[[Ethalria (Grand Matriarchy)|Ethalria]] famously discovered Hayaneste in 1499 when explorer Waltraud Vogel landed in Tornales, what is today Ewising. Though Ethalria was the first to explore the island, a native population had lived on the island since at least two thousand years ago, and a descended [[Impelanzan]] population had been living on the north and west coasts for a millennia, where it was considered the final frontier of western expansion by [[New Leganes#Impelanza|ancient Impelanza]]. Auroran settlement began in the mid to late 16th and early 17th centuriescentury, bringing primarily Ethalrians, but later other ethnicities. Tornaland was founded as a trading outpost in 1540 and wasquickly became an integral piece of the Ethalrian trading network. At the conclusion of the [[Posolic Wars]] in 1826, Tornaland, now a considerable region, was one of several Ethalrian colonies ceded to the [[Morstaybishlian Empire]] where it was thenceforth known as Joralesia.

Joralesia's economy is based largely on tourism, shipping, agricultural machinery, textiles and hoisery.
