During the Indigenous Cronan settlement period of the nation's history, the western and central portions were considered sacred lands due to its value in terms of resources and cultural significance. Once the land was settled by [[Pelaxia]] in the late 1600s, the settlers discovered several gold deposits scattered across the Western and Central portions of Tierrador. This led to many conflicts between colonial powers to determine who truly held the rights to the sacred lands. Eventually, following Tierrador's independence from [[Pelaxia]] in 1733 and the long path to where it is today, the country took advantage of its many gold deposits and quickly became an economic powerhouse. | ||
