Asdoh /'yɑsdə/ was the first documented Tarnarian state of the Dawn settlers.
With the mission of creating an Eastern Dantrian civilization, as a counterpart to Western Dantria, it re-created elements of the Western Dantrian culture, such as architecture and government, with the goal of expanding its influence and control over the whole of Tarnaria.
Reaching its peak at the end of the first revolution, Asdoh's influence began to decline soon after that. Asdoh was eventually abolished by Stogen in the 2nd CSR and broken down into individual city states, most of which have been then deserted. Ernele is the only surviving city of Asdoh, retaining some of the ancient buildings.
Asdoh's sophisticated governance, economics, Western Dantrian cultural heritage and the fact that so much of its brilliance was lost, turned it into a legendary country, highly mythologized and revered by many as the greatest Tarnarian civilization. The emergence of the Mōroh philosophy in the 2nd CSR had treated Asdoh as the biggest religious mistake of the peoples of Tarnaria, condemning the sedentary form of life, which was understood as the refusal to follow one's path.
The Asdoh vs Mōroh debate is still prevalent in Tarnaria and is an ideological divide between some groups.
History
Technology
Asdoh was a major soft power in the first revolution, with Asdohn scholars, architects and artisans being in high demand. Almost every major palace in Tarnaria before 2 SR had been built by Asdohn architects.
At the same time, Asdoh did not export its knowledge and its educational and vocational systems were strictly limited to its citizens.
Asdoh's own technological level was an export from Dantria. Unlike many of the Dawn pioneers, Asdohns retained a lot of the Dantrian knowledge.
Infrastructure
Asdoh was notable for building wide and flat roads out of red stone, known as "red roads". This technology is believed to have originated in Western Dantria. It was largely lost after the dissolution of the State of Asdoh, although the Empire of Barud used a similar technique. It was equally lost when Barud was overrun by Stogen in the 2nd CSR.
These roads allowed for much faster travel and communication, which also led to a wider distribution of cities and settlements, since it was possible to reach larger cities and water supplies from farther away.
