The Dalish (Proto-Lhedwinic: ''Dalings''; tr. "people of the Dales" or "people of the valley") were the precursors to the modern Glens and the Glanish culture.

Following intense expansion and settlement of inland territories, as well as new coastal regions, primarily through sea- or river-borne exploration, much of modern Glanodel was settled during this period. Although this expansion enabled the widespread dissemination of the Dalish (and other, early Lhedwinic) culture throughout Asura, the Dalish people especially benefited from the introduction of strong foreign cultural influences into Glanodel, perhaps the most notable being {{wp|currency}} and new {{wp|metallurgy}} techniques. | Facilitated by advanced sailing and navigational skills, an increasingly expansive trade network, agricultural innovations, and especially the invention of iron tools.

A {{wp|tumuli}}, or burial mound, was a common burial custom for chieftains in early Dalish culture.
