The History of Gotneska as a unified kingdom began in the 9th century, but historic documents describe the geographic area and the people living there the Götaí and Ruaíaí as early as 500 AD. These early documents include the writings of ?? and ??. With the Christianization of the Geats c. 660's AD, it is clear that there existed a kingship. Queen Sarah II can trace her lineage back to the Viking kings ?? and ?? from this time, thus making the Monarchy of Gotneska one of the oldest in Argis. The area now known as Gotneska has a rich prehistory, having been populated by several prehistoric cultures and people for about 10,500 to 8,000 years, since the end of the last ice age. But the first evidence of human presence in Gotneska is much earlier dating to around 45,000 years ago.

Prehistoric Gotneska (10,500 BC-AD 600)
Glaciation and the Palaeolithic
Humans first arrived in what is today Gotneska some time between 10,200 to 9,800 BC. Not much is known about these first inhabitants. But archaeologists believe that they lived in far southern Gotneska and possibly had lived as far north as the Aonaigh River and Laghalukkan/ Fairy Mtns Pass.
Mesolithic (7500-3500 BC
Neolithic (3500-2400 BC)

Copper and Bronze Ages (2400-500 BC)
Bog Bodies
Some of the most famous Bog Bodies have been found in Gotneska, most of which are believed to have part of proto-Geltic peoples. And a few Proto-Norse peoples. Dating between 3000 to 250 BC. Finding bog bodies after this point is very difficult as most historians believe the practice mossy of been replaced or scattered in general for reasons we will never know. Lackaroe Man,
Iron Age (500 BC-AD 600)
Early Wikinger Age & Aroman Arrival (100 - 599 AD)
Rise of the Córda
For centuries the Geltic people had lived peacefully in there homelands of western & eastern Gotneska but with the arrival of the (Asasdoirmenni, English: Great Raiders). A series of small battles would take place slowly pushing the Córda peoples within 200km of the Sea. But with this rising threat Corda kingdoms would pop up extremely quickly forever changing the aspect of the region’s political history forever. This would also help in creating what would become three of the best know medieval kingdoms.
Aroman Settlement
The period of Aroman settlement is generally accepted to have occurred between the years 390 and 693 AD. The Aromans would focus there settlements mostly around the east-central Gotneska. Mostly because the area was home to a navigable river. And also was very fertile, when compared to other coastal regions of Gotneska. The aromans would help establish the future capital city of Gotneksa, Læniguëuíl in Fragan (Lanliae). Even though Aroman would have a significant influence on the spread of Chritianity to the region, it would be one of there other Argis settlements that would first bring the faith to the old pagan worshiping Cordic Peoples.
Plague of the 6th Century
The plague of the Sixth Century most commonly called the Aroman Plague, by most native populations of the region as if it’s not for them the likely hood of it spreading to Argis would mostly be pretty limited. This event like most things around this time period don’t have very May sources for modern historians to look at so most of what what we know has to be done by archaeologists. There are a few major mass graves dating from this time but to pick the matter of death in what was a extremely violent period.
