Sūdawealdh Colonialism
In approximately 300BCE, the Sūdawealdh-Héafodríce sent colonial expeditions to the coastline of Glestingawolde, with the first Sūdarigan settlements being founded on the Cantware Peninsula near modern-day Magoncaister. Of these early settlements, a fort known as Metthelle grew to be an early urban centre and most important city in the region until the mid-100s BCE. It, like many other early settlements in Glestingawolde, was primarly a hub of penal labour due to its location on the frontier. The largest efforts of penal production were primarily extraction-oriented, focusing on lead, silver, and tin mining however vineyards became an important aspect of the region's colonial economy in the latter half of Sūdarigan settlement of Glestingawolde.
Through subsequent decades, the coastal tribes of Tetinsbryg, Baswisse, and Godhelmgas, amongst several smaller tribes, were brought into the Sūdarigan tribute-sphere by means of peaceful embassies. However, despite successful attempts to subjugate the coastal tribes, much of the inland remained independent and largely uncooperative towards the Sūdarigan effort - raids were often conducted on important coastal trade routes, and a cultural divide grew during the following centuries between coastal and inland tribes. This lack of progress is attributed to the Sūdarigan focus on their larger, urban colonies in Ilæniswolde to the south. Ilæniswolde had a much smaller native population, resulting in a larger number of Sūdarigan slaves and citizens immigrating to fill the labour shortage.
By 50BCE, both Norð-Jomðíeg, Súþ-Jomðíeg, and the northern interior of modern-day Glestingawolde were under Sūdarigan influence, to varying degrees of autonomy. The Jomðíeg Islands, once home to the Clægtun tribes, had been converted into one of the region's largest clay mining industries. In the northern interior, a number of rebellious tribes had been subjected to harryings over the course of the last century. This was a result of continued resistance to urbanisation policies intended to break down the inland-coastal divides, as well as wider Sūdarigan leadership.
While regional Sūdarigan power remained centred in 'Iolanthium' in Ilæniswolde, northern power had gradually moved its focus from Metthelle towards the Sūdarigan-founded city of Linnburh, located along the northern river of Brattburne. The move is believed to be the result of military activity, and in turn administrative authority, in Glestingawolde moving northwards, with Linnburh being used as a hub.
A concentrated effort was targeted at reigning in the central inland tribes during the fifth-century CE.
