The '''Solar Ecclesiarchy of Erses''' (High Pyrrhian: ''Ecclesia Solari Erses''), also known as the '''Ecclesiarchy''' or '''Solaris''', is a large religion with over 35 practitioners, being the state enforced religion of the theocratic monarchy of the [[Solar Empire of Arith]], the religions birthplace, as well as the theocratic monarchy in the Solar Dominion of Eldia. The Ecclesiarchy is headed by the Solar Emperor of Arith (also called King of Kings), who has always traditionally been the head of state of the High Kingdom of Ceiltea, the subsequent [[Union of Collectivist Council Republics]] and now the [[Solar Empire of Arith]] (commonly referred to as Solaris). The King of Kings additionally holds the titles of Solar Emperor and Voice Erses. They are the formal and effective head of the Faith, and reside in the Solar (holy) capital of Solar Pyrrhus.
The '''Solar Ecclesiarchy of Erses''' (High Pyrrhian: ''Ecclesia Solari Erses''), also known as the '''Ecclesiarchy''' or '''Solaris''', is a large religion with over 35 practitioners, being the state enforced religion of the theocratic monarchy of the [[Solar Empire of Arith]], the religions birthplace, as well as the theocratic monarchy in the Solar Dominion of Eldia. The Ecclesiarchy is headed by the Solar Emperor of Terra (also called King of Kings), who has always traditionally been the head of state of the High Kingdom of Ceiltea, the subsequent [[Union of Collectivist Council Republics]] the [[Solar Empire of Arith]] (commonly referred to as Solaris) and now the [[Holy Solarian Empire]]. The King of Kings additionally holds the titles of Solar Emperor and Voice Erses. They are the formal and effective head of the Faith, and reside in the Imperial capital of Solar Pyrrhus.


The Solar Ecclesiarchy teaches that the Solar Emperor comes from the bloodline of Erses, the sole God of the Faith, and thus is given a divine mandate from the heavens. The hierarchy of the Ecclesiarchy is built upon various Ecclesiarchs who are handpicked by the Solar Emperor to run important temples and shrines, cities or offices such as the Solar Inquisition. Lower than the Ecclesiarchs is the Proper Priesthood which consists of all priests given a parish or temple to attend to of lesser importance than those of the Ecclesiarchs. Lower than the Proper Priesthood is the Lesser Priesthoods, who serve mainly as scribes and bureaucrats in the doctrinal, administrative and inquisitorial offices of the Ecclesiarchy. Lesser or Proper Priests in training are titled Acolytes, and attend training in cathedrals.

=== The Solar Emperor, King of Kings, Voice of Erses ===
The Solar Emperor is the male descendant of Íor Cestar and directly descended from Solaris Erses. The Solar Emperor is additionally afforded the titles of King of Kings and Voice of Erses, as he is described by the Solar Codex as the greatest among men, and the vessel through which Solaris Erses communicates with His Faithful. The Solar Emperor acts as both the head of the Solarian religion internationally, and as the head of state of the [[Solar Empire of Arith]], which is viewed by the Ecclesiarchy as the headquarters of the church, and the most sacred land in the world.

==== The Solar Crown ====
==== The Solar Crown ====
The Solar Crown, also known as the Imperial Crown of Pyrrhia, or the Imperial Crown of Arith, is a hoop crown with a characteristic octagonal shape, and is the coronation and Imperial crown of the [[Solar Empire of Arith]], being the most commonly used part of the Imperial Regalia. 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 Cestar 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 Faith, being believed to be forged by the progenitor of the Cestar Dynasty, and the son of Solaris Erses, Íor Cestar 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.
