Zarah Fyre is a Chimerian Princess of House Fyre, and former House Verburyc, who currently serves as the Second in Command in Chimeria, known as the Fist of the Empire. Zarah Fyre first was born onto Abexilas before the Rain and Flood of Abexilas, and resurfaced with Skurgekal to found Surinna with Kišahar, King of Gods, which led to the creation of the state Ansharra within the Eternal Chimerian Empire.
== History ==
=== Early Life ===
==== Pre-historic Abexilas ====
In the time before the Rain and Flood of Abexilas many peoples of different races who populated the earth and among them were the Ansharrai, who were created and gifted to Réa the Nuzuadimi of the Earth, by Eamaa the Turnirguzi of Motherhood, Waters, and Life. In this time there was peace and plenty, as peoples roamed freely. But unbeknownst to the peoples of the Abexilas, there was a war brewing between the Nuzuadimi and Turnirguzi which threatened all life. Réa knew of the impending possibility of doom and did her best to take all life and protect it from any dangers. Then came the Rain and Flood of Abexilas which wiped out all life not sheltered by Réa. After the flood waters receded, foreigners came from worlds afar to conquer and spread their imperial reach throughout Abexilas. 
==== Journey to Rozakkora ====
It took a month for Réa to release her protected life from her embrace, in which the Ansharrai returned to the world. Skurgekal Menan-Urasha emerged first and went sailing down a river and suddenly discovered Kišahar the Turnirguzi of Kingship, Order, and Mercy. He was ordered to travel south to the continent of Rozakko'ra and found a city alongside the canyon splitting the Mesa as a Holy City of Kišahar. Skurgekal met Zarah, who was convinced and enthralled by appearance of Kišahar and joins Skurgekal on his journey to the Holy land, and once there, they founded Surinna.
A few days later Skurgekal ventured North to the capital of the Eternal Chimerian Empire to seek approval for his claim on the Mesa, to which he was met with open arms and full support and backing from the Chimerian Emperor Thesseion. As Skurgekal joined the Chimerian Empire, so did Zarah with him. 
=== Eternal Chimerian Empire ===
Not too long after joining the Empire, Surinna received its first encounter with foreign peoples from another land by crossing a crude bridge made of cobbled stones across the canyon nearby. They came making proclamations of their queen Raviana, but quickly their statements became pointed as they spoke down on the Ansharrai there before them. They called the Ansharrai and Surinna primitive, and left thinking the peoples they met were beneath themselves.
Days later Zarah decided to make a journey to the capital city of the empire, Blackthorn, for she hadn't seen it before and wished to get to know the Chimerian people better. While yes, the Chimerians were very welcoming when she first arrived, some were a bit too boisterous. But Zarah did her best to make friends and offer help where it was needed in the town. Some Chimerians where shocked at the prospect of adding a woman to their ranks as they explained it, to them women were a precious commodity. While such comments could be mistaken for flattery, or reverence, Zarah would later discover that this same "boon" of her origin, would also become a reasoning for Chimerians to turn on her in the future. 
==== Princess of Chimeria ====
Her friendly nature caught the eye of the Emperor of Chimeria, Thesseion, for she was offering help to people around blackthorn, mainly with her gardening skills and designing of interiors. He, with his supreme power unchallenged, forcefully adopted Zarah into his royal family, House Verburyc, as he isn't able to have children, and was seeking an heir that was worthy to replace him whether he pass or retire. Thesseion then assigned Zarah as the Crown Princess of The Eternal Chimerian Empire, and Heir of the House Verburyc.
Zarah was honored to be given such a position, however she was curious about why the Emperor would grant such a position to someone who was so new to the Empire, as she did not grow up a royal, nor did she have experience leading a nation. Emperor Thesseion and his Right Hand of the Empire, Chaos, discussed with her extensively on why she was chosen and what they expected from her. She was told that due to her ability to be molded and to learn that she will inherit the throne of Chimeria and the House Verburyc once Thesseion passes or steps down. They reassured her that she would become a fierce and smart ruler. They explained that being a woman in this new world would benefit her greatly, as women were a precious commodity, and a female leader even rarer, and that her simple words would carry far more weight and worth than if she were not a woman.
She took her position as Crown Princess very seriously as she ensured to complete each task she was given and handled all conflicts with professionalism. Weeks later however, she noticed that all guidance and training from Thesseion seemed to die off. He promised that he would train her but she was often left to figure things out on her own. She reached out to try to continue the training but was met with instructions to learn from sitting and observing in political talks. This continued to happen and as such, Zarah started to realize what her purpose really was in the Empire as she was ordered to discuss issues with people Thesseion simply did not want to deal with, and to be forced into marriages to solve the Empires problems.
