Vasloria experienced several waves of settlement. The earliest people were [[human|humans]] called the [[Gol]]. The land was at that time one primeval forest, ruled by the [[elf|elven]] king of the [[Foxglove Court]], [[Máelodor Ryllearnan]], who fought against the invading human Gol. They were hunted by the king, until they summoned the [[demon]] [[Taamgul]], who slew Máelodor and dragged him down into the [[Abyssal Wastes]]. The Gol thereafter conquered much of the region, and over time developed a bronze-age society.{{cite book/knw|155}}

During Ajax's rule, much of Vasloria became a lawless wilderness; with people sticking to remaining three baronies; Dalrath, Bedegar, and Tor. Meanwhile, the high elves of the [[Fallen City]] pillaged their city for artifacts to appease Ajax with, unlike their wode elf kin who refused to bow to conqueror.The dwarves of [[Kal Kalavar]] made this era even more dangerous for the common folk, by to abducting any who traveled the roads unescorted.
