'''The Solar Empire, Solaris''' or officially the '''Solar Empire of Arith''' is a theocratic absolute monarchy which dominates a the Western half of the continent [[Arith]]. The Empire is headed by the religious and political head of state, the Solar Emperor, who is the head of the [[Solaris|Solar Ecclesiarchy of Erses]], also known as [[Solaris]], Emperor of Solar Pyrrhia. The Empire is a absolute monarchy, with however gives representation for local Lords and land owners in the Imperial Parliament.
 
The foundation of the Empire is during the events of Great Reformation, when Melevor II was commanded by the head god of the now defunct faith of [[Ceiltean Druidism]], Solaris Erses, to correct the Faith with various reforms and doctrinal rewrites. This was completed with the completion of the holy texts of [[Solaris]], the '''Solar Codex'''. At the time, the Empire was still not formed as the nation was under the control of Melevor II's father, [[Melevor]], who upheld strong Socialist beliefs, being the founder of the [[Union of Collectivist Council Republics]]. Following Melevor I's death during the Second Crusade against Pater Carnis, Melevor II inherited the Union with many of his enemies already dead. Within days he had proclaimed himself Emperor and reinstated the ancient order of Pyrrhia. Three days following the proclamation of the Solar Pyrrhian Empire, the state was approached by conspirators from the [[Free Cities of Alathra]], who successfully overthrew the F.C.A. Senate and securing the loyalty of half of the towns of the F.C.A, joining together with Pyrrhia to establish a continental superpower, the Solar Empire of Arith, which still retains the Western half of Arith after the short Arith Crisis, a long-time policy goal of Melevor II's father.
 
The Solar Empire of Arith is now the core of the Holy Solarian Empire, a multi-continent spanning united [[Solaris|Solarian]] Empire.

== 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 ===
 
The Empire has a history spanning long before it's creation. Before the Great Reformation existed the Grand Order of Druids, who propagated the now defunct [[Ceiltean Druidism]], which the Solar Ecclesiarchy was built upon. The Grand Order was established by the ancient progenitor of the Elchsdringen Dynasty, the direct descendant of Erses, Íor Elchsdringen. Prior to the arrival of Íor Elchsdringen on Terra, 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.
==== MoriaPyrrianor ====
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 people who would eventually become the Pyrrhians, known as the proto-Pyrrhians with the annihilation of the pagan temple which stood on the banks of the Saile river, modern day Ceiltean Crownlands. Though by this time Íor was dead by 75 years, his son was the first to truly settle in the lands and reign over peaceful territories.
 
The druids and proto-Pyrrhians lived a very peaceful lifestyle, living in nature under a loose Confederation headed by the chief of the Elchsdringen Clan. Under this Age shrines and standing stones to the gods thrived, appearing all over Western Arith as a result of Druidic wandering and nomad lifestyles. This would end with the rise of the [[Free Cities of Alathra]], whose harsh policies against bandits would drive the money-making thieves into the relatively unsettled and nomadic West of Arith and into direct confrontation with the proto-Pyrrhains.
 
==== Age of Subjugation ====
War reigned against the bandits and warlords for many decades, but more kept coming into Western Arith, leading to the total subjugation of the proto-Pyrrhians. The natives would be enslaved by their new bandit overlords, forced into endless mining across the iron and gold rich region. The proto-Pyrrhians lived a basic subsistence, with the majority of food, housing and other basic necessities being hoarded by the bandits, who become warlords and began fighting amongst one another.
 
