History
Early history
Tonaran was a fortress near Luzoh, one of the ancient cities of Asdoh. Luzoh was abandoned after Asdoh had been effectively dissolved by military and political pressure from Stogen. However, a number of nobles and their families decided to stay in the city. Wealthier citizens from Estonoh, the former capital of Asdoh, began to migrate to the north, and some ended up in Luzoh.
Families quickly moved to Tonaran which was considered to be safer against the constant threat of Stogen, as well as opportunistic toors forming in the area en masse. As more families moved in, the fortress began to be expanded.
The City That Defeated the Gods
The official date of Tonaran's founding comes only about 150 years later. It's not clear who was ruling the city at the time, but a letter from the "Gole of Tonaran" is recorded in 342 SR in Maird, inviting the king of Maird to the second anniversary of the city's founding.
As the age of Moroh completely took hold of northern Tarnaria, the area of former Asdoh was now dominated by numerous toors, constantly fighting for resources and domination. Tonaran's position on the eastern bank of Erna made it a gateway to both the Commonground from the west and to Teamatian from Tarnaria.
Blue Shield Squad were a group of superhero warriors from Commonground who have made a name for themselves during a battle at the Koatooy river on Laeooy Coast. They then promised to become the rulers of Tarnaria and began by marching on Tonaran, but were killed in the ensuing battle.
