Tamaregion

Tamaregion is a loosely defined area located in the southeastern part of the continent of Luminara, encompassing a mix of coastal lowlands, rolling hills, and forested highlands. The region spans approximately 12,000 square kilometres and is bounded by the Azure Sea to the east, the Greater River Basin to the north, and the adjacent highland provinces of Veloria and Kreston to the west and south respectively.

Geographically, Tamaregion is characterized by a temperate climate with mild winters and warm, humid summers, supporting a diverse range of flora and fauna. The coastal zone contains fertile alluvial plains used for rice and citrus cultivation, while the interior hills are known for vineyards and olive groves. The higher elevations contain mixed deciduous-coniferous forests that have historically supplied timber and game.

Historically, the area was inhabited by several indigenous groups prior to the 12th‑century expansion of the Kingdom of Luminara, which established the first permanent settlements. Over the following centuries, Tamaregion became a crossroads of trade, linking maritime routes with inland caravan paths. The region’s towns, such as Port Selene and Hilltown Vira, grew as commercial hubs, and the area was incorporated into the modern nation‑state of Luminara during the 19th‑century unification.

The population of Tamaregion is estimated at 1.8 million, with a mix of ethnic Lusian, Krestan, and immigrant communities. The economy remains largely agrarian, though recent development has diversified it with light manufacturing, tourism focused on its historic coastal forts, and a modest technology park near the capital, Tamara City. Cultural traditions include the annual Harvest Festival, folk music featuring the lute‑like tamara, and a cuisine noted for its spice‑infused seafood dishes.
