    Grand Tartaria was a mythical empire located in northern and central Asia that was inhabited by a multi-ethnic, multi-religious culture and stretched from the Caspian Sea to the Pacific Ocean. The Tartarians had their own language and were led by khans and an emperor. They were known for their advanced architecture and equestrian skills. While some legends described giants and entrances to an inner earth, the Tartarian empire was eventually conquered by Russia in the late 18th century and its history was erased.

    Grand Tartaria

    A mythical empire located in northern and central Asia stretching eastwards from the
    Caspian Sea and the Ural Mountains to the Pacific Ocean. Inhabited by an Aryan-Turkic,
    multi-religious, multi-ethnic culture found throughout Asia, and parts of Europe. Christians,
    Muslims, Buddhists, and others live in peace in Tartaria; it is the law of equality.
    They speak their own language called Tartarian. Their kings are called Khans and
    they follow an Emperor. They are master horse-lords and are advanced in architecture. The
    culture seems a mix of Russian, Indian, Chinese, Mongolian, etc.
    There are Tartarian Giants in some remote regions, as well as rumors of polar
    entrances to an Inner Earth. Their own scholars believe they inherited their knowledge from
    an ancient race from the Inner Earth, the Draugur, also called Dwarves. In Tartaria myth
    and legends meet reality.

    Timeline
    1220’s. Prester John, a Christian King from India, fails to defeat the Tartarian Khan.
    1387 – 1400. The Canterbury Tales mentions “the Royal Court of Tartary”, as well as many
    other writers and scholars over the years, such as Marco Polo, William Shakespeare, and
    others.
    1552. Ivan the Terrible sacks Kazan. Using canons he blew up the city wall and then stormed
    in. Other major khanates on Moscovia’s border fell; the Tartarians fell from the European
    political arena.
    1598. On maps, the Duchy of Russia is distinct from Grand Tartaria, and not mentioned as
    an empire.
    1623. At this time Tartary is a world-known Empire, challenged by Russia.
    1775. Finally conquered by Russia.
    1809. Tartaria’s flag and standard show up in a US Navy listing of all the countries of the
    world. After that, all mention of Tartary is ridiculed as fable. Cartographers stop putting it
    on maps. Tartary, its cultures, and history, are fully erased from history by Russian scholars.
    Large sections are given over to China and the Middle East, new counties like Mongolia and
    Kazakhstan are formed and the rest becomes Russian Siberia.
