The Alharun is a film genre that, as described by the Andro Academy of Fine Arts, "set in the western regions of Alharu, embodies a struggle for survival, grit, and a defiant frontier spirit." Traditionally Alharuns are set in the Alharun Frontier, a region generally considered to stretch from the Chenshas Lake to the Hei Sea, and bounded to the south by either the Moros Mountains, or Bahia del Trébol and the Synthe Sea depending on the source. The majority of land area of what is considered the frontier is taken up by the Paran Desert, which features prominently in Alharun fiction and has influenced the aesthetic elements of many films and art pieces. There are many examples of stories of the genre being set in locations outside of the frontier – including Mesothalassa, Cashari Island, and even parts of Aurelia. Conventionally, Alharuns are set in the historical era from 1845 to 1910.
History
Origins
Alharuns draw inspiration from multiple sources. The characteristic aesthetics and stunt work of early Alharuns draw on performances seen in shows and circuses that began to gain prominence towards the end of the "Wild Alharu" period in more populated areas. Stories and themes characteristic of Alharuns come from contemporary Wild Alharu popular literature, folk tales, and Esonian samurai stories. These stories typically portray black-and-white morality, a romanticized view of frontier life, and a loner protagonist struggling with their place in the wurld.
