Revakgol Empire History (proposed package)

  "aliases": [
    "Zurgaasyol Settlement",
    "Second Gilded Flame (early)",
    "Post-Guttering Reknit"
  ],
  "content": {
    "causes": "Military victory of the reformist coalition; exhaustion of purist and march forces; popular and priestly investment in Aasa as prophetic Lokraasos exception (\u201cKaemisyol reborn\u201d). Without settlement, desertion and famine finish what civil war began.",
    "course": "9600: proclamation as Empress; Yol\u2019Kaeyoog-style emergency rule used surgically then relaxed into reformed law. Purges of purist command networks; public flame-rites that frame wings as cleansing sign, not Code breach. Negotiated client oaths with a minority of western/northern lords; deliberate non-campaign against most free marches (treasury and blood spent). Caste reforms: limited mobility for proven service; Kaegromik review courts; Tazri licensing recentralized; Paathur dignity reaffirmed under imperial appointment rules sharper than Ashen chaos but softer than late-peak humiliation. Dovaarein reseated with mixed loyalist and reformist blood. 9600\u20139605: Fourth Age closes on a state that exists again. Early Fifth Age: consolidation of roads, archives, and legion pay \u2014 the quiet work after the spectacle.",
    "legacy": "Template for later \u201cFlame Renewal\u201d language in Fifth Age reforms. Authoritarian stability: unity above mercy. Inspires Lokraasos veneration and purist underground alike. Explains present-day strength without present-day continental size. Bridges to Fifth Age foreign wars that seek metal and pride, not full reconquest of every lost watch-post.",
    "outcome": "Revakgol continues as a single empire in the eastern core. Aasa\u2019s legitimacy rests on victory + prophecy + reform, not on undoing Burned Stone entirely. Death year remains historically fogged (open); focus of record is reign-as-salvation.",
    "summary": "From 9600 MV, Empress Aasa Kairtis \u2014 Zurgaasyol, the Cleansing Flame \u2014 ends the civil wars\u2019 active phase, reasserts a single throne in Vusokaar, and reforms caste practice enough to keep the spine alive. The empire survives smaller: eastern core restored, lost western and northern rind mostly not reconquered. Her reign bridges the Fourth Age\u2019s end into the Fifth Age\u2019s uneasy recovery.",
    "territorial_change": "No return to Twin Pyres high-water. Core + selected loyal provinces = restored direct rule. Clients = light tribute and military access. Free/hostile rind = later map neighbors. Julot/Lingraasos special zone preserved where it did not fully bolt."
