The Solarium

The Solarium is a religious/military order based in the Elorian Empire with a focus on the arcane.

The Solarium is not quite an order of magical errant knights, traveling about and dispensing justice and the like, but they do have an extremely loose hierarchy and not much in the realm of permanent infrastructure.

Instead, they studied the magical and technological arts, that they may, through their own efforts, bring such metaphysical power to bear upon their foes. In this way, they could honor their
