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.

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 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.

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 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.

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.

 

 

The term "Tarnaria proper" thus refers to the central and northern Tarnaria and excludes Kwalee, Loodori, Rowlow, Kwalin and Ybuwyn, as well as the easternmost Nanonae. Some historians also exclude the [[Utuka]], arguing that their participation in Tarnarian events, if not influence, has been minimal.
