'''Tonaran''' was an important city state during the [[dantrian_calendar|second revolution]], widely known as an impenetrable fortress due to its innovative gate towers and a well trained army that attracted people from all over [[Heran]]. Tonaran's gate towers principles became widespread throughout Heran by the end of the second revolution.

Known as "the City That Defeated the Gods", Tonaran's reputation prevented many warlords from attempting to march on the city, but it was finally defeated in 1513 by [[Kren Oordar]], who thought he was attacking Kamey-Yr. The attack was completely unexpected and the city fell after two days of fighting, but it remained a major stronghold and its reputation did not suffer, instead elevating the reputation of Oordars as legendary warriors.

Tonaran's centrality in western Tarnaria during [[Moroh]], however, was due to its role as a major food importer. Its location on the bank of Erna allowed it to trade with [[Homestead]], [[Ronas]] and [[Teamatian]]. It also became the ultimate destination for recreation.

Families quickly moved to Tonaran which was considered to be safer against the constant threat of Stogen, as well as opportunistic [[Toor_(political_entity)|toors]] forming in the area en masse. As more families moved in, the fortress began to be expanded.

=== The Western Gates ===
The abrupt dissolution of Asdoh led to the breakdown of the complex trade system between Tarnaria and the rest of the world, the majority of which ran through Estonoh. Gantolia, Teamatian, Ronas and Western Dantria were all connected to Tarnaria through Asdoh. Barud's attempts to channel some of those routes its way have largely failed.
As some of the officials from Estonoh found their way to Tonaran, they were able to restore some of those relationships.
