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 early Sylvans were also a hunter-gatherer people in the beginning, but chose to dwell in trees almost exclusively, as has been determined from archaeological remains. Most of these dwellings were at first crude shelters of grasses, leaves and twigs, but soon developed into more complex and strong structures made from a variety of nearby materials. The early elves were literate long before their human neighbours, developing an alphabet and written language sometime around the year 12,000 B.C., sometime after the end of the Ice Age.

The Mythic Era (ME) is generally agreed to begin with the introduction of literacy into Sylvan society, who began writing in a prototype of the modern Twengar script. Its introduction revolutionised Sylvan society, coinciding with the development of Valarism, the oldest surviving religion native to Avaerilon. The Sylvans began to smelt metal, beginning with softer metals such as copper, but relatively soon after discovering bronze, which they used to fashion weapons, armour and other such items. Sylvan society became more militarised, saw many single social norms develop among different groups of elves, and organised communities began appearing. The Fereldic humans saw their own society develop some time later, when agriculture came to Fereldan. Using crude-fashioned stone and metal-ore tools, the Fereldics began ploughing areas of flat land and planting wild grains and roots, cultivating some of the world's earliest-known crops. This change occurred around the year 10,000 B.C., which is also approximately when the first recorded contact between elf and human is believed to have taken-place. While many historians are unwilling to trust oral accounts of the first meetings, it is generally agreed they were not overly hostile, due to a lack of Sylvan weapons or remains found in Fereldan, and vice-versa. In-addition, several short and fragmented Sindarin inscriptions exist, made by Sylvans at the time. one such tablet reads:
+
The name for Avaerilon derives  from Avaerilonian, but there are strong cognates in both Fereldonian and Sindarin The first part of the name, ''avaer,'' means 'sanctuary' or 'haven,' and comes from the Fereldonian word ''ffer'' 'glade.' The ending is ''ilon,'' 'realm' and derives from ''ilnys,'' island. Literally, the name means "realm of the sanctuary," and was deliberately chosen for that reason by Arthur in 793. Until then, the term did not exist, and the various places that form what we know call Avaerilon were known individually by their own names, or together sometimes as the Western Realm (''Ilon Nyrmeln'').

As a result of contact between the two peoples, the Fereldics acquired literacy, and began writing with the Twengar script like their neighbours, though they wrote in Ancient Fereldonian. Due to the literacy shared by the two peoples, we begin to get a clearer picture of the state of affairs in Avaerilon at this time. Both the Sylvans and Fereldonians lived in small communities, though formally-organised, often ruled by a council of elders, nobles, or mages. It would be these small communities which would lay the basis for the creation of the first kingdoms of men and elves. In the year 9000, Eriador was founded by Galadriel her husband Celeborn in the south-east of the isle of Eregion, with its capital at Lothlorien. It had an organised military and the beginnings of a small navy, as well as an excellent defensive position being in dense woodland. Though it grew slowly, Eriador remained a prosperous kingdom, despite not having any currency. The first human kingdom was Nyrmenor, founded on the islands of the same name in northern Arnalor.

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 kingdoms,' 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.

Avaerilon is a highly-developed and wealthy nation, with some of the highest standards of living in the world, particularly in terms of education,with Avaerilon's educational system regarded as being one of the best in the world. The country is considered to be an industrialised nation, though it developed differently from a number of others after the introduction of steam power and industrialisation. Avaerilon has one of the world's highest HDI ratings, strongest economies, and a high GDP per capita score. It joined the SLU in 2011, and has since served as the region's chair on domestic affairs and as regional delegate. Avaerilon is considered to be one of the primary powers within the SLU.

Etymology

The name for Avaerilon derives from Avaerilonian, but there are strong cognates in both Fereldonian and Sindarin The first part of the name, avaer, means 'sanctuary' or 'haven,' and comes from the Fereldonian word ffer 'glade.' The ending is ilon, 'realm' and derives from ilnys, island. Literally, the name means "realm of the sanctuary," and was deliberately chosen for that reason by Arthur in 793. Until then, the term did not exist, and the various places that form what we know call Avaerilon were known individually by their own names, or together sometimes as the Western Realm (Ilon Nyrmeln).
