From prehistory until the establishment of [[Great Levantia]], the northern portion of Harren was largely settled by [[Gaelic people]]s, consisting of small urban areas and numerous semi-nomadic tribal groups. Most of the small urban core of the region remained intact with the arrival of the [[Adonerii]] [[Latinic people|Latins]] based out of the [[Urce River]] region; most of modern Harren's major cities can trace their history to Latinized Gaelic city centers from the prehistoric period. Much of modern Harren became a major province - Hortia - of Great Levantia following its establishment, forming the outer expanses of [[The Valley (Urcea)|the southern Great Levantine core region]]. During this period, Gaels were largely deprived of their land by Latin settlers, and most tribes either relocated elsewhere or intermarried with the new arrivals, forming the demographic backbone of Harren during antiquity. Harren was largely spared of the warfare and [[Gothic people|Gothic]] raids closely associated with the late period of Great Levantia. In [[486]], the Hortia's Imperial governor died and was replaced by a governor elected by prominent local families, a figure who was invested by the local notables as ''Dux''. This elevation, in line with [[Great_Levantia#Rump_Empire|other similar moves]] throughout Great Levantia, signified military command over the entire southeastern Valley region north of the [[Urcean frontier|southern wastes]] and west of the [[Magnag]]. This state of affairs ensured Harren was already autonomously governed when [[Great_Levantia#End_of_the_Empire|Silvanus, last Emperor, was deposed]] in [[502]]. | From prehistory until the establishment of [[Great Levantia]], the northern portion of Harren was largely settled by [[Gaelic people]]s, consisting of small urban areas and numerous semi-nomadic tribal groups.

Most historians agree that the area of Harren had [[Great_Levantia#Gaelicization|already been partly Gaelicized]] by the time of the collapse of Great Levantia in [[502]], similar to other areas in the Valley. | |||
