Mir'piamauza was a Gradorian empire of the Horgon Era. The empire's core was Kathodrarg, a city endowed with copious gold and adamantine resources. The fishing enterprises of Tyk-Culten provided a significant portion of the empire's sustenance.

By 900 HE, the Mir'piamauza Empire had flourished into a prosperous domain, boasting a robust legal framework known as the Gradorian Codices, which drew heavily from the administrative practices of Asmodeus's own government. The empire ensured the contentment of its populace by generously funding an array of public projects, including the establishment of free institutions dedicated to the arcane arts, the sciences, and the creative disciplines, among others.

In the year 1209 HE, the Voyage of the Trielasog resulted in the discovery of the Sea Tunnel and the establishment of Varrogrith. This development placed Mir'piamauza's interests within the domain of an equally formidable empire.

The Zeymah'kein and the Mir'piamauza are destined to engage in conflict. Similar to us, the Gradorian, the Scion of Asmodeus, possess a warrior heritage and an inclination to subjugate those in their proximity.

In 1216 HE, Mir'piamauza declared war on the Zeymah'kein. This marked the beginning of the Burn Wars, an intermittent conflict that spanned three centuries, ultimately culminating in victory for Mir'piamauza. The Burn Wars lasted from 1216 HE to 1600 HE. These protracted wars were heavily financed by the wealth of local merchant lords and foreign lenders, placing a significant strain on Mir'piamauza's economy due to the burden of debt. After eight years, certain factions sought to secede from the empire, severing their ties to the empire's debts. With the merchant lords and other scapegoats in their sights, many fled to other lands. By the conclusion of the Mir'piamauza Civil War, which occurred from 1608 HE to 1612 HE, the empire had ceased to exist. Some of its territories became independent city-states, while others fell into the hands of those seeking to settle old scores with Mir'piamauza.
