Qophrae Civilization

The Qophrae Civilization is the modern name for an ancient Qirsyllvian, technologically advanced, empire that ruled much of Nekcroz and parts of Maritymir many thousands of years ago.
==History==
Not much is known about the history of the Qophrae, but it is generally agreed that their civilization thrived and collapsed many centuries before the first abjaksan, and possibly even before the lifetime of Tianne.
Not much is known about why the Qophrae civilization collapsed, and there is little evidence to draw any conclusion from, but most theories suggest it was either the result of a massive civil war or a deadly epidemic. Whatever the reason, their cities and settlements were soon abandoned.
=== Post-Collapse ===
After their collapse, the ruins of the Qophrae went relativity undisturbed until the ancient Soynaltians discovered some of them in Maritymir. The Soynaltians soon learned how to use the technology and began building their own empire with it. However, popularity in the technology declined significantly following the Great Ketellaao, a disaster that saw much of the Soynaltian Empire of the time wiped out by a misuse of a piece of the technology with the ill-used power of an abjaksan.
About two thousand years after the Great Ketellaao, more Qophrae ruins and technology were discovered in the southern Nekcrozi jungle by a tribe of lizardfolk. These lizardfolk soon learned how to use and adapted to the technology, soon building the Empire of Xotil, which has stood for thousands of years.
==Government==
Very little is known about their government, but partially translated glyphs suggest they were some sort of republic with an efficient bureaucratic government.
==Culture==
Very little is known about their culture.
==Technology==
What little is known about their technology is that it far surpasses anything of recent development. Discoveries made by the Soynaltians and the Xotil display rifles and cannons firing beams of energy rather than solid projectiles propelled by black power. Swords and shields similarly made of energy are common as well.
Qophrae technology also displays aircraft with the ability to fly without aide.
Despite the wonders, it is generally agreed that the technology is dangerous if misused, as demonstrated by the Great Ketelaao.
==Trivia==
*Qophrae is pronounced like: "Ko-fray"
*The Qophrae are partially inspired by the Cuotl of the game Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends.
