The first known inhabitants of what is now New Ardmore were the [[Ardmen]], a [[Paleo-Levantine peoples|Paleo-Levantine people]] who settled on the islands long before the northward migrations of Japhetic-speaking peoples through Levantia. Though insulated from the Japhetic takeover of the continental mainland for some time, the islands would eventually fall to Gothic invaders. | |||
The northern isles of the Ardmori Archipelago began to be incorporated into the Ardmori kingdom after it attained independence in 1004. By the late 11th century, Garán Gaelic settlers from Ardmore had completely displaced the Gothic population that had preceded them. | |||
