Liath formed late in terra's Iron Age when refugees landed on Inis, fleeing the war between Akkaus and Khan'laheeri. At the time, the kingdom was called Aru'taal, and the nation flourished, remaining neutral through the much of the Blood Wars. Even when Akkaus officially declared war on Aru'taal, it maintained a defensive posture. Eventually the country joined the Aimsir Alliance, though only officially

When the Blood Wars ended with the Council of Ceilidh, Aru'taal became Arutal and gained a reputation for possessing a healing quality. Many terran's would make pilgrimages to Arutal in order to find themselves or to cure their ailments

In the First Age of Balance, Arutal sent people back to the Korahan Coast to rebuild their original homeland, efforts which would lead to the establish the nation of Koraha. The two nations continue to share a strong bond
