Was it an accident that the mundanes of Medenia were chosen to look structurally identical to those found in Temuair? Did Grinneal or the elemental spirits predict that civilizations would collide at some distant point in time? These are not questions I sought to answer during my journey, but they brought about an interesting aspect of history: that Temuairan and Medenian mundanes progressed similarly while being completely separate from one another. I propose that mundanes began to appear on the continent sometime between what we know as the beginning of the Sixth Aeon and the end of the Seventh Aeon. It is reasonable that the elemental spirits would have fully departed Temuair by this time and focused their energies into making Medenia a hospitable place.

I have gathered from ancient relics and Jelus's story with Arachne that the Golkatians were a spiritual and, later, a nomadic race. Signs of their reverence and travels can be found dotting the Asilon and Noam plains and prairies. Judging from the amount of mundanes currently found in the lands, the civilization was no doubt a small tribe comprised of only a few families. It is predicted that the Golkatians spent the Eighth Aeon exploring, discovering, and reproducing. Finally, once the people had reached decent numbers, they began to abandon their nomadic roots. Families split off as they reached lands they fancied, and finally the mundanes erected boundaries and discovered politics. 

From the amount of relics found, I predict the Golkatians probably began their journey after the fall of their city in the region we call Noes. This region includes the towns of Asilon and Noam. From there, they most likely traveled west along the coast and began settling the Alsaids region in what is now called Hwarone. The more adventurous mundanes branched out and settled the farther regions of Selaime, which includes the recently explored Aman Jungle. I predict that the regions of Andarion, Nageling, and Silion are comprised of younger establishments that took more time to settle; the terrain becomes much more unforgiving after crossing the Aman Jungle and even Aislings have yet to explore farther than the twisted trap of trees. Certainly all of these changes must have occurred by the beginning of the Tenth Aeon, when the exploration of Medenia by Aislings would soon be afoot. I have drawn on the map below to better illustrate these happenings.

Other than what is taught in folklore, there is very little evidence to support when the other races--the Andor ants and Veltain Grimlocks--arrived on Medenia. However, some research shows that those races also began with simple societies. There is more on this in the coming pages.

While brief, that is a summary of much of the general information I have gathered on the origins of Medenian mundanes. Now, let's explore some of the more interesting historical occurrences of the established towns.
