==== The Sacred Antler ====
The Sacred Antler is the most important and sacred part of the Imperial Regalia, and as a result is not seen often. The Antler is a piece of Solaris Erses' Antler which is believed to have been broken off during the War for Existence and crashed to Terra. The Antler was subsequently found by Pyrrhians and preserved under the watchful eyes of the the Grand Order of Druids. The Antler, large enough to be considered as a flag pole, has been carried in front of the Cestar Kings during wars and crusades in the distant past. The Antler remains, alongside with the other pieces of the Imperial Regalia, in the Palace of Kings in Solar Pyrrhus under Solarian Inquisitorial oversight in the most secure section of the Palace.

=== Baptism ===
Baptism occurs when a new person or child wishes to join in covenant with the Solar Father and is a sign of their membership of the Solar Ecclesiarchy either as a Solarian Faithful or as a member of the clergy. Baptisms take place in Solarian churches around the blue flame pits, which usually stand in front of the pulpit. The presiding member of the clergy (who must be a member of the Proper Priesthood or up) will read the following out:
''"I baptise thee, having authority from the one true and almighty God; Solaris Erses, as a testimony that you have entered into a covenant to serve Him."''
The party being baptised is then given Elixir of the Sun - a potion created by the Ecclesiarchy on instruction of Solaris Erses - which specifically stops burning or damaged being done to the baptised party for a period of time. The baptised party then steps into the blue flame and emerges after a few seconds as being baptised and as a Faithful of the Solar Ecclesiarchy.