While the suffering of the proto-Pyrrhians was immense, it would only get worse as the Four Piglins (Pestilence, War, Famine and Death) struck the region igniting a 15 year-long series of events which included multiple famines, droughts, bandit conflict and widespread plague scourging the lands. During this time many of the already small proto-Pyrrhian population perished either due to hunger, sickness or death at the hands of bandit warlords who fought throughout the lands for dominance. The so-called "15 Years of Death" was thought to be a plight inflicted by the minor spirits, Ymis and Rhadohir on the bandits as a punishment for the maltreatment of the proto-Pyrrhians, though had the unintended consequence of killing many of the proto-Pyrrhians, who were thought to be immune to the sickness. The catastrophic event ended only after the organisation of a widespread rebellion by the proto-Pyrrhians spearheaded by [[Melevor]] and the establishment of the city of [[Pyrrhus]].
 
Thus was unified that great race of men, longed disunited and spread across the large areas of Western Arith. Long had they been oppressed and mistreated by their brutal overlords, which collectively as a people they vowed would never happen again.

== Foreign Relations ==
The Empire inherits much of the foreign relations of the Solar Pyrrhian Empire, which following it's reformation away from the [[Union of Collectivist Council Republics]] received widespread support and increased diplomatic levels, which it has established with many powers. Following the Arith Crisis the Empire hashad entered into a period of "splendid isolation", with growing anger and dislike towards foreign powers which assisted in it's defeat during the Crisis, though emerged from this period rapidly with high levels of development and growing economic strength.
 
=== Arith ===
The Empire's most strenuous relationship in the world is with the [[Free Cities of Alathra]], which it shares half the continent of Arith with. Following the Arith Crisis in which the Solar Empire was defeated at the joint hands of the F.C.A. and the League, the Empire has agreed to maintain only minimal diplomatic communication with the F.C.A, refusing F.C.A. diplomats to enter Solar Pyrrhus, not establishing direct communication and only meeting within the Arith International Zone. Despite this, the Empire and the F.C.A. maintain cordial relations and co-operate at times to ensure the safety and security of the continent of Arith and to uphold the Treaty of Arith, particularly around spheres of influence. The Empire and the F.C.A. have not directly diplomatically met since the end of the Arith Crisis, but rather through mercenary work when Solarian mercenaries fought for Eldia, and F.C.A. mercenaries fought for Stahlfaust during the Gaushan Wars Period.
 
Through the rest of the continent of Arith the Empire retains good relations with [[Mirenirenic]] and cordial relations with Praetara. Formerly [[Mud Town]], thewas latterincluded ofon whichthis islist and shared very close bothrelations to the Crownlands and Emperor directly, though following the collapse of the Empiretown andofficially, isit diplomaticallywas closedeclared an Imperial Protectorate due to it's proximity to the EmpireCapital.
 
=== Gaushan ===
The Empire maintains good relations with two powers on Gaushan, primarily the LegionEldia, which is fellow practitioner of the [[Solaris|Solarian]] Faith and a theocratic monarchy like the Empire.
 
Following the establishment of Solar Empire words of well wishes were sent from the new [[Elyria|Elyrian]] capital of Ehrenhal to Solar Pyrrhus, and were reciprocated. In a following meeting between Solar Emperor Melevor and King Aldrich a non-aggression pact and a general establishment of good relations and friendship was agreed upon by both Elyria and Solaris. Through the Arith Crisis and beyond it the two powers have retained good relations with a planned increase in them from the Solarian side, with the creation of an embassy in Ehrenhal. Further relations were built during the Gaushan Wars Period, with trade between the two nations flourishing.
 
The Solar Dominion of Eldia is the Empire's primary and sole ally in the world. The Dominion is ruled by Solar King Zodd "Mithras" Angolmois, a man who was raised as a Pyrrhian in the Empire and is extremely devout in the Solarian faith. The Empire views Eldia as it's most important ally and as the gateway for spreading Solarian Faith internationally, rather than being confined to Arith and therefore fought to defend the Eldians through mercenaries during the Stahlfaustian-Eldian War following the sacking of Snowport. Robbert Angolmois, Zodd's half-brother, was the first Eldian to be canonized as a Saint of the Ecclesiarchy for his martyrdom in the face of the Stahlfaustian armies which sacked his city.
The Solar Dominion of Eldia is another state on Gaushan which retains good relations with the Empire both prior to and following the Arith Crisis, through which Eldia provided recognition of the Empire and supported it's cause against the F.C.A. Following the Crisis Eldia was reformed along the lines of Solarian doctrine and began it's path first as the Legion and now as a Solarian theocracy. The Empire views Eldia as it's most important ally and as the gateway for spreading Solarian Faith internationally, rather than being confined to Arith.
 
