History

 * Main article: History of Goldweald

Goldweald has a broad history that reaches back to the closing days of the Eldrynic Empire. It was first inhabited men after Eldrynic colonistaion efforts during the Age of Dawn.

Early History
The human settlement of Goldweald is believed to have begun in the first half of the ninth millennium BFE, when Eldrynic settlers traveled across the *** Ocean. The reason for the crossing is unknown. Some theories suggest that it was a shortage of arable land in Eldryn that motivated the migration, other theories assert that the migration was brought about by the ambitions of Eldrynic kings in search of new land. Regardless of the motivation, overseas territory was considerably coveted by the Eldrynic people. The first colonists were abundantly funded and urged by the government to make the crossing.

The early Eldrynic settlers abode on the mountainous western coast of what would later be known as Arialis, but were soon dissuaded by the impracticability of the craggy terrain, which made cultivation nearly impossible, and the aggressiveness of the indigenous fauna. They reoriented in the far more welcoming southern shores of Goldweald. The colonists initially did not venture far inland and settled on the southern shores of the province where they established small crop-growing and logging settlements.
