>>18423166Hear this, ye babbling fool. Empire as an enterprise is dead, and we have killed it. What shambling corpse remains is only called empire by soft babes who have never felt the yoke of Greater Men. The Medes too are dead, replaced by an unholy amalgam of Arabs, Kurds and Turks. By making a mockery of Ba'al the highest, favored son of God, they committed the gravest sin, hubris. What happens next is of no free will of any nation, none may resist the call of heaven. Wrathful vengeance shall be dispensed, and the filthy vermin who infest the Zagros will experience righteous generational trauma that will ruin them for millenia. This is God's own will.

>>18423166The oracles may have been the most politically powerful group of teenage girls to ever live. Huff some methane and entire empires obey your ramblings.
