The '''Solar Ecclesiarchy of Erses''' (High Pyrrhian: ''Ecclesia Solari Erses''), also known as the '''Ecclesiarchy''' or '''Solaris''', is a large religion with over 150 practitioners, being the state enforced religion of the theocratic monarchy of the [[SolarHoly Solarian Empire of Arith]], the religions birthplace, asbeing wellthe ashomeland of the theocratic[[Pyrrhians]] monarchyat inthe core of the SolarEmpire, Dominionas well as the theocratic monarchies of Eldia and Elyria. 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.

St. Chickenprism’s feast day is January 20th
 
=== Saint Irithil the Protector ===
Saint Irithil, also known as Lady Irithil, is the Patron Saint of Irithil, a city named in her honour.
 
Irithil was an Elven woman who led and founded the settlement which would later become the city of Irithil and the beacon of Moria. It is said that Irithil prayed to Solaris Erses for strength and guidance in leading her people, and devoted herself truly to His teachings, and was blessed by the Solar Father with strength physically and emotionally, as her soul was reinforced with His strength.
 
The Lady went on to grow wings, which she is often depicted with today, and is a true sign of her piety. It is said that her spirit still guards and blesses the city which is named in her honour with prosperity and longevity
 
Lady Irithil was canonized by the Ecclesiarchy after the sudden and surprise conversion and baptism of Lixionit V of North Moria at the Accenderatus in Solar Pyrrhus. Lixionit claimed he had a dream where he witnessed the events of Saint Irithil's life and had set sail for Pyrrhus to find the truth. Following his petition to canonize his city's patron, the Ecclesiarchat convened and decided upon it as Lixionit had proved his piety and righteousness before the Lord by getting baptised publicly.
