Etymology
The name Ghratos comes from the ancient name of the River Stanumn, "Ghratossi" from the Xhaasans. The origin of the name is unknown.
History
Ancient
Thousands of years ago, the cities of Xhaasa and Amisa were founded, south and north of the river Stanumn respectively. The two cities spawned many more cities as people spread out and conquered more territory. These cities were ruled by independent kings and queens and commonly went to war with each other. The city-states were bronze-age societies, with an extremely small range.

Unification
Fae Wars
Some generations after the unification of Amisa and Xhaasa, the Cloud Fae floating over Ghratos became aggressive, commonly raiding and attacking cities. For this reason, the Ghratean Armies got on Maquida and destroyed many Cloud Fae hives. This led to a peace treaty demanding that all cloud fae hives either join Ghratos or leave immediately. Many of the more peaceful hives stayed to work for Ghratos, while others fled Ghratean Skies.
