Turalian

Turalian is a fictional region featured in the fantasy novel "The Dragon Prince" by Aaron E. Smith. Located on the continent of Aeridor, Turalian is known for its vast, rolling plains and scattered forests. The region is primarily inhabited by humans, who have established several independent settlements and a loose confederation for mutual defense. The economy of Turalian is largely agricultural, with wheat, barley, and livestock forming the backbone of their sustenance.

Historically, Turalian has experienced periods of both peace and conflict. It has faced invasions from northern barbarian tribes and internal strife between its various settlements. The political structure is decentralized, with local lords and councils holding significant power. Despite this fragmentation, Turalians share a common culture and language, often characterized by their resilience and strong sense of community.

The geography of Turalian plays a significant role in its development. The fertile plains allow for extensive farming, while the forests provide timber and game. Rivers crisscross the region, serving as important trade routes and sources of water. Turalian's proximity to other regions on Aeridor means it is often involved in broader continental affairs, either through trade, diplomacy, or conflict. The people of Turalian are generally depicted as pragmatic and hardy, accustomed to the challenges of their environment and the often-turbulent political landscape.
