==History==
===Founding===
Grado as an empire was formed after [[Fomortiis]] was killed, about 800 years ago. As mentioned, it was named after the leader of the [[Five Heroes]], [[Grado (character)|Grado]].  


Grado is one of the countries on Magvel to possess a [[Sacred Stone]]. Grado's sacred stone is unique among the others, as it houses the soul of the [[Demon King]], [[Fomortiis]]. Grado's Sacred Stone is known as the [[Fire_Emblem_(item)#Magvel|Fire Emblem]]. Through the events of ''The Sacred Stones'' Grado's Sacred Stone is split in two, the Dark Stone, which contains the 'concentrated' essence of the Demon King, and the Sacred Stone, the remaining holy components of the stone which was soon after destroyed.
Like the other countries formed after the war with Fomortiis Grado possesses a [[Sacred Stone (object)|Sacred Stone]]. Grado's sacred stone is unique among the others, as it houses the soul of the [[Demon King (class)|Demon King]], Fomortiis. Grado's Sacred Stone is known as the [[Fire_Emblem_(item)#Magvel|Fire Emblem]]. The [[Sacred Twin]] weapons wielded by Grado himself, [[Garm]] and [[Gleipnir]], were also sealed in the same chamber as the Fire Emblem.

===Modern day===
[[File:Ss_fe08_dark_stone.png|right|thumb|[[Lyon]]'s experiments with the [[Dark Stone]] that would lead to his possession.]]
Grado was peaceful in the centuries after the death of the demon king. This peace was unfortunately broken after 800 years when Fomortiis was able to possess the imperial prince of the age and used Grado's military might to lay waste to [[Renais]] and the rest of Magvel in the [[War of the Stones]].
 
Grado suffered a great many casualties during and after the war, all known members of the royal family are dead, and only the aged [[Duessel]] remains of the legendary [[Imperial Three]]. Not to help matters was the massive earthquake that destroyed half of Grado, though [[Ephraim]], Lyon's old friend and king of Renais organizes extensive aid for Grado's remaining citizens. Among this Grado also lost its housed Sacred Stone.
