Turan was a Hyrkanian Kingdom, west of the Vilayet. The Turanians were more sedentary than their eastern relatives, though more disciplined. Some Hyrkanian tribes served as Light Cavalry under Turanian command.

Turanian Allies included Hyrkania, Zamora, Stygia and Eastern Free Companies.

The Turanian army is based on that of the Early Sassanid Persian Army on the Warflute site.

The Turanian banner depicts an Arabic style script across the centre of a green field (similar to the current Saudi Arabian flag).
