The Solar Crown is widely used as a heraldic emblem of the [[Solar Empire of Arith]], being incorporated into a multitude of emblems and insignia. As the Solar Empire is a constitutional monarchy, the crown is often used to symbolise the sovereignty (or authority) of the Emperor, and a sign of their Imperial office. It can be found on the Imperial Coat of Arms for the Imperial Dynasty of Murascaillbach
== History ==
The crown of eight hinged golden plates is thought to be forged by the progenitor of the Murascaillbach Dynasty, and the son of Erses, Íor Murascaillbach 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 and subsequently Ceiltean Kings have been crowned with the Solar Crown, even [[Melevor]], though during the [[Union of Collectivist Council Republics]] the crown was put into storage. The crown is the most important item of the Imperial Regalia, which also includes the Sword of the Sun, the Orb of Erses and the Sacred Antler. During coronations, it is given to the new Emperor along with the Sword of the Sun and the Orb of Erses.
