A theocratic empire ruled by the God King Xut-Doon from the capital at Zubayr, sustained by his power over the rains. It fractured after Blackblade orc assassins wounded the God King and stole the rune crystals, and collapsed into famine, drought and independent provinces.

Record Notes
About this record: art and source provenance, discrepanciesRETYPED 2026-08-02 from a location stub. NOTE: `149-parverean-empire` is a second stub for the same polity and should be folded in during the h-149 pass. The fall, per the h-172 sources: Blackblade Tribe assassins and thieves were sent to kill Xut-Doon and steal the holy artifacts of power. Only the God King's power together with help from Indar preserved the Empire at all — but the orcs escaped with powerful artifacts and Xut-Doon was wounded. Without his full power the rains failed. Within a few years many openly questioned him. Challengers rose and were crushed with merciless efficiency. When Indar left Parverea for parts unknown, Xut-Doon could no longer keep the peace and each province claimed independence. Zubayr became a political warzone crowded with the poor and starving. Xut-Doon ordered his temple guard to purge all opposition from the city — the first temple wars — and later decreed a second purge. The God King is identified in `PilotStar/Diety Grid.csv` as **Zashiek Flamebringer**, whose grid note reads 'Xut-Doon and Parverea'.
