	\|chapter1=The ~~Gathering of the Army~~		\|chapter1=The Divine Sol
	\|text1=~~When Cyrus summoned the Greek mercenaries~~, he ~~did so under~~ the ~~pretense of an expedition against the Pisidians~~, ~~a warlike people dwelling~~ in ~~the mountains~~. ~~Many of~~ the ~~generals suspected no greater design~~, ~~though a few~~ had ~~heard rumors of a more ambitious undertaking~~.		\|text1=Rejoice, for I bring you glorious news, God is in his heaven, and he loves you. So speaks our gospel, carried through the eras by heralds, scribes, and priests, written in paper, stone, and vellum. It is the unbroken truth, that which had survived the times when faith was wounded and meek, tarnished by those whose hearts have faltered.

	~~Clearchus of Sparta was among the first to assemble his men~~. ~~Though harsh in discipline~~, he ~~was respected for~~ his ~~experience in war. The soldiers, many of whom were exiles or men driven by poverty~~, ~~followed him willingly~~, ~~preferring danger to idleness~~.		Sol is not distant, nor is he silent or neglectful. He manifests before our very eyes each day, for the day begins when he rises above the horizon; the golden fire above the world, the undying flame that purges filth. Every dawn is his greeting, every noon is dominion, and every dusk his deliverance.

	As the ~~army gathered~~, ~~it became clear that Cyrus possessed great wealth~~ and ~~ambition. Supplies were plentiful~~, ~~pay was promised generously~~, and the ~~men were confident that fortune favored them. Yet few understood~~ the ~~true aim~~ of the ~~march~~.		The Divine Sol is the sole god whose life has witnesses, whose power can be pointed to with mortal hands. Unlike the false gods of heathens and the unenlightened, his form does not reside in idols, or stones, or carvings and drawings of artisans; He soars through the sky horizon to horizon before the nations of the world.

	~~\|chapter2=The Death~~ of ~~Cyrus~~		Thus our faith was founded not by rumor, nor by the mutterings of men upon mountains, but upon sight itself. What priest may lie about the Sun, when the Sun disproves him with his daily rise? Sol requires no temple to shelter Him, no roof to hide his incandescence. His cathedral is the firmament, His altar the very world itself.
	~~\|text2=At Cunaxa~~ the ~~armies met. Cyrus~~, ~~seeing his brother Artaxerxes among~~ the ~~enemy, charged directly at~~ him with ~~a small band of followers~~. ~~He struck~~ the ~~king~~, ~~but was himself struck down in~~ the ~~confusion of battle~~.

	~~When word~~ of ~~Cyrus's death spread~~, ~~despair fell upon the Greeks~~. ~~Their employer was dead~~, ~~they stood deep in hostile territory~~, and they ~~were surrounded by enemies. Many believed all was lost~~.		Yet not all that walk his holy earth receive his blessings, though even those that do not follow him are granted warmth. The condition of the lands beneath his grace reflects his love. Lands where order is kept, where law is upheld prosper under his gentle care. Lands consumed by vices, sins, and chaos will receive no gifts and in his name will they be punished.

	~~Yet~~ the ~~Greek forces had not been defeated in battle. Their ranks remained intact, and their discipline held. This fact, though small, would prove decisive in the days to come~~.		Sol is the measure of all things.

	\|~~chapter3~~=~~The Treachery of Tissaphernes~~		\|chapter2=Sol Invictus
	\|~~text3~~=~~Tissaphernes~~, ~~a Persian satrap, approached~~ the ~~Greeks with offers~~ of peace and ~~safe passage. Trusting his words~~, the ~~generals agreed to a meeting under truce~~.		\|text2=Throughout the eras of history, there were those that rose above the rest and took up the burden of leadership. When the world suffers from famine or war, and when it flourishes in peace and abundance, there will ever be that figure that stands vigilant as the will of Sol made flesh, Sol’s great Mandate given life.

	~~There they were seized and put to death~~. ~~News of~~ the ~~betrayal struck~~ the ~~camp like a blow~~. ~~The army was left leaderless~~, ~~surrounded~~, and ~~without guides~~.		The Solist Church teaches that such leaders do not arise by mere cosmic coincidence. In each era, among all the nations under the heavens, there comes one whom Sol marks with his blessing. This chosen bearer is known as the Sol Invictus – the Unconquered Sun, the mortal through whom divine authority is measured, the lawgiver in a world which falls to shadow and disorder so easily.

	~~In this moment~~ of ~~crisis~~, the ~~soldiers gathered~~ and ~~spoke among themselves. They resolved not to surrender~~, ~~but to elect new leaders from among~~ their own ~~ranks and attempt the long march home~~.		Sol Invictus is not a title given by blood or lineage, nor is it guaranteed by mortal decree. His authority is the consequence of recognition: first by Sol’s own choosing, then by the Church’s insight and enlightenment, and finally, by the people who witnessed the shaping of their era before their own eyes.

	~~\|chapter4=The Long Retreat~~		At the time of this writing, His Majesty, the Emperor of Ashenheim bears this mantle. His reign is marked by the beginning of the Third Era, and with it, the slow triumph of law and justice.
	~~\|text4=Through snow and hostile lands~~ the ~~Greeks marched northward~~. ~~Hunger, cold~~, and ~~constant skirmishes wore them down~~, ~~yet discipline~~ and ~~mutual trust sustained them~~.

	~~At last, from a mountain ridge,~~ the ~~cry rang out: "The sea! The sea!" The sight~~ of the ~~Black Sea renewed their spirits~~, ~~for~~ it ~~meant they were once more among Greek lands~~.		The primary duty of Sol Invictus is the fostering of order. As Sol governs the day by predictable motion, so must his chosen govern the realm. Disorder, when unchecked, casts shadows across all lands under Sol’s light. Therefore, it is the charge of Sol Invictus to defeat disorder and to bring forth a new serenity.

	~~Though many hardships yet remained~~, the ~~greatest danger was past~~. ~~Their march became~~ a ~~testament~~ to ~~endurance~~, ~~leadership~~, and the power of ~~men bound by shared fate~~.		To follow Sol Invictus is not to worship a man, but to honour the judgement of Sol himself. For the Unconquered serves not as a god, nor as an idol, but as the earthly instrument of divine will, appointed to rule when the world most needs him.

			Sol Invictus is the hand of Law.

			\|chapter3=The Solar Commandments
			\|text3=Thou shalt accept Sol as the true Divine, the Sustainer, the giver of Life and the everlasting Flame of the heavens.

			Thou shalt meet morning with reverence, and greet sunrise with prayer or with honest labor.

			Thou shalt praise Sol Invictus who was appointed through divine will, not as a god, but as the giver of law.

			Thou shalt uphold strength of faith, mind, and body, for the weak of will invite disorder.

			Thou shalt aid the lowly, defend the innocent, and stand firm against the unjust. Show mercy to the faithful and justice to the wicked.

			Let thy strength be disciplined and thy courage tempered, for power without measure is tyranny, and fear without cause is darkness.

			Thou shalt render justice without malice and mercy without weakness, thou shalt make the choice that is closest to the will of Sol.

			Thou shalt not profane nature, for it endures though Sol’s own light.

			Thou shalt shun the word of darkness – treachery, malice, and the counsel of the wicked – and remain in Sol’s holy grace.
