History

Initially a support fortress for Aros during the Long Night invasion, it has since become a force all its own. Following the battle above Highgate, Strathos withdrew to the north to rally survivors of the crash. Infighting amongst the nobles halted any advance the Voss would hope to make in their genocidal war against the elves. With little food reserves the weak were culled for the high nobles to survive, further weakening the Voss reserves. With little options remaining the Voss pushed further south to claim farmlands. Strathos would help provide air support for the restoration of the fallen city, while Zephos pushed deeper into elven lands to burn Greahs Grove. When Zephos was rebuked they withdrew back across the ocean to recover leaving Strathos alone to defend Aros from the counter attack.  Strathos managed to defend the fallen city at great cost but animosity between Zephos and Strathos has only worsened in the following centuries. In that time Strathos faith underwent transformation, venerating the agony of Y'heia's dark transformation and seeking to follow her path of pain. This sparked a brief but intense civ war between Strathos and Zephos that drained already straiend reaources and left Aros isolated during its attempts to colonize the elven lands.
