With the [[Fall of Anzo]] in May [[2024]], the Worshipful Realm was abolished. It was replaced by [[League-occupied Varshan]]. For most of its history, and particularly between its destruction of the [[North Songun civilization]] and [[The Deluge]], it was the dominant power in [[Crona]]. | With the [[Fall of Anzo]] in May [[2024]], the Worshipful Realm was abolished.

The term "Zurgite Varshan" was coined in [[2027]] to refer to Varshan functionally as it had existed from pre-history through the [[Final War of the Deluge]]. This term described this version of Varshan as organically the same being developing throughout history with various geopolitical developments altering the same continuity. The term was devised specifically to indicate a non-continuity of [[League-occupied Varshan]] and the post-occupation government. The term has been criticized by opponents of the occupation as implying a kind of cultural genocide, while a small segment of opponents prefer the term "Žuqulid Varshan" to repudiate only Varshan's post-15th century institutions. | |||

The lands comprising modern Varshan were once inhabited by a variety of different Cronite peoples belonging to several different linguistic families. These peoples, most of which have been lost to history, were all tribally-organised until the early Cronite Bronze Age, when city-states began to develop in the region's fertile river valleys. The area now known as ''Umzàg'' or Central Varshan, emerged as the most heavily urbanized part of north central Crona, possibly as a result of its fertile volcanic soils and geographic circumscription by high mountain ranges. | The lands comprising modern Varshan were once inhabited by a variety of different Cronite peoples belonging to several different linguistic families.
