== Deities ==
=== Solzar ===
Solzar is the supreme god in the faith, being the life force of all things and the creator of all light. Solzar in essence is viewed as not just the commander of light but light itself. This incarnation of light is what many in the faith call the 'spirit of Solzar' not a being to worship but more of an acknowledged force present within all things. Solzar is worshipped in many ways mostly through sacrifices and collective worship, most importantly sacrificing animals under the noon sun when light is at its brightest.
==== Solzar-Lux ====
while not being separate beings from Solzar-Prime, the entity in its entirety, the three phases of Solzar represent the three suns. Solzar-Primus being the morning sun the dawn, when Solzar's light first first hits the earth. It is deemed to be the freshest of light and to have motivating properties.
==== Solzar-Deus ====
Solzar Meridica is the noon sun of the Solzar god-head, the most powerful and intense manifestation of Solzar, when his light is most upon us and his divine connection is at its strongest. Most if not all rituals take place in this time as to have the highest effect.
==== Solzar-Carnis ====
The setting sun, when Solzar calls his light back to let the world rest and recover for the next cycle of the day.
== Creedicus Primus ==
The Solzarian Order is founded upon this here creed: We believe in Solzar, the eternal Light, of Heaven and earth; and in this Divine order, His Divine bastion against heresy, Which was Born by the Spirit of Solzar, the Light of the purest form, sworn under holy relics, in life, death, and beyond.
The founding Creed, Creedicus Primus, has been essential to the building of the order. It establishes the faith in itself and also how the order should conduct itself. Many other creeds and sacraments base themselves on it and without it the faith would not be what we know today. 
== Practices ==
The Solzarian Order, mostly venerate light in its physical form as Solzar by offering animals in sacrifice and conducting sun rituals.
=== Rite of Illumination ===
This ritual involves a series of meditative and devotional practices designed to connect the individual with the divine light and to bring about a sense of enlightenment and inner peace. Participants in the Rite of Illumination may engage in activities such as chanting, prayer, and the offering of symbolic gifts to Solzar. The ritual is typically performed in a special consecrated space, such as a temple or sacred sun temples, and is led by a designated enlightened ones. The goal of the Rite of Illumination is to connect individuals directly to Solzars light, in their lives, and to bring them closer to the divine source of Solzar and enlightenment.
The Rite is almost performed daily, many individuals do it in their own time or go to be apart of the collective. It usually does take place in sacred areas however overtime the Rite has been adapted to be a more complex and physical act of prayer to Solzar

The specific details of the ritual may vary depending on the traditions and values of the particular creed in question. When one is to accept the first creed they must cleanse themselves not only in body but in spirit, by allowing ones self to be set alight in holy fire to the brink of death, emptying out the old, so that consecrated food and water may be consumed to show the acceptance of Solzar into the sprit and body .The goal of the Initiation of the Creeds is to welcome the new member into the community and to reaffirm the bonds of friendship, loyalty, and solidarity that exist within the faith.
