'''Osa Nara''' was a civilization that emerged in the beginning of the 17th [[dantrian_calendar|CSR]]. Considered a [[Darda]] ally, it had no army of it's own and instead relied on weapons technology and on Darda's military presence. Several decades of peace and prosperity allowed Osanarians to develop an impressive body of literature, advance arts, math, geometry, astronomy and physics. Much of it had been lost, but could also have been exaggerated, as archeological evidence and the inspection of the body of literature, left by osanarians, paints an imposing, but more grounded picture.

Paintings of its uniquely designed cities, as well as stories about inventions and advances in technology, have turned Osa Nara into a legendary land in its day, especially famous in northern [[Tarnaria]].

Compared to [[Western Dantria]] as the most advanced representative of the [[Eastern Dantrian Civilization]] of the second revolution, Osa Nara's end was as abrupt, when the country was overrun by the [[Kareden]] in the campaign of 1785-1786 SR.

Osa Nara was conquered by the Kareden in the campaign of 1785-1786 SR. Led by [[King Anashary]], the Kareden were first able to occupy the south intercity areas and force osanarians into cities. The rest of the campaign involved the Kareden taking over city after city in complicated sieges. Unlike sieges against fortified cities, a siege against an Osanarian city was complicated not by walls, but by chemical warfare from the Osanarians.

Famous for its military prowess, Osa Nara's downfall was a complete shock. Several things led to the outcome.

This allowed the Kareden to get deep into the country, and Osa Nara had to face conditions that it was completely unprepared for. A lot of the weapons were effective against masses of soldiers. The Kareden, however, would disperse, as was usual for them, and attack from several directions at the same time. Osanarian chemical weapons ended up destroying its own streets and hurting its own people, while taking out very small amount of the enemy.

Finally, it is conceivable that [[Prince Kol]] would not have made a decision to attack Osa Nara if he knew more about it, but as the Kareden emerged from somewhere in Central or even Southern Tarnaria, neither Prince Kol nor his people really knew that much about Osa Nara and its legendary power. Interestingly enough, [[king_anashary|Deiecut Nornan]] should have been able to advise Prince Kol, since, being from the north, he must have known. But not only did he not stop Prince Kol, he led the invasion.
