=== The Prayer of Philoxenos "Let my prayer arise" ===

Philoxenos was the High Priest of the pagan Cult of Lothric, centred in Ashina, who converted after having an epiphany and sailing to Western [[Arith]], and the territories of the Solar Emperor of Terra - the [[Holy Solarian Empire]]. After witnessing the glory and marvels of the church and pious nature of the Solarians in Arith Philoxenos converted to the Faith and sailed back to Ashina, dedicating his own church in honour of the Solar Father and Mother Nature. Philoxenos wrote a short dedication to the Solar Father at the beginning of his prayer: "''A prayer dedicated to Comfort of Comforters, the Solar Father, Erses''."

''"May mine prayer arise, may my prayer arise as sweet smelling smoke, let the aroma arise unto thy throne, let the aroma arise unto thee!''

''Let mine prayer be as sweet smelling sap burnt before thee, may this burning stand for my iniquity!''

''Let mine prayer pass o’er the bounds of abyssal cretins, let mine prayer pass into thine lap and unto thine heart!''

''May mine feet to hasten to worship! Allow mine heart to hasten to thee!''

''May mine knees to buckle in fear and trembling at thy wrath and jealousy!''

''May mine tears to be a stream of water for thy refreshment!''

''May mine kneeling to be a great sacrifice!"''

=== The Carissime Domine ===

The Carissime Domine (Common Alathran: ''Dearest Lord'') is a High Pyrrhian prayer which is one of the most common prayers spoken by Solarians and was written by Solar Emperor [[Melevor II]] during the time of the Great Reformation. The prayer, originally spoken in High Pyrrhian, has been translated to almost every language on Alathra, but is still prayed in High Pyrrhian in Solarian churches.

''"Dearest Lord, protect and guide us from this sacrilegious and primordial evil.''

''Protect your servants and existence from the Devourer, and lead us into Your light."''

''"Carissime Domine, ab hoc sacrilego ac primordiali malo nos tuearis et ducas.''

''Servos tuos protege et existentiam a Devoratore, et deduc nos in lucem tuam."''
