Mizbeh (Mizbehi: מזבּח; hernicized: Mizbah), officially the Conduit of Heavenly Knowledge (Mizbehi: מלץ שמיי; hernicized: Malits Shamayiy), is a sovereign state located in Southeast Abaria. It borders twelve by land to its west, north and east, and the Almeraei Sea to the south. The capital is Sarulom and the largest city is Gebul.
Agricultural civilization has existed in Mizbeh since approximately 7000 BCE. From around 1300 BCE, Mizbeh was the center of the Palmeri, Arshi, and Samiki cultures, which prospered through trade in the Almeraei sea. Following unification under the state of Mawan in 850 BCE, Mizbeh's influence only grew under the various Mizbehi kingdoms, extending its trade network all the way to modern Calesia and settling trade colonies on the Abarian and Hylanisian coasts. Following its conquest by the Shiraqic Qal'adesh and the growth of Himaya in the 8th century, Mizbeh fell under the rule of various foreign dynasties and powers, most notably the Esraqim, under whom most of Mizbeh converted to He'ara Himaya, and the Hamimids, under whom Mizbeh began fall under the spheres of influence of Calesian powers.
Dissatisfaction among the lower classes and the Batin orders over corruption and foreign influence culminated in the Pegeyon Realignment,in which Iyyob Ben Yehieh, the proclaimed Masich promised in He'ara literature, led an organized force against the Hamimid monarchs. Following the fall of the monarchy in 1909, Mizbeh engaged in a period of millennial expansionism, waging war against Almeraei in the Second South Abarian War and funding He'ara revolts in neighboring nations. Following Iyyob's death in 1950, Mizbeh pivoted to developing its economy and creating beneficial arrangements with other regional powers such as Adanal. However, since 1990, Mizbeh has returned to an assertive foreign policy, notably in the Mizbeh-Almeraei rivalry, the Trans-Shiraq War, and the Semek Crisis.
Mizbeh is a theocratic regime governed under He'ara religious law. The Yorush, the designated successor of the Masich's line, is deemed to have absolute power, although the country's various Batin orders, organized under the Harmonious Convocation, have significant influence over domestic and foreign policy. The government has received criticism for violations of civil liberties and human rights. Regardless, Mizbeh is considered as a regional power due to its powerful navy, extensive military and political influence in neighboring countries, and religious significance as the center of He'ara Himaya.
