Ancestral Origins
The people of the Goshumese provinces are said to have ancestry predating all other civilizations on the continent of Plagos. During the Stone Ages, many hunter-gatherer tribes had crossed the land bridge which once connected the southeastern edges of Plagos with the northeast corners of the Nieden super continent. While some sought refuge in the mountainous plateau where the present-day capital of the republic currently sits, most of the Goshumese early peoples had spread throughout the forests southwest of the plateau, living in earthen huts of sod and stone.

The Goshumese population demographic had been split between multiple different ethnic groups, but shared a similar culture and belief system due to their close proximity with one another. As the neolithic period ushered in an era of agricultural advancement, many of the lowland (unnamed) tribes had began to migrate to the northeast of their forested region, to the mountainous plateau which would later be known as "Hagaema", literally meaning "Cold Mountain Place."

These lowland tribes had pioneered a form of land reclamation, constructing "floating gardens" out of soil and tightly woven together by intricate wooden frames, forming a network of several rectangular shapes out of fertilized soil, which would float above on the ocean's surface. The innovative stone works of the northeastern mountain tribes would prove to work wonders when merged with the botanic genius of the lowland tribes, making way for a prospering indigenous civilization of the Plagosian continent.
