History
Before the formation of Meru, Golok was a free island inhabited by some small local tribes. 500 years ago, king Dhundak took the island under Meruli rule. When the Nerons arrived in Dhara, the claimed the island as their ancestors' living place. The Meruli kings never allowed them to settle in Meru. The Nerons were feared and hated by the general folk for their weird appearances. So, the kings thought it would be unwise to let them live there. It was Manas, who stand by them. At first Manasis offered the Nerons to live in Manas. But the Nerons argued that it was their ancestor Jamu, who told them to settle in Golok. Meruli soldiers faught with Nerons in Golok but failed to hold the grip. Nerons settled in the east portion of the island and Meru ruled the rest. Slowly the whole island fell under Neron rule and the Meru authority left the island forever. Nerons created a vast kingdom with the help of Manasis and local tribes. For the next hundred years Golok became the most advanced kingdom of Dhara.
