Lore
((This Lore is just a start...))

Taerni
are people of Taernsbia. But the name Taerni means something else. Taerni are a mix of natives who lived in and around Thos (Thos is a name for a desert in Taernsbia) and nomads who were travelling around eldham. The natives called the nomads tha meaning you, in Tarnian. The natives were very kind towards nomads, and gained shelter to them because they were starving for help as their king in thier nation just got overthrown and their nation was ruled by a tyrant. The natives were less educated, hardly knowing anything about the world, but nomads on the other hand were very educated and literate and a service-to-service relationship was created. Nomad taught natives about world, while natives gave food and shelter to natives. Thus began the creation of first communities and cities and Taerni existed. Merging of these people lasted for some years before they started to call themselves Taerni and it happened somewhere in 1500 BJC.

Kingdom of Thos
is the first kingdom of Taerni. Little is known by this kingdom, but we know that its first king was Malkofor, and that after him his descendants ruled the kingdom for about 400 years. Kingdom contained a core desert with some surroundings, this is the map with assumptions.

Later on historians would mention that Malkofor and his descendants were great enemy slayers and conquerors and that they managed to defeat thugs that were threatening Taerni, from all sides.

1st Nodinum of Taernsbia
Later in Tarnian history the ruler of Taernsbia will be called Nodin, but the name Nodin has a big story. There was a crisis in Taernsbia, Malkofor's line was ended and Taerni were leaderless. As a result a kingdom of Astori invaded Taerni and ruled. Taerni were furious and wanted to rebel, but never succeded. Then in about 850 BJC a young man Nodin started to rally all Taerni throughout desert of Thos and around it. He managed to rally an army so big that the Astori Kingdom was frightened. Some years have passed and Nodin re-established The Kingdom of Thos. Final battle for Tarnian independence happened 524 BJC. it took place north from where city of Thosamlo currently is, in a swamp. Nodin was slained by the enemy general Estlor. His sword dropped and his son, Husto, rushed for the blade, killing every enemy on his way. He grabbed the blade and started dueling Estlor. As two of them were fighting a circle by Taerni and Astori soldiers around them was formed. Soldiers cheering for their leaders. Husto, just a 19 years old showed his Taerni blood and he slained the enemy. Estlor was well respected general and he was known to be skilled, but he was just slained by a 19 year old. Husto then shouted: ''March! March forth Taerni brothers! Send them to their DOOM!'' Astori soldiers were frightened and started to pull back, Taerni soldiers marched at them, motivated by their new leader Husto. As Taerni marched Husto dropped on his knees next to his dead father. He was crying and there he swore he will never let Taernsbia die. Taerni won the battle and Husto was crowned as Nodin. Husto honored his Father by naming the title Nodin of Taernsbia. Husto praised his father so much calling him Father of Taernsbia and Taerni remembered him as the Father of Taerni.

Establishment of Taernsbia
Taernsbia's split from Ellysia was carried out for a multitude of reasons, some citizens disagreed with the Ellysian King Thas Ellas and his actions, some felt unsafe being associated with the tyrants of Ellysia, some feared what may happen as a result of a Coalition victory in the Second Coalition-Ellysian War, and some simply wanted to make their own rules.

On the June 17th, 2021, the then mayor of Taernsby, Emmerman, had struck a deal with a member of the Second Coalition named Xeroise Ronango'O. This deal consisted of the Taerni people leaving the city for good and leaving the territory of the former Ellysian Empire forever and forming their own nation. This resulted in the immediate coronation of Sultan Emmerman I of Taernsbia and the establishment of the nation.

Settlement
The nation for a short time had been ping-ponged between locations and did not have a permeant home until on June 22nd, 2021, when a deal was made with the nation of Limuria that resulted in the Taerni people being able to establish their new nation, buying a piece of land from the Limurians.

Forced vassalisation by Regnum Drakaes
June 30th 2021, Emmerman signed a deal with Regnum Drakes to become a princely state of their nation. The Sultan supposedly agreed as he and other officials believed they could provide for them, however in actuality they, aswell as the Taerni people, knew Drakes would force themselves on Taernsbia if they refused, as they had so many times before with other small, unwilling nations.

Independence and new allies
For some time Taernsbia lived with the name Regnum Drakes over their own, however on the 18th of July 2021 the Taerni declared independence. As expected, the people suffered threats of war over their decleration, however they were then offered protection and many powerful allies through the nearby Pirate State of Barbossa.

The deal with Barbossa was similar to the one with Regnum Drakes, however Taernsbia was offered more public independence as well as free will to claim independence at any time - they were not bound to the deal by threat of war. Taernsbia's switch, among other diplomatic switching, led to Barbossa's diplomatic crisis with Regnum Drakes. People all over Eldham believe Taernsbia betrayed Regnum Drakaes, which was not the case, Taernsbia seeked Independence and Barbossa offered that.

Later, Taernsbia joined Barbossa and lived happily ever after, sike Uraka happened. Due to some conflicts between Uraka and Barbossa, Uraka called its all allies to fight against Barbossans, this was known as Kraken's Demise or Valorant war. With that war ended Barbossa was no more, but it was a new start for Taernsbia. Taernsbia was independed and became a republic. It stayed as a republic for some time.

Here is a personal account of the history of Taernsbia from all of the officials in the form of a story: People of Taernsbia

Changes in Taerni government
Taernsbia's government was leading Taernsbia from the end of Kraken's Demise to an event thats called Mafia Takeover. Tarnian Mafia carried out a coup against Tarnian government and took over the power in Taernsbia.

Tarnian Mafia
This Mafia is an alliance between 4 crime families in Taernsbia, Lafethes, Sohathoy, Noyethor and Elrisum, with Elrisum being the main family and the leader of Tarnian Mafia.

Lafethes family is a well respected family in Taernsbia, the family is known by being rich, at some points in the history they were the richest family in Taernsbia, some believe on the whole continent of Avalof, at the time. Nobody knew how did this family get so much money, because they managed to hide it well, and the way is their crime activity. Lafethes are making and selling drugs throughout Eldham. The family also has a great influence on Tarnian Government because many people from the Lafethes family, somewhere in history were a part of governemnt, thats one reason of their reputation in Taernsbia.

Noyethor family is known throughout taernsbia and Avalof as owner of "Noye Deals", a gambling company. They would bet with people, but all of that would be rigged. Also Noyethor family is known for being merchants and crafting gear and weapons and selling it illegally to other families and nations, avoiding taxes.

Sohathoy family is an alcohol-producing family. It is a tradition in their family, to produce alcohol. Alcohol seems legal, but its exportation was not. In some time in the past, to export your goods in Taernsbia you would just need approval of local mayor and thats it, no taxes. At some point taxes were implemented and it disrupted the profit, so Sohathoy family decided to export it illegally, even though Taernsbia does not have taxes anymore Sohathoy is still exporting their alcohol without governemnt knowing about it.

Elrisum family is a rich family known for their piracy and banditry. Unlike other families, this one was honest about what they were doing, it reached its full potential when Taernsbia was a big ally and part of Barbossa. This Family has its 'bright' side, and thats merchants, forging weapons and armor, even though they are considered as good part of family, they are still forging weapons and armor for their bandits.
