The royal family of House Tarnaros has ruled over parts of the Tarneosi region for almost three years continuously since March of 2021. The state has gone through many evolution's over the years but is descended from the United Empire of Akratia, and venerates Akratian tradition.

Currently Tarneos is a region inside of the Pirate Dominion of Tortuga.

Brief History of Tarneos


The geographic area of Tarneos is the mountains and coastal valley immediately surrounding Lake Tarneos, which gets its name from House Tarnaros. The first settlement in the Tarneos area was in the year 2020 by settlers from the Kingdom of Sironia. These colonists founded a small village called Varintachan. However, the population was small and so the colony was soon purchased by the Second Akratian Empire.

The Emperor of Akratia, Neoz, wished to ensure that Akratia's western coast would be well defended, so he sent Kiven Tarnaros, son of Tarno, to build a fortified city on the old town of Varintachan. The fortified port city of Nair was founded in March of 2021, thus also founding the Duchy of Nair. This is beginning of Akratian culture in the Tarneos area, and the origin of House Tarnaros' control over Tarneos. Kiven was a prudent leader, and under his control the Duchy of Nair would become the wealthiest in the Empire. During the Akratian Civil War, Kiven elected to maintain the neutrality of Nair, and thus it was spared the scourge of war.

However, the Civil War caused the fracturing of Akratia, and the Empire was weakened past the point of repair; in an attempt to restore unity, the Empire attempted reforms, but it was too little too late. Akratia was partitioned in May of 2021, between the Pirate Empire of Tortuga, the Free State of Emerald, the Republic of Greenstem-Leythe, and the Duchy of Akratia. The Duchy of Nair found itself as part of Tortuga, thus marking the beginning of Tortugan control over Tarneos.

However, Tortuga would also go through periods of expansion, and then period of collapse. During one of these collapses the Duchy of Nair would become independent again, forming the Kingdom of Nair. The King, Kiven Tarnaros, then agreed to form a diarchy in December of 2021, with his closest friend Icey, who owned the city of Akratia. This diarchy was known as the Golden Union of Akratia, which was later changed to the Golden Union of Rithann. Rithann would be quickly made vassals of a resurgent Tortugan state, but still enjoyed a large degree of autonomy and controlled much old Akratian territory. Due to internal instability Rithann would face many revolts including, the Lionore Rebellion, the Apple Harbour Incident, and the attempted secession Yavanarad, Atridia, and Apple Harbor. In March of 2022, the Golden Union of Rithann was annexed by Tortuga, and thus Nair became a Duchy once again, and Tarneosi independence came to an end.
