'''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.

'''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 and has been largely responsible for the propagation of the concept of Tarnaria as a backcountry.

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 [[moroh|Mōroh]] philosophy, especially in the north.

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.

Modern researchers generally reject the term and regard it as politically, socially and geographically meaningless, as it encompasses too vast a territory and too many peoples to provide a meaningful moniker.

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.

The concept of "Tarnaria" can be traced to Yammoe and its view of itself as the counterpart to the [[Western Dantrian civilization]], which culminated in the project of the [[Eastern Dantrian civilization]], championed by Yammoe and Gantolia. Tarnaria was a dismissive term that essentially meant "backcountry" (doranar, doranary) and referred to anything to the east of Yammoe. In fact, when the term became more widespread, it found its way back to Yammoe as "Tarnaria" and became synonymous with "doranary".

 

Yammoe's domination of the region allowed it to command the narrative that undermined the true diversity of cultures of Tarnaria and painted it as sparsely inhabited swaths of land, united by a single language and religion. This was further exacerbated by [[Mōroh]], which essentially created an appearance that Yammoean narrative was correct.

 

In reality, [[Asdoh]] was as developed, if not more developed, than Yammoe during the first revolution, and was a far better representative of the Western Dantrian civilization in its architecture, society and political structure. [[Xaewoon]], although indeed a strong uniting cultural element, is a very diverse set of beliefs and practices and does not at all apply to the southern countries of Tarnaria, which always had completely different religions. Even [[Loodori|Loodori's]] Kajoon Tarkai that served as the origins of Xaewoon is an entirely different religion.
