Cyrus I (Aldegarian: File:Kurosh shah.png Kurosh Shah) was the founder of the Kemokian Empire, and the first Shahanshah (King of Kings) of Aldegar. Inspired by the new religion of Yazdism, Cyrus expanded his small kingdom through conquest or diplomacy, establishing an empire that covered most of Seleya, setting the basis for a unified Aldegarian national identity.
