'''Heran''' /hɛ'rʌn/ was a name given to much of northern Tarnaria between 10th and 17th [[CSR]], indicating a civilizational recovery from [[Stogen]], specifically referring to the accumulating influence of independent sedentary city-states of [[Mantar]], [[Or]], [[Ernele]], [[Tonaran]] and the region of [[Qep]].

'''Heran''' /hɛ'rʌn/ was the name given to much of northern Tarnaria between 13th and 17th [[CSR]]. Heran was bounded by the Gratfeef river in the east, by the Erna river in the west and by [[Toyen]] in the south. Whether to consider [[Laeooy Coast]] and [[Commonground]] part of Heran is debated, as people from those areas were generally considered to be foreigners in [[Mantar]] or [[Tonaran]], but at the same time economically the region was far more united than would appear from the cultural clash.

The usage of the term began to decline after the formation of [[Mantareia]], as the state began to dominate the region. Nevertheless, describing someone as a "Heranian" was still pretty common up to the 2nd [[CTR]].

Nevertheless, describing someone as a "Heranian" was still pretty common up to the 2nd [[CTR]]. Additionally, the region is sometimes referred to as Heran for convenience purposes when describing the history of Tarnaria. For instance, the early civilizations of Tarnaria - that of [[Asdoh]], [[Toor]] and [[Empire of Barud|Barud]] - are sometimes collectively referred to as Heran.
