Ortûlékian territory at this point seems to be mostly restricted to Ortûlék proper and the western Rouningwood, while most of western and southwestern Belkondíl is occupied by the Noldorinians. East of the Ortûlékian domain, the early Besokians engage on recurring explorations from at least B.E.B. 3200, and the Sosks establish their presence in Oakshire around 2500. The first horses are domesticated here in the following two centuries, driving the expansion of the Sosks southward across the Edhennín. By 2100, four Soskish kingdoms have been established in Belkondíl, Tûnusta in the later Oakshire, Hûnutû and Dûroc in the Edhennín, and Norfêgu in Morineb. Soskilón is founded as a trading station under the name Ûrîdun-e-Sârish in 2053; at this point, the Olgs have begun their expansion south and are in permanent contact with the flourishing Soskish kingdoms. Their clans are already in frequent contention with each other, and by the end of the 21<sup>st</sup> century, tensions within the Ortûlékian population have reached boiling point. The final stage of the first Olgish expansion, which inspired the monumental and legendary account of the First War and the Parting of the Peoples, is brief and violent, driving the Auls, Genes, and Noldorinians from their lands to claim them for themselves and subduing the Soskish kingdom save for Tûnusta. By 2011, according to legend, all of Belkondíl save for Oakshire and the Noldorin is under Olgish rule. The clans make peace, united under one high king ruling from Lágon. This first Kingdom of Belkondíl lasts for only a few centuries before tension break it apart again. The Olgish Clan Wars rage for most of the middle Bronze Age and end in the foundation of several smaller kingdoms, the most important of them Lon Avoch of the White Sea, founded in 1298.

The relative stability of the following centuries  facilitates the second Olgish expansion, into the Ilathw valley, displacing the Early Aribelian populations there, and north into the western Reknaya. According to legend, the same period also saw the first invasions from the west, when the mythical Nathari people landed on the shores of Belkondíl and faught several bloody battles until their decisive defeat at the hands of Irlikun of Lon Avoch in the 1222 Second Battle of Mortim-Arnim.