The arranged marriages by Thesseion began with the forced marriage to secure land, which was never honored, and to work towards a merger with Yimmuralia, by marrying Saemos Valtheim, the Former Regent of Yimmuralia. The second marriage, a day after the first, was to reign in the Faerican peoples who were in a high tension relationship with Chimeria by securing a merger. Which did work, for about a week until the Faerican peoples rebelled against their corrupt leader who forced the merger to join Chimeria in order to marry Zarah. The faerican peoples split off until reunifying back under Chimeria as a separate state weeks later.
==== Ascension to the throne ====
As time passed and many issues came and went, such as the Faerican Rebellion, The Rhodockian Rebellion, The Mando Rebellion, and the constant tensions with Yimmuralia, Emperor Thesseion wished to retire and announced to his peoples that Zarah will be ascending the throne as Empress of Chimeria in the weeks to come. A loud minority of peoples, mostly from the Chimerian State of Khyos, were not happy about this as they were long time citizens of Chimeria and had an issue with a woman ascending the throne. In the time coming up to Thesseions stepping down, the state leader of Khyos began writing up a government rework proposal in order to lessen the powers granted to the future empress and instead push the Empire to a democracy.
In the Eternal Chimerian Empire any attempts to form a democracy or to undermine imperial authority is met with quick and precise strikes to destroy any challenge to the throne, and the leader of Khyos knew this. He posted his proposals called "the Schnurr accords" to the Senate and Council floor abusing and overthrowing the current government structure and declared the proposal passed within 3 hours of its posting, all which took place while many Chimerians were asleep. The Emperor had an emergency occur and called a meeting to quickly announce his retirement and passing the Throne and Crown to the new Emperor, Empress Zarah Verburyc. 
==== Khyosian insurrection ====
The Khyosians planned for this as when their illegal proposal was struck down for democratic ideas and for illegally bringing their proposal to both floors, which would have happened to any illegal democratic bill, this loud minority framed it as the Empress instantly abusing her authority and power to oppress what they positioned as what the majority of the Nation wanted. They made their position known in Chimeria by constantly tearing down the new Empress and making many sexist comments such as blaming all issues Thesseion left for Chimeria on Zarah being a woman.
There were many notable individuals who joined in on the harassment and insurrection. The leader of Khyos threatened to secede due to their contempt for Zarah and his belief that a woman was unworthy of inheriting the throne, The leader of Goldmire, Sharky Verburyc, who was once the Crown Prince and a Chimerian Lord, yet because he failed to grow his town or to build anything in it, had stepped down out of shame and embarrassment but came back to challenge Zarah and begged to be reinstated as a Lord. Navy246, a Chimerian Lord, and leader of a collection of 2 houses and one other citizen east of blackthorn, spoke out and challenged Zarah's ascent to the throne, P7ie, a newly appointed Oligarch, leader of a small island off the coast of Khyos, with no buildings or citizens, also joined in the undermining of Zarah's authority as he leaked classified messages throughout the nation, as before Thesseion left he assigned P7ie as one of Zarah's advisors. Yet time and time again P7ie leaked countless information and undermined any decision she took. When Zarah would attempt to remove him from his position, she was met with opposition and was forced to reinstate the untrustworthy advisor by Thesseion regardless of what actions P7ie took. Due to the constant infighting and the failure of Thesseion to support or help teach Zarah, specifically on what she should do in these moments of high tensions, the oligarchs around Zarah discussed ousting Zarah from power behind her back rather than helping her maintain order by standing by her and putting their foot down on dissenters.
This manifested itself as Chaos going behind the Empress' back messaging citizens to go to him if they need something to go around the "Loopholes" of the Empress. As well as oligarchs such as Ender and The Architect asking Thesseion to come back rather than putting down the insurrection and solidifying Thesseions choice in Heir and Successor.
Eventually the issues became so prominent that Thesseion came back from his retirement and ousted Zarah from the Throne to appease the Khyosians and their insurrectionist allies. Thesseion then wrote up a constitution for Chimeria, it is presumed he was drunk when he wrote it as he has little to no memory of what is written. No insurrectionist challenged any of the new constitution, although they seemed to care a lot about the government and how it ran at the time, once Thesseion came back, they had no interest in democracy or reading the constitution. This leads some to believe they used the previous government as their justification for their actions, and given they had no interest in the current constitution it appears as if they were solely interested in who was in power.
==== Descension from the throne ====
After the insurrection and ousting from the Throne, Zarah returned to Ansharra to assist in the construction in Surinna and expansion of her domain of Uzalla, alongside her sister city of Baradinna.
After a month had passed Thesseion had disbanded House Verburyc and recreated a new House, House Fyre, in which he appointed Zarah again as the Heir to Fyre and the Throne of Chimeria.
