to the arrival of Íor Elchsdringen in Alathra, the population of the world was divided and either had no conception of true religion or gods, and worshipped only material wealth or pagan idols of flesh.
==== The Age of Heroes ====
The Age of Heroes was a series of long and protracted wars by the warrior-druids of Íor Elchsdringen against the pagans of Western Arith. Though lasting for upwards of 200 years, the series of wars was finally won by
The druids and
