Empire of Barud

Empire of Barud was an early Tarnarian civilization, notable for its claims of military grandeur and multiple conquests. In spite of aggressive expansion in its early phase, Barud later lost the momentum 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's clandenstine expansionist strategy.
