===Medieval History===
In 628, the Avestan religion was founded as an organized and consolidated form of the old pagan religions of Ziaraat. It quickly took hold amongst the populace and was eventually adopted by Shara Pavol. After being adopted by the monarch, Avestan practices were quickly enforced such as a ban on idol worship, gambling, alcohol, and others (many of these were already socially condemned but the religious ban made it state policy). Actions taken to enforce these included religious persecution, demolition of idols, and a ban on the caste system.
The Avestan religion brought with it a relative revival of Ziaraa culture and influence as the old aristocracy was replaced by an Avestan Ziaraa bureaucracy.
During the 10th and 11th centuries, Ziaraat experienced a blossoming of literature, philosophy, mathematics, medicine, astronomy, and art. This period is known as the Ziaraat Golden Age. The Ziaraat Golden Age reached its peak by the end of the 11th century, during which Ziaraat was the main theater of scientific activities of North Gondwana. After the 11th century, Ziaraat began closing itself down to foreigners after the influx of foreigners and foreign religions. The Shara began a second religious persecution to purify Ziaraat of foreign religions. All foreigners had to convert or were killed or exiled. The Shara also forced foreigners to assimilate into the Ziaraa wthnic group by forcing marriages and killing those who refused.
In 1350, after the formation of the Reiktic Empire, Ziaraat was further plaved into isolation out ofnfear of foreign influence, religion, and invasion. During this increased isolation, the Shara began militarizing Ziaraat by changing cultural values to be more militant. More emphasis was placed on religious duty, honor, and austerity.
