Originally a Tafte fishing village established in the 9th century originating around the vicinity of what is now downtown Grave, Grave became to capital of Andemyr in the early 14th century following The Calamity of Tusmetsand. Beginning in the 17th century, Grave was considered a regional centre power of Northwestern Azora with its advanced institutions, defences, armed forces, and size. During this time, the city of Lila split from Grave as its own individual city, not wanting to be considered part of the capital region and thus being a prime target for attacks.
