Purge (event)



The Purge was a period of history during which the races of Zariphex resolved to remove all traces of the Zariphexen from the world. Very few records survived this period, which has infuriated historians to no end, and even brought to question whether the Zariphexen had ever existed at all. No one is exactly sure who started the Purge, but the general consensus is that it was meant as the ultimate way of discouraging emulation of the Zariphexen. This was proven ineffective when a similar situation occured with the Seventh Lodeborn Empire, after which a similar Purge was only barely avoided, and even then only thanks to the best efforts of the Middlers to keep the Lodeborn from going extinct.
