Gonne was a settlement in the middle of the Moleeq desert which was established somewhere in 1520s SR by Maksag Oordar, during his Maird campaign, initially as a camp for his army, but later in order to facilitate slave trade between Delavire and a number of western cities in Heran, such as Or, Ernele and Tonaran.

Built on the site of the ancient settlement of Gordohse, Gonne was the part of what became known as the Delavire-Gonne slave trade corridor. It consisted of crudely constructed barracks for the slaves and buildings for the slave traders and their families. Gonne had a small permanent population that maintained it and also collected fees for the Oordars. However, Gonne never had a Murdoh. In 1602, Hee Oordar established a military post at Gonne, in order to ensure that he has a strong, albeit symbolic, presence in the region.

In 1611 Gonne was attacked by a 7500-string slave army led by Mon Lon Dōrs. Hee Oordar was able to contract Moon King V to defeat the slaves. The Delavire-Gonne corridor was dissolved shortly thereafter and Gonne was completely abandoned by 1612 SR.
