History
When the original founders of What is now known as “agrabah” first came to the deserts. They were nomads. The deserts had been avoided by humans for quite some time, because of the local apex predator: a Giant feathered Amphithere named: Malcho. This creature was deadly, as it was able to warp reality with its magical feathers. This monster had Long dominated the deserts. And therefor the area was not only hard to colonise Because of Its dry Nature, But Also Because of the wildlife.

Tho the nomads were set on migrating into this region. And their leader: merci the great was very determined. It ended with a great battle. That would forever Shape these people. In the start merci went out to hunt Malcho with the Company of a hunting party of 30 men….. Only he would return. But he came Home victorious. Wounded and covered in blood, But not in vain. He had managed to take one of Malcho’s great feathers. And he (if his claims could be beleived) was able to kill the creature. This brought great joy over the people. As they could not only now colonise the desert. But they could Also harness Malchos ancient magic, and become the deserts new apex’es. As a show of recognition of Merci the great, the people let the magical feather be passed to his descendants. Who now are the royal sultanate family. Even tho they could manage great strides with this feather, like making flying carpets and weave silk out of sand. outsiders began noticing that the area wasnt dominated by Malcho anymore. Therefor they began moving into the deserts lands. And Because the nomadic people, or agrabahrians (as we Call them now) were nomads and didnt live in any deffined cities, they were unable to stop them. These people dominated the northern deserts for a long while. But at last infighting began between them, and this quickly escalated into wars. The agrabahrians were able to protect themselfs using the might of the malchos magical feather. But others werent so lucky…. The region was quickly abandoned, and the agrabahrians were left behind scavenging the ruins. Here they survived until Sultan Aziz Bobolonius the first began modernization

Modernization
the agrabahrians had been nomads for a Long time. With Malchoes magical feathers being able to provide them with resources, most people Saw no need to modernize.

But there were Also some that strayed from this ideology. One of these was one “Sultan Aziz Bobolonius 1” who Also happened to be leader of the dynasty that Merci the great had created all of those years ago. He had long been worried about his People’s mentality towards modernization. As he began recognizing paterns within their history. He theorised that the reason they had long been opressed and colognised by foreign powers. Was Because that they never really held an architectural nor military grip, on their Home deserts. They had always been nomadic, and he saw that this had come with some serious drawbacks, such as: lack of recognision, military weakness, and lack of communicative means. He thought that the only solution to this would be modernization. He took inspiration from other nations by officially proclaiming the dynasty that he descended from as “house Bobolonius” of the bobolonoic dynasty. He Also began making goverment reforms, like making a more beuroctratic and streamlined goverment. And finally he also began planning constructions of permanent city installations. He also paid goverments that laid claim to the deserts, to recognize agrabah as independant. At last he commitioned an anthem. Wich is still in use

folk tales
account of the serene spirit: "Ten thousand years ago lived a man with no name. He was not given a name due to the fact that he was a servant of one of Agrabahs wealthiest families. One stormy night, he was sent into a cave of riches and wonders. Within all of the golds and jewels that could have made him wealthier than his master by 100 times. He found a lamp. However, the lamp was high above a pit of smokeless fire. Something about this lamp drew him towards it. He began climbing to the lamp over the pit of fire. He grasps his hand around the lamp, but loses his footing and falls into the smokeless fire. It is said that his soul is trapped inside of the lamp as a genie, and lies within the cave. Now, many have tried to enter, but since that day the cave always says "Know this. Only one may enter here. One whose worth lies far within. The diamond in the rough." before swallowing them whole."
