His Most Serene and Excellent Majesty the Maharajadhiraja Krishnaraja III approves this entry
The Empire of Parbhani is located in North Aranye. It is an Empire that has been brought to the realisation of the truth of the Gods of Heaven and the rightful rule of the Maharajadhiraja (Great King of Kings) who is owed tribute and honour by those fortunate enough to be under his supreme wisdom and guidance. The true number of Parbhani's is difficult to ascertain as the remoteness of some regions of the Empire make accurate recording difficult and so the total number of subjects is something known only to the Maharajadhiraja however it is thought to be in the region of 180million individuals.
As one would expect the Empire is blessed in both quantity and quality of resources. It's hillsides are full of silver while its forests boast of many natural resources. The Empire has cultivated vast rubber and cotton plantations which have seen raise to industries such as manufacturing take place.
The Empire is ruled by a Maharajadhiraja who is in effect a "Revealed God". Many millenia ago a civil war of sorts broke out among the Gods of Heaven, the Gods of the Underworld and several Mundus dwelling spiritual beings. During this war the Gods sent Urmila, a goddess, to Mundus to hide among humanity to ensure should the Gods of Heaven be defeated mankind could be called to fight against the others. Urmila spent ten years living in human form and even convinced the spirits to ally themselves with the Gods of Heaven. In her time on Mundus Urmila felt more at home than in Heaven with the Gods and so once victory was assured she elected to stay on Mundus as a human however in the celebration of their victory she laid with her lover, the God Varchas and conceived a child. Even though she had now elected human form and a mortal existence it did not stop her giving birth to a God as a child. Suhotra was born in a mortal physical form however was blessed with all the knowledge and wisdom of the Gods. In the years following the War of the Gods many of the Gods visited Mundus to spend time with their friend Urmila and her son Suhotra. These visits saw many human women blessed with children of their own who were born as Demi-Gods. Urmila arranged multiple marriages between the female Demi-Gods and her son Suhotra unaware that there was a chance their offspring would be born as a full God in human form much like Suhotra. Upon the death of Urmila she ascended back to heaven. After his death at the age of 300 Suhotra left instructions on how to discover which of his 173 children were Gods and his rightful successor.
Suhotra instructed that his body be burnt to release his God Spirit which would ascend to heaven. His ashes must be mixed with suet and seeds and moulded to form spheres for each of his male children. Each of his sons would sit beneath a string on which a sphere was suspended. A single sparrow would then be released in the room, as the sparrow is the messenger bird of the Gods. The sparrow would recognise the ashes would only permit themselves to be above another God and so the sparrow would begin to feed from one of the spheres and thus would have identified the successor and therefore the child born as a God.
