## History

Fahrgrave first was a region of Baraton, bordered by the regions of Tavra and Avgrov to the north and the east. However, it was at the time known as Vergrave, just as the capital, Fahrgrave City, was known as Ankal instead. Vergrave, Avgrov and Tavra only existed on maps at the time, as they were commonly referred to as the west, as only few people actually knew about them because of how insignificant they were.

When the Crusades happened, soldiers were recruited and mobilised in Vergrave, Avgrov and Tavra, primarily the latter two, which gained the latter two some importance. However, the war was still won by the war-torn forces from the eastern regions.

When the third Baraton-Valkalonia war happened, it was once again that Baraton called upon the western lands. This time, a larger number was recruited. However, nearing the end of the war, Avgrovan and Tavrian troops deserted and went back to their own lands, liberating their country from Baratonian control. Eventually, Fahrgrave and others followed suit, aided by Tavra and Avgrov into becoming liberated. Not long after Baraton fell apart in 1978, Valkalonia also fell apart.

When Fahrgrave broke off however, the country split into four countries, Avrun, Bravgau, Fahrgrave, and later on Evalonia. During Fahgravean Unity war, Evalonia broke off and repelled the Fahrgraveans. Likewise, the Fahrgraveans on Fandorn repelled the Evalonian forces. Eventually, the two countries made peace after the annexation of Avrun and Bravgau.
