Parshita, sometimes known as Southeast Miraria, refers geographically to the southeastern region of Miraria, east of Vaniua. In a narrower sense, it refers to a cultural grouping of Paroan, Tinetic, Kame, Daleic and Milevic countries. The term Parshita derives from the name of the sea seperating Miraria and Baredina, the Parshita sea.

Notable geographic features of Parshita include the Miralaya mountain range in the north, the Parshitan Plain in the east, the Kame Mountains[Temporary] in the centre-west, the ___ Bay[Name to be determined] and the Nrekodo Rainforest[Temporary] in the south.

Parshita is home to one of the four cradles of civilisation on Sahar, the Darim cradle.

History

One of Sahar's earliest civilisations, the ancient Darim, arose in the 4000s BC. Darim is often credited with the independent invention of writing, and the advent of agriculture in Miraria.

Parshita has seen the rise and fall of several other powerful empires, including the ??? Empire and the Milevic Empire. Parshita was also extensively colonised by the Terminian Empire and the Shohuanese Empire from the 1600s until the mid-1800s. A vestige of this colonial era, The Kaisen remains a dependency of Cerman.

Countries

By most counts, fourteen countries are included in the modern definition of Parshita. These are:

Some wider definitions of Parshita may also include Temay and even Amaia.

Religion

Some Parshitans continue to practice traditional Parshitan and Milevic indigenous beliefs, however most Parshitans follow foreign religions (mostly Pashaism and Pauegism). These were brought to the region from the 1400s onwards by merchants and colonists from Ekuosia, Terminia and Vaniu. Today, religious divides, and in some regions conflict between the two foreign religions, plague the region, and many countries are split between 2 or 3 religious populations.
