Mir'piamauza was a Gradorian empire of the Horgon Era. The empire's heart was Kathodrarg, a city with vast gold and adamantine rights. Much of the empire's food came from the fishing companies of Tyk-Culten.

By 900 HE, Mir'piamauza had become a rich empire with a strong legal code, the Gradorian Codices; heavily influenced by the legal code of Asmodeus's own government. The empire kept the population happy by spending lavishly on public works, establishing free schools of the arcane, the sciences, the arts, and many others.

In 1209 HE, the Voyage of the Trielasog led to the discovery of the Sea Tunnel and the founding of Varrogrith. This put Mir'piamauza's interests in the sphere of an equally powerful empire.

The Zeymah'kein and the Mir'piamauza are destined to wage war. Like us, the Gradorian, the Scion of Asmodeus, have a warrior tradition, and worse a desire to dominate those around.

- Negmarni, Zeymah'kein historian - "The Gradorian Menance"

In 1216 HE, Mir'piamauza declared war on the Zeymah'kein. It was the first of the Burn Wars (1216 HE - 1600 HE), on and off conflict for three centuries, ending in victory for Mir'piamauza. Wars heavily financed with the gold of local merchant lords and foreign lenders, Mir'piamauza economy suffered under the weight of debt. After eight years of this, certain interests decided to cede from the empire, breaking their link to the empire's debt. With the merchant lords and other scapegoats in the cross-hairs, many fled to other lands. By the end of the Mir'piamauza Civil War (1608 HE - 1612 HE), the empire was no more. Some of its holdings became independent city-states, others the spoils of those looking to settle old scores with Mir'piamauza.
