Let us save our effort and just lie down and die. 
Since the great family "Goodheart" were major players in modernising the realms, I propose "Heartland" to be the name for the kingdom. This also reflects the ignorance of the as yet non-sea-faring people (there are no ports or boats recorded) of the realm who believe their lands to be the center or "heart" of the world.

Lore: The people of Heartland descend from native tribes that travelled the countryside on foot, herding pigs, ducks and harvesting from the many Alk nuts (from which a kind of fatty flour was extracted), apples, pumpkins and hemp which covered the land.
There is also evidence of grapes, cabbages, oranges and carrots. These arrived at about the same time as the first seafarers from a city called "Port-town". After exploring what was to become "Heartland", Port-towners decided it was too wild to bother with, and they couldn't find the valuable metals which they sought.

It seems that Daniel Goodheart's great-grandfather had something to do with these people from across the sea, for he may be called the first citybuilder. It was during these days that the goblins rose up in the north, and castles were built during an all-out crusade in the icy wastelands whence the goblin people came.

In all honesty I see the above history as flawed, because it doesn't explain Seth's anger, or the goblin sanctuary, or various cults and organisations present in dink's day. It doesn't explain Joppa Isle or Martridge. Next historian please!
