The lost kingdom of '''Ghol-Gan''' (pronounced GOHL-gahn)<ref>{{Cite book/Campaign Setting|246}}</ref> included what is today known as the [[Shackles]] and [[Mediogalti Island]], as well as the southern part of the [[Sodden Lands]] and a section of the western [[Mwangi Expanse]].<ref name="ISWG213">{{Cite book/The Inner Sea World Guide|213}}</ref>

It pre-dates the rise of [[Azlant]], having been at its height during the [[Age of Serpents]].<ref name="ISWG213"/> Because its magic-users infused their craft into the buildings and other structures they built, some have have survived the ravages of time. Their similarity to the ruins of the [[Cyclops|cyclopes]] kingdoms in northern [[Casmaron]] indicate that the people of Ghol-Gan were also cyclopes.<ref name="ISWG-210">{{Cite book/The Inner Sea World Guide|210-1}}</ref>

The ruins in the area known today as the [[Shackles]] depict horrific scenes of blood sacrifice and cannibalism. In [[4111 AR]], explorers from [[Cheliax]] discovered the ruins. Understandably finding the scene extremely disturbing, they declined to settle there, convinced that the coastline was haunted and cursed;<ref>{{Cite book/Pirates of the Inner Sea|3}}</ref> instead they continued southward and founded the colony of [[Sargava]].<ref>{{Cite book/The Inner Sea World Guide|170}}</ref>

The last patriarch of Ghol-Gan was [[Ammelon VI]]. His treasures are said to be contained within the waterlogged temple of [[Xanthuun]] in the Sodden Lands. Most of the information known today about Ghol-Gan was obtained by expeditions into these extremely dangerous ruins.<ref>{{Cite book/Campaign Setting|222}}</ref>

Hundreds have also found death over the years trying to explore the sunken ruins beneath the [[Gold Phoenix Aviary]] in the hope of finding some of Ammelon VI’s treasure there.<ref>{{Cite book/Burnt Offerings|85}}</ref>

== History ==
The history of Ghol-Gan may be categorized into four periods:<ref>{{Cite book/Lost Kingdoms|25''ff''}}</ref>
; prehistoric
: little is known of the origins of the civilization
; pre-classical
: a short period during which the cyclopes nation started looking beyond its borders
; classical
: the height of Ghol-Gan civilization: a period of [[sun and moon worship]] and the advent of writing
; post-classical
: the demise of the civilization and its eventual destruction at [[Earthfall]]

=== Iblydos ===
The people of [[Iblydos]] owe their existence to the cyclopes that emigrated from Ghol-Gan during that doomed empire's decline, and though the [[giant]]s have dwindled in number since, they and [[human]]s continue to co-exist on the archipelago. The greatest mortals earn the rite of [[myth-speaking]], in which the cyclopes foresee how that hero might attain [[mythic]] power through great deeds. Many of these so-called [[hero-god]]s have since ruled one of Iblydos's city-states, granting [[spell]]s to followers and heralding in a new age of prosperity or tyranny. Since the deaths of [[Aroden]] and [[prophecy]] itself, the tradition has failed with troubling frequency. Now the last hero-gods age and dwindle, and a new generation of heroes must arise to combat the greatest threat to the islands: the [[thalassic behemoth]] [[Ousmariku]].<ref>{{Cite web
