Grado

The Grado Empire is the largest individual monarchy in the continent of Magvel. Throughout the course of Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, the Empire is led by Emperor Vigarde, and later the Demon King Fomortiis, under the guise of Prince Lyon.

Grado is divided into urban and agricultural sections. The Emperor rules from the Capitol city of Grado Keep, deep within the country. Many fringe cities line the edge of Grado's borders; many of these are comprised of farmland. There are many lakes which border Castle Renvall in the Renais-Grado border at the northern edge of the country. The Za'albul Marsh is in western Grado, along with the port city of Tai'zel.

Grado has the most powerful military in Magvel, due in no small part to its Six Imperial Generals, which are Generals Duessel, Glen, Selena, Caellach, Valter, and Riev. Each of these Generals are given a national treasure, a semi-precious gemstone, as proof of their promotion, and are also named based on their gemstone.

The country's eponymous founder, Grado, was one of the heroes who sealed away the Demon King 800 years past. Grado houses the Fire Emblem, which is the Sacred Stone that carries the Demon King's spirit. The dark magic tome Gleipnir, and the black axe, Garm, are the Sacred Twin weapons of Grado, once used by the nation's founding hero.
