▲The '''Solar Crown''' (High Pyrrhian: ''Corona Solaris''), also known as the '''Imperial Crown of Pyrrhia''', or the '''Imperial Crown of Arith''', a hoop crown with a characteristic octagonal shape, is the coronation and Imperial crown of the [[Solar Empire of Arith]], created approximately a thousand years ago during the mythic Pyrrhian "Age of Heroes". The crown has been used, and continues to be used in the coronation of the Murascaillbach King of Kings, being used most recently to crown Melevor II as both King of Kings and Solar Emperor.
▲The crown is revered as a sacred and holy item of the [[Solaris]] faith, being believed to be forged by the progenitor of the Murascaillbach Dynasty, and the son of Erses, Íor Murascaillbach with pure sunlight from the golden sunlight mane of Erses himself encrusted into the Sun which tops the crown. A heraldic depiction of the crown is used on the Imperial coats of arms, badges, logos and various other insignia in the [[Solar Empire of Arith]] to symbolise the Imperial authority of Melevor II.

The crown does not have a round shape but an octagonal one, unlike other crowns of the age. Each plate of the crown is made out of a high-quality 22 carat gold and is studded with pearls and precious stones, the inside coated with a red velvet cap.
The crown is decorated with 144 precious stones including sapphires, emeralds and amethysts, and about the same number of pearls. The single stone that adorns the centre of the Sun at the top of the crown, surrounding by pearls 14 other stones is called the Stone of Terra, supposedly found underneath the Kiln of Creation buried in the soil as a gift from the
The crown bears four smaller plaques, or "picture-plates" which bear pictorial representations of the form of Erses as a great Ceiltean Elk. Each of these enamelled plates is surrounded by blue sapphires and pearls in raised filigree settings. At the back of the crown, along the rim of large plate is inscribed the letters P.E.I.O.U - standing for "''Pyrrhiae est imperare orbi universo''" in High Pyrrhian, which means: "All the world is subject to Pyrrhia", a symbolic device coined by a later descendant of Íor

The crown of eight hinged golden plates is thought to be forged by the progenitor of the Cestar Dynasty, and the son of Erses, Íor Cestar supposedly at the Kiln of Creation after discovering the Stone of Terra. Using pure sunlight from the golden sunlight mane of his father, Erses, and 22 carat gold, the sun which tops the crown was first made. After using all the pure sunlight, the rest of the crown was made with the remaining gold, and over the decades more jewels were added, originally only the Stone of Terra was the only jewel on the Crown. All Pyrrhian Kings have been crowned with the Solar Crown, even [[Archive:Melevor|Melevor]], though during the [[Archive:Union of Collectivist Council Republics|Union of Collectivist Council Republics]] the crown was put into storage.
