Church of Sol

The Church of Sol is a religious organization and belief system which had its origins in the Imperium. In the Imperium the sun god Sol was just one of many gods in a vast pantheon. Sol was popular among the peasantry, as he was seen as the God of Light and the Harvest. The mage-lords tended to venerate the twin moon goddesses Luna and Selene, which were regarded as the goddesses of magic and mystery. 
With the fall of the Imperium most of the Imperial Pantheon fell out of favour. Sol came to be seen as the only "true" deity. Other "gods" were either condemned as demons, or subordinated to Sol in the belief system. Many believed that the fall of the Imperium and the subsequent chaos was a result of humanity's sin; men had delved into forbidden magic, and venerated demons as gods. As punishement the Imperium had been destroyed, and the barrier between world breached, allowing elves and other monsters to invade Adar. 
The Church teaches that humans are the chosen people of the sun, and have been given Adar as their rightful domain. According to the Church each of the other mortal races have a "fatal flaw", such as Greed, or Pride. Because of these flaws only humans are truly fit to rule.
Sol worship is popular in the former territories of the Imperium. The Church itself is based out of the Myzian Empire, and are often accused of advancing its interests abroad.
