'''Empire of Barud''' was an early [[Tarnaria|Tarnarian]] civilization. In spite of its small size compared to its neighbors, it was notable for its claims of military grandeur and multiple conquests. In spite of aggressive rhetoric, Barud was unable to expand and after a long series of unsuccessful campaigns fell into a prolonged phase of decline. It is believed that Barud's failure strongly informed [[Yammoe|Yammoe's]] clandestine expansionist strategy.

Nevertheless, Barud was a major player in the region and in many ways defined northern Tarnarian culture at the start of the millennium. The empire was officially dissolved in the 2nd [[CSR]], with some of its remaining bastions overrun by [[Stogen]].