The Empire has stable relations with twothe other powers on GaushanLeague, thosewhich being Stahlfaust and the League. Whilewhile the Empire maintains communications with the League, it is viewed as the cause of the loss of the Arith Crisis and has subsequently been viewed poorly both by Imperial representatives and the general Solarian public. The Empire additionally maintains communications with Stahlfaust, which originally praised the foundation of the new Solar Pyrrhian Empire, but subsequently embargoed the Solar Empire of Arith and supported the cause of the F.C.A. during the Arith Crisis causing the Empire to formerly look ill upon the nation. Following this a non-aggression and trade pact was signed between the Empire and Stahlfaust.
 
The Empire maintains poor relations with Stahlfaust, which originally praised the foundation of the new Solar Pyrrhian Empire, but subsequently embargoed the Solar Empire of Arith and supported the cause of the F.C.A. during the Arith Crisis causing the Empire to formerly look ill upon the nation. Following this a non-aggression and trade pact was signed between the Empire and Stahlfaust, though broken by the Empire during the Stahlfaustian-Eldian War, from which it has further decreased.
 
=== Prospit ===
The Empire has few connections to Prospit, though has established communication and conveyed admiration and support for the Archduchy of [[Nixium]], planning to establish an embassy within the nation in the near future. The Empire established a trading outpost on Prospit in June 2022 with plans to create a continental market and to fill the vacuum of Prospitian industry with Solarian industry.
 
=== Occidentia (Moria) ===
Despite it's opinions towards Ashina, the Empire maintainsformerly held good relations widely with Ashinan Moria, particularly the city of Irithil in which a Church of Solaris iswas planned to be constructed and opened. The friendship between the Pyrrhian and Fossorian people dates back to before the First Alathran Great War when relations between the P.C.C.R. and the then hegemonic [[Fossores Republic]] were made and facilitated the establishment of the Alathran Entente. Following the defeat and collapse of both powers after the War, both slowly climbed back out of stagnation and re-established themselves which saw the revival in friendship between them. With the creation of the Solar Empire, Lord Syltumal Gwyn of Iritihil helped plan out the new boundaries of the Imperial and Solar capital of Pyrrhus. Through the Arith Crisis Ashinan Moria stayed it's course of neutrality and friendship with the Empire despite Ashina's declaration of war against it. Following the death of Lord Gwyn relations have not been maintained and very little contact has been made with the new Lord of Iritihil, Lixionit.
 
Like Prospit, the Empire established and maintains a trading outpost in the southern half of Occidentia on the island of Sinalos near Delphi from which it seeks to establish a large market for Solaris Trading Company goods.
=== Moria ===

Through the Arith Crisis Ashinan Moria stayed it's course of neutrality and friendship with the Empire despite Ashina's declaration of war against it.
 
=== Ashina ===
The Empire does not maintain communication or good relations with the Ashinan homeland, which following the creation of the Solar Empire condemned it's creation, and subsequently joined the F.C.A's side during the Arith Crisis. In the eyes of Solarians the Ashinan Empire is a force of stagnation and is widely disliked through Solarian society, but most prominently in Ceilteathe Crownlands which has long had sour opinions of the large Empire of the East.
 
=== Koganon ===
The Empire maintains good relations and formal communication with the [[Arcadian Altanate]], andofficially throughsigning unofficiala channelsnon-aggression pact with the [[RepublicAltanate Ofin Lydoneia]]June 2022.
