The Presently Guided Temple (also called the Present Temple, or simply as the Solar Temple by believers) is a denomination of the Solar Temple, the predominant form of monotheistic worship. It split with various Old Temple patriarchies in the period 1617-1620 due to the controversy surrounding the Illumination of its incumbent patriarch, Vesten; an additional wave of schism broke out in 1728.
The Supreme Patriarch (or Matriarch, as the case may be) is the paramount spiritual leader of the Present Temple, and temporal absolute monarch of the Aelian States.
