Parshita is a region of southeastern Miraria stretching from the Naqui River in the west to the Shaelic Sea in the east. The exact borders of the region are unclear and hotly debated; some geographers include the entirety of the subregion of Milevia (including eastern Athsud), while other definitions consider Otsuk the easternmost part. The inclusion of Juhashka and Fazulavaz is also the subject of debate, though they are usually considered part of Northern Miraria instead.

Early Civilizations

Parshita has some of the earliest attestations of denser, more centralized, settlements, in the later half of the third millenium BCE in the area around what is presently the modern city of Phuc. There were several small city states in the area and along the river by 3200BC, and it is in those that the first attestation of writing in Parshita comes from, with the Darim logograms between 3200 and 3000BCE. This period also saw some technological diversification, especially regarding the riverboats used to traverse the Phuc river.

In ??? King Kooma conquers several of the city states in and around modern day Phuc and unites them into the Kooma Kingdom. Some term the period following this unification the Koomite Period. Both the Kooma Kingdom and other darim polities expand along the river in this period.

While Kooma's veracity as a historical figure is mostly agreed upon, in the centuries following his reign his story accumulated a number of supernatural feats and his figure becomes increasingly deified, to the extent religious groups eventually form around his worship.

In the 24th century BCE, what is believed to have been a massive hurricane ravages the parshitan lowlands, getting north of Phuc and fundamentally changing the balance of the population groups of the area, massively weakening the darim and tiengic polities, enough that around 2300BCE Kame groups conquer the Phuc region.

This ushers a period of tiengic migrations, primarily northward, eventually going all the way to present-day Temay. It is during this period that unambiguous religious worship of King Kooma, a practice termed as Koomism, is attested.
