The Aethereal Ecclesiarchy of Aneros (High Solyssian: 𐌰𐌴𐌸𐌴𐍂𐌹𐍉𐍃 𐌴𐌺𐌺𐌻𐌴𐍃𐌹𐍉𐍃 𐌴𐌹𐍃 𐌰𐌽𐌴𐍂𐍉𐍃, translit. Aetherios Ecclesios eis Aneros) also known as the Ecclesiarchy, its High Solyssian equivalent - Ecclesios - or simply as Anerosei, is the state religion of the Anercratum of Astarios, a theocratic absolute monarchy from which Anerosei originated. The Ecclesiarchy is headed by the Anercrat, a High Solyssian word which most literally translated into English is "God's Ruler". The Anercrat of the Ecclesiarchy is, in tradition with his ancestors, always held by the eldest male (and therefore head) of House Cestari, as the title is hereditary and has been passed down from the founder of the Ecclesiarchy and Solestra, Konstantious Cestari all the way to his descendant Melevor Cestari, the current Anercrat.

The Ecclesiarchy teaches that the Anercrat descends from a long an ancient bloodline of previous divinely mandated rulers originating from the bloodline of Ior Cestar, the son of Aneros, the sole God of the Faith, and thus is given a divine mandate from the heavens. The hierarchy of the Ecclesiarchy is built upon the infallibility and supremacy of the Anercrat, who assigns a number of Ecclesiarchs, typically highly experienced Solestran clergymen, to help govern the Ecclesiarchys day-to-day functions. The primus inter pares of these Ecclesiarchs is the Ecclesiarch of Solestra itself, named the Chancellor of the Ecclesiarchy, and who serves as the Prelate of the Aneriad, the Faith's main church. Below the Ecclesiarchs is the position of Primate, who are two clergyman appointed by the Anercrat to oversee the affairs of the Ecclesiarchy in the two hemispheres of the world - east, and west. Below a Primate is a Patriarch, a clergyman who oversees a large territory and a number Prelacies known as a Patriarchy - typically a continent, sub-continent or large country. Below a Patriarch is the posts of Archprelate and Prelate, the positions most similar to that of a Bishop, overseeing numerous Anerchorias from a Cathedral known as a Prelacy, an Archprelate has the same authority as a regular Prelate, they are simply recognised as senior. The two most common positions within the Ecclesiarchy's hierarchy are those of Archpriest and Priest, both of which oversee a similar type of ministry, but of different forms, known as a Anerchoria. An Archpriest oversees a Chantry which is fixed, as in it is bound to an appointed geographical position like a Choria building. A Priest, on the other hand, is a wandering priest-missionary, who conducts Anerosei masses and rituals without a fixed Choria building and works to convert others. The distinction between the two is a recent one emerging from the reforms of Anercrat Melevor Cestari.

Anerosei is a monotheistic faith, through which one God created all things.
