Historically, Tarnaria's western borders were 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.
Historically, Tarnaria's western borders were defined by the Taverda river in the north, by Kwalee, Loodori, Rowlow, Kwalin and Ybuwyn in the south and by Yammoe, Gantolia and Teamatian in the center. Its eastern border is defined by the ocean and the Nanonae.
Some researchers reject the term and regard it as politically, socially and culturally meaningless, as it encompasses too vast a territory and too many peoples to provide a meaningful moniker.
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]]. 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".
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]]. Tarnaria was a dismissive term that essentially meant "backcountry" (doranar, doranary) and referred to anything to the east of Yammoe, including the countries of the [[Dawn|second wave]]. 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 the downfall of highly developed [[state of Asdoh]] and [[Empire of Barud]] and the rise of [[Mōroh]], which essentially created an appearance that Yammoean narrative was correct all along.

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 culture, technology, society and political structure.

The [[Xaewoon]] religion and the [[Bukk|bukkean family of languages]], although indeed a strong uniting cultural element, do not apply to large swaths of the eastern Continent, specifically its southeastern part, which neither follows Xaewoon, nor speaks Bukk. [[Loodori|Loodori's]] Kajoon Tarkai, although served as the origins of Xaewoon, is an entirely different religion, and the incorporation of Loodori's ancient Jabi has always been unidirectional.

But even throughout the second revolution, the term Tarnaria excluded the southeastern part and was understood as the central and northern regions of the eastern Continent. Some historians even exclude the [[Utuka]], arguing that their participation in Tarnarian events, if not influence, has been minimal.
