The earliest evidence of settlement in Avaerilon dates back to around 1,200,000-1,000,000 B.C., with archaeological finds in central Fereldan and eastern Arnalor suggesting that Fereldic humans and Sylvan elves may have arrived in Avaerilon at around the same time. Early man would have found Fereldan a treacherous and challenging place to live, with large numbers of deadly predators such as wolves, lynxes and dragons posing a sizeable threat, though the thick woods which still survive today were rich in food and materials. These early humans hunted and gathered as per the norm elsewhere, chronicling their achievements on cave walls such as at ''Fferod Varn'' in Forlindon, which contains some of the earliest known human artwork. The site was discovered in 1837, when prominent geologist Dr. Iago Heforn Fforwelys noticed the prominent sandstone outcrop in a wooded area, and discovered a small series of caverns, along with the perfectly-preserved drawings. Tests conducted concluded that the artworks were drawn in charcoal, suggesting that the early Fereldics were an inventive and intelligent people. | The earliest evidence of settlement in Avaerilon dates back to around 1,200,000-1,000,000 B.C., with archaeological finds in central Fereldan and eastern Arnalor suggesting that Fereldic humans and Sylvan elves may have arrived in Avaerilon at around the same time.

Avaerilon, officially the Magnificent Kingdom of Avaerilon (Avaerilonian: Y Regnil Magnaddog Avaerilon), is a sovereign state located in the central-western waters of the Social Liberal Union, northwest of the main continental body. Geographical Avaerilon is composed of four large islands (Fereldan, Arnalor, Morrowind and Dunaemair) and numerous smaller surrounding isles. Avaerilon as a nation is further comprised of 14 overseas kingdoms and 3 additional overseas territories, along with each of the four 'home isles,' which are administered as kingdoms also.
The country's form of government is a Constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system and its capital city is Minas Avalon, Fereldan, with the majority of the Avaerilonian Parliament located in the largest city of Lyndainium, also in Fereldan. The current Avaerilonian monarch is HMRM King Aubrey the Dragonheart, elected to the position in 2011, and also a descendent of the royal line of Avaerilon. The Prime Minister is Dr.Gwilym Gladstyn and the Patrician is Lord Havelock Vetinari. Each of the kingdoms of Avaerilon has its own devolved parliament, and the three overseas territories also have their own devolved assemblies. Avaerilon has been a kingdom since being founded in the year 793 A.D., and the current political system can be described as having evolved from the original structure of government.
