The Church of Solaria

The Church of Solaria, founded by the Minerva Family in the early days of Kaldor, is the current ruling power. Without the monarchy, the Church's influence and power has been able to grow unchecked for decades. The Church has many different branches.

The Clergy
The Clergy act as the main branch of the Church, making all of the decisions for the nation. The clergy also oversees the other branches.

The Knights of Solaria
Also known as the Reapers, the Knights were created at some point after the Minerva Dynasty, and their creation is commonly agreed on by historians to be the reason the Church rose to such incredible political power. Though originally created to serve the monarchy, the true allegiance of the Reapers was always to the High Priests of the Church.

The Sol Guard
The Sol Guard was created after the fall of the Monarchy, to maintain order in Kaldor. They are the largest branch of the Church, and are also the largest standing army in Kaldor. They enforce the Church's rule and are often sent in as the "shock troops" against rebels and heretics. Often, when the Banner of the Sol Guard approaches, a Reaper is seen leading the charge.

The Inquisition
The Inquisition was formed in the early days of the Church as their research and development branch. The dark inquiries made by the Inquisition are the subject of myth. They are responsible for the many dark, arcane experiments that have stained the history of both the Church, and Kaldor as a whole. Shortly after their creation, Michelangelo Vestus, an Inquisition monk, took issue with the methods of the institution, and parted ways, forming his own research group which later became known as the School of Vestus.
