==The Fall of the Holy Parette Empire==
In the end, it was 5th Deorr war the fragmented the Empire. The Imperial forces threw back 3 invasions in as many years, each larger than the last. The fourth year not one but four hordes invaded from the north, even with Peshtar and human mercenaries hired in their hundreds, the surviving Imperial armies could not hope to win. Still 3 of the hordes were thrown back in shambles, but by the time the Imperial armies confronted the last horde there was nothing left to resist, less than 100 knights remained backed up by only a few thousand foot soldiers.
Fortunately for what would become The Crowned Provinces, the last horde spent it's energy ravaging the other territories of the empire. When the horde marched on the crowned provinces they had had a year to prepare. What was left of their treasuries had been emptied to hire yet more mercaneries and every boy capable of holding a spear had been conscripted. The Crowned Provinces were able to hold their own lands from the Deorr, but were unable to regain other territories.
== Legacy ==
The prime legacy of the Holy Parette Empire is The Crowned Provinces. The core of the Empire is controlled by the Deorr. Some other fringes have survived as human territories, though their power is limited.
