Before there were three countries on Tulaan there were simply 3 things: Poke'mon, Community and Faith in Arceus. While the villages that would one day be Quayoff were declaring themselves 'Suvauni', Poke'mon that had long ago moved north into the Arcea region were beginning to leave the safe cradle of the Arceali valley and explore the lands beyond. It's said that Taeriana is the second village ever created in Arcean history, built by those very explorers as they made contact with Quayoffi.
Now Taeriana still stands as a symbol of the alliance Arcea and Quayoff share.
The village has, of course, been rebuilt, added to, changed, burned down and sacked during war and rebuilt again and again in the tens of thousands of years it has existed. All the while it has been a village staying strictly traditional in the old Arcean religion. Taeriana generally rejects technological advances and modern thinking, which they tend to find reprehensibly greedy.
That being said, Taeriana has still managed to open a partnership with the independent City-State of Dove' Fo Uddjo. For thousands of years the village leader of Taeriana has had the sole authority to sell and distribute passes into the city of Psychics, as the moral and traditional Poke'mon of Taeriana struck the psychics as the best judges of character. Whether this was a good call is debated, but the psychics of Dove' Fo Uddjo are known for being eccentric, and now it is locked in as a long tradition that the people of Taeriana hold with pride.
For this reason, the only time Taeriana is visited by outsiders is when nobles and businessmen wish to go to Dove Fo Uddjo on holiday. This has been how Taeriana funds itself in the wake of rising property taxes and fees that have shut down other, larger villages and towns over the last century. Taeriana has no protections as a historical town, they've simply managed to hold on all this time. In general, focus on Taeriana by the Conduicy and Guild is minimal, as the village provides little for anyone beyond themselves.
The start of the Pearls crisis saw Team Azure rushing for Taeriana to get vouchers to Dove Fo Uddjo in order to enlist the help of a powerful psychic. However, Taeriana needed some long-overdue help of its own...
