Yavania

Yavania, officially the Duchy of Yavania, is the 2nd largest component of the Kingdom of Tarneos, within the Third Akratian Empire. It is located in the north-western Tarneos region of Sparwood's Akratian Peninsula. The Duchy of Yavania, as an entity, is also the direct successor to the states of Yavanarad/Yavanistan and Atridia/Atridistan, with these areas' former territories having occupied parts of the, now far larger, Duchy of Yavania.

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. The modern nation of the Kingdom of Tarneos was founded on July 4th, 2023, by Ayedren Lechnios-Yavanov, the region's de-facto dictator since October of 2022. Currently Tarneos is a region inside of Tortuga.

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 it's 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 coastal fault line that Aspeia sits on. Atridia is built of wood from the Tarneosi forests and stone quarried from the nearby mountains. New Yavanarad is built out of sandstone found along the coastline of Tarneos lake, and the river that snakes between New Yavanarad, and Atridia. Nair is built in the style of Charm's capital, Sake Den, as Duchess Juliana was educated in Charm during her childhood. However, the Tarneosi also have many common structures within their cities, which make their cities unique, and easy to identify.
