Ptrao

Ptrao, sometimes spelled as Petrao, is one of the three Orbon nations. It is found in the easternmost part of Irgaedera, bordered by Ro Gtero and Ro Orbon in the west, Mes Keidana in the south, and Aora in the north. Ptrao contains the Red Ring, the location that is said to be the cradle of life on Gaedera. The most widely-spoken language in Ptrao is Orbono.

History
The lands and peoples of Ptrao were initially ruled by the Maba tribe, the first tribe to emerge during the Age of Movement. Thereafter, the Orbon tribe emerged and swept across the former Maba territory, capturing much of what existed of it, including the territory of present-day Ptrao. The Red Ring was offered up by the Maba tribe as part of its peace treaty.

The Orbon Territory's eastern reaches soon devolved into civil war and infighting, causing Orbon to lose control of it and release it from its possession. After a century of warfare, five of the warring factions came together to establish a union, with their leaders forming a pentarchy. This pentarchy called itself Ptrao (Orbono: of red) and its stability, forged in a pact sworn to Gaedera Herself, quickly saw it take over the neighbouring nations.

Ptrao quickly became a military powerhouse under the leadership of a line of warlike pentarchs, and with the might of its dragon populations, conquering surrounding territories and growing into one of the largest territories in the world to date.
