History
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.

Architecture
Tarneosi architecture is very distinct, each town has its own unique style based off its geographical location and the whims of its leader. Aspeia is primarily built out of deepslate which is found in abundance on the local coastal fault line. Atridia is built of wood from the Tarneosi forests and stone quarried from the nearby mountains. New Yavania is built out of sandstone found along the coastline of Tarneos lake and the river that snakes between New Yavania and Atridia. Nair is built in the style of Sake Den, the capital of Charm, as Duchess Juliana was educated there during her childhood. However, the Tarneosi also have many common structures within their cities, making their cities unique and easy to identify.
