About Ireland
Over the course of billions of years, the push, pull, and shifting of tectonic plates and the growth and retraction of glaciers have culminated in the formation of the island known as Ireland. The region is known for its lush lands, idyllic scenery, coursing riverways, and a rugged and mountainous coastline. Humankind has made a home here for the past 33,000 years.
Migrating peoples first came to Ireland via landbridges connecting the island to Great Britain which was but an extension of mainland Europe at the time. The early settlers developed their own cultures, languages, and mythologies, much of which has been lost to history. More thorough documentation of these natives began in the Copper and Bronze Ages, particularly as the Roman Empire set foot in nearby Britannia. Ireland was known to Rome, but little evidence exists now to suggest they attempted to influence or conquer the isle.
