The civil warrevolts ravaged the Ziaraat Empire between 616 and 605 BC and freed their respective peoples from three centuries of Ziaraa rule. The unification of the Malm tribes under Deoches in 728 BC led to the foundation of the Malm Empireconfederacy which survived, although as a rebel group, until the end of the Ziaraat Empire and, by 612 BC, controlledtook control over the Malm regiond and, eventually, two thirds of present-day Ziaraat. This marked the end of the first Ziaraat Empire which was dissolved.
