The Empire of Narthezeem is an obscure empire of Animal-headed Demigods who fell 10.000 years ago due to what is described in translated texts as The Ebon Flame. Only a few ruins are proof of its existence, but the powerful magical relics found in them prove that this empire was a powerful one. It is known that Alkhazir was connected to the Empire in the decades before their fall, so some rumors theorize that Alkhazir was somehow responsible for the Empire’s fall.
The Lord of Knowledge explains that the demigods of Narthezeem were organized into castes: the crocodile figure belongs to the caste that governs the River.
