Zenoristore VIII (Dagoș Răzvanni Odobricci) was Imperator of Caphiria from 1328 to 1341. A member of the Odobricci Estate, Zenoristore VIII was a wealthy senator and a prominent aristocrat, having secured the throne by taking part in the Salgrate conspiracy, an assassination plot against Zenoristore VII, his elder brother and Imperator. Despite reigning for 13 years, Zenoristore VIII's reign was highly impactful: he built 121 Agras (rest houses) every fifteen kilometers along raised highways for travellers and citizens, was victorious in numerous military campaigns, and strengthened the Imperium's western provinces through great projects and personal investment. However, Zenoristore VIII was considered highly controversial even by ancient standards: he began his political career by forcing a rival Estate's widow to marry him and forcing her daughter to marry his (yet to be conceived) son, he was involved in frequent sex scandals during his terms as a Senator, his role in the Salgrate conspiracy made him wildly unpopular as an Imperator, and in his later years converted from Catholicism tooccultum occidens cursite, a pagan religion originating from the Western provinces.
