The '''Solar Ecclesiarchy of Erses''' (High Pyrrhian: ''Ecclesia Solari Erses''), also known as the '''Ecclesiarchy''' or '''Solaris''', is a large religion with over
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.

There are various holy sites throughout Solarian Faith, most prominently the

[[File:Kiln1.png|thumb|The supposed appearance Kiln of Creation]]
The location of the Kiln of Creation, the holiest of places on Terra, was lost alongside the King's Tome during the Age of Subjugation. It is believed that following the Pyrrhian exodus to Alathra, the gift of knowledge of it's location was bestowed upon the Pyrrhian people as a gift, and thus where Íor Cestar forged the [[The Solar Crown|Solar Crown]].
After looking through ancient scrolls and
After a full excavation a large structure was fully dug out made out of impenetrable bricks and block by a door which would not open. Investigations into the mysterious structure continues, but many rumours spreading both within the Ecclesiarchy's ranks and across the wider Faith speak of the structure in the shape of an ancient kiln, and many of the workers at the site swear that it is the mythic and sacred Kiln of Creation, house to the Flame of Creation and that the Flame, an ultimate tool of the creation of life is still sealed inside the ancient structure.
Line 302:
The Kiln is believed to be the place where Solaris Erses stored the Flame of Creation during the first War for Existence, away from the ever-consuming Degradatus and the Devourer, on Terra and returned to after the conclusion of the War, creating the first lifeforms in the area surrounding the Kiln the "Cradle". The Flame of Creation is a tool of immense power which was mostly devoured by Solaris Erses to enhance his creative powers, though a small part was left over and supposedly remains in the Kiln of Creation as a failsafe from the influence of the Devourer. It is also believed that the small emerald on the [[The Solar Crown|Solar Crown]], the "Stone of Terra" was a gift from the Patron Spirit Ymis and discovered underneath the Kiln and the Crown itself was subsequently forged at the Kiln itself by Íor Cestar.
The
The Basilica of the Accenderatus gained its name from the Kiln, as it is the High Pyrrhian verb "to kindle" (High Pyrrhian: ''Accendere'') and started constructed after the discovery of the Kiln. The exterior of the building has been completed, though the costly interior continues to be built by dedicated and religious builders.
