Tannaea (region)
Tannaea is the name of a historical region in southeast Marcasia, on the western shores of the Denurean Sea. The region covered an area approximately corresponding to the borders of modern-day Tannaea province, albeit slightly smaller. It was inhabitated first by the Eleena (known to the Areth as the Tann), but was later also settled by the Areth and various other ethnic groups. Today nearly a third of the region's population is dusleida.
The region has had a chequered history, being first conquered and dominated by the Lazeian Empire, then the Andu Empire, and subsequently reconquered in the campaign of Arithian Reunification. As part of the province of Tannaea, it achieved autonomy for the first time in over two thousand years, with the Arithian parliament's passage of the Devolution Act in 1979 CIE.
