Terre Ternguiré

Terre Ternguiré is known by several names. The original settlers, particularly in the north, call it Turtle Island. To those in Europe, Asia, and Africa, it is sometimes called the New World. The first Europeans to arrive from Ireland called it Tír Tairngire - the prophesied land. This name was taken by the subsequent French explorers, misheard and transcribed as well as they could, into Terre Ternguiré. It was this name that spread to the rest of Europe and is considered its proper name. Most often, the first word is dropped in casual discussion and it is known simply as Ternguiré. Ternguiré is divided into two continents - North Ternguiré and South Ternguiré. Ternguiré is a vast continent that stretches from the arctic all the way to the bottom of the world. It's home to around 25 million people and contains a diverse array of civilizations and geographic regions.
