The '''Golden Age of the Gnomes''' was a time of immense prosperity for the [[gnome]]ish [[race]]. The Golden Age's exact duration of time remains a point of debate, although it is usually considered to have begun in roughly 1950 of the [[Fourth Age]] and lasted until [[King Healthorg]]'s death in the early [[Fifth Age]].

The Golden Age of the Gnomes began with the success of the Gnomish Empire in the [[Thorobshuun - Gnome War]]. The gnome's victory at the [[Battle of Atarisundri]] ensured that the [[Thorobshuun]] would not return, and with few enemies and many allies: amongst them the [[elves]] of [[Tirannwn]] and the [[human]] tribes that would eventually form [[Kandarin]].

With this security and newfound freedom the Gnomish Empire prospered economically, politically, militarily, and culturally. The [[Tree Gnome Stronghold]] became amongst the greatest cities in [[Gielinor]] and King Healthorg was renowned as amongst the greatest of monarchs.

As Healthorg grew old, though, he became increasingly ineffective as leader, even with the help of his close companion [[Hazelmere|Hazelmere the Ethereal]]. Scholars attribute this decline to many other reasons as well. The silent [[Arposandran War]] was already beginning to eat away at the base of the Empire, while the [[Khazard Gnomish Extermination]] was beginning to take hold to the south. The [[Elven Civil War]] had left the elves in great conflict while the [[Dreaded Years of Tragedy]] had made religious tension in the region greater than ever.
