Khazarkar Purity Edict

The bug world does it, the animal world does it with mares taken to the strongest and healthiest stud of their kind, so why shouldn't we do the same and make the Khazarkars just another step closer to perfect.

The Khazarkar Empire utilize the sacrosanct practice of selective breeding. For over nine hundred years, on advice of the Phâte Ubrî , the empire has a practice of eliminating the weak and undesirable characteristics from their gene pools. Dating to the period of the First Khazarkar Empire when a monarchy reigned, the Khazarkar Purity Edict it was enacted by Queen Dras'ee. It was based on a similar practice used on minotaur slaves under the Minotaur Cultural Edict (420 - 796).

Against this practice, when the Eldritch Conclave came to power in 993, it was stopped.

In 1060, after the Pharzîmrâth had consolidated their hold over the people, the Khazarkar Purity Edict was reinstated. As a result of the Khazarkar Purity Edict, the Khazarkar are of pure blood, like the pureness of a true dragon, untainted by the mixing of Creation, or so the Phâte Ubrî have claimed very effectively for the last nine centuries.

In hard-liner areas, Khazarkar laws and culture forbid interracial relations. Relations outside of a Khazarkar's caste are allowed but not common. Those born from two parents of different castes must have children that caste-up. If the child is born caste-down, then they are either put to death, or exiled. For the latter, they usually end up as an orphan of Khimilêth.
