Featured In The Emperor's Soul

Yazad was the forty-eighth Emperor of the Rose Empire on Sel.

Near the end of his reign, he grew weak with sickness. After his death, Ashravan succeeded him as the emperor.[1]

Trivia[edit]

  • Ashravan seems to be named after the concept of Yazata (Avestan: 𐬫𐬀𐬰𐬀𐬙𐬀) from the Zoroastrian faith, which were known as Yazad (𐭩𐭦𐭲𐭩‎) in Middle Persian. This is backed by Brandon actively being influenced by ancient Zoroastrian words for Rose Empire names.[2] Yazata is a word with various uses, but are most often used to refer to divine beings that are worthy of worship.
