Sidebar: Empress of Amarr now looks substantially different from the last time I featured it in this journal.
The City of God was right there on the map, so I headed straight over there to check out another example of Amarrian architectural abandonware (because I already did the Traumark Installation last year). I did a standard operational procedure sitrep to see where the hell I was, and I saw that the Shastal system was just one jump away. Last week I did the wormhole shuffle from Anoikis and emerged into the Hakshma system in Empress of Amarr. This collective was named The City of God, naturally after the God Emperor Zaragram himself, but it is not clear why it was built here in Shastal, 9.8 light-years from Amarr, on the edge of the Empire.

Thus it was that at some point during his reign, Zaragram ordered the construction of a series of large space stations in the Shastal system in the Devoid region. A crazed dictator with a personality cult.Įxamples throughout New Eden history indicate that this level of madness invariably reaches its zenith in a serious edifice complex. The reasons for this airbrushing from history are hard to piece together from what little is common knowledge, but it involves the usual corruptions: obsession with power and greed and megalomania, culminating with Zaragram declaring himself a God instead of being content with merely being God‘s choice of Emperor. Instead you get non-specific references to the ‘head of state’ or ‘the Emperor’.
The historical legacy of Zaragram has been suppressed over the two millennia since his reign as Emperor, to the extent that there are no references to him by name in anything considered public record from that long ago. Emperor Zaragram Ardishapur II is not a name you will be familiar with unless you are an Amarrian theological scholar.
