Tarnaria

Tarnaria /tʌr'næriːə/ or /tʌr'nʌriːə/ is a loosely defined region which encompasses the east part of the Continent and is connected by languages, politics and the Xaewoon religion. Yammoe is not considered part of Tarnaria.

The significance of Tarnaria as an identifier has gone down in the past several centuries, mostly due to the formation of multiple states, whereas for the majority of its history Tarnaria was decentralized and nomadic due to the dominance of the Mōroh philosophy, especially in the north.

First settlers have arrived by the beginning of the 16th CFR. By the mid of the 17th century the state of Asdoh had been established, followed by the Empire of Barud and Toor.

Concept

Historically, Tarnaria's western borders were generally defined by the Taverda river in the north, by the Foorsanda river in the south and by Yammoe, Gantolia and Teamatian in the center. Its eastern border is defined by the ocean.

The concept and definition of "Tarnaria" can be traced to Yammoe and its view of itself as the counterpart to the Western Dantrian civilization, which culminated in the concept of the Eastern Dantrian civilization, championed by Yammoe and Gantolia.

The challenge that the concept of Tarnaria introduces is that it lumps together cultures and peoples that are very different. This was beneficial to Yammoe, as it was able to paint Tarnarian states with a single brush.

History

The history of Tarnaria is divided into several periods: the Pioneers Period, the Asdoh Period, the Age of Mōroh, the Mantareia Period and others.
