Etymology

Nar is the common name for the river in modern Hartraan, which derives from the old Junda name of the city, Mariye.

In ancient Eloyoun the river was Yéhourupf. Marou in ancient Eloyounplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigEloyoun People

The Eloyoun people are an ethnic group found throughout eastern and northeastern Anásthias. They are the majority ethnicity in Kahtoyn and most of southern Harthera. Modern Hartheran language and culture is a blend of Eloyoun and Iskean.

The Eloyoun people claim descent from the ancient realm of
means mound or island, hence Mariyé meant “mound/island in the Yéhourupf”.

In ancient Junda “izét” means island, so the city was called Narizet, Junda not having an M sound. Therefore they called the river the Nar.
