Terle
Terle is in the northern part of The Shield, rather than being a kingdom, it is rather a geographic region. At various times the area was united under a single government that usually gave itself the name Terle (such as during the Rise of the Elemenstors Period), but those governments were quick to come and go. The Terle geographic region itself was one of the first to be named in Battal, referring to the eastern regions of The Northern Vale and the northern regions of Atlantistantinople. Terle takes its name from the word "Terr'le" in the Arcane Elvin Language, meaning "windy plains".
The first governmental body to refer to itself as Terle by name was the First United Republic of Terle, founded in year 3,513 (TMSK), which at the time was formed from the northern part of the Ruins of Blee, along with much of what was called Shattered Kelembad. For more information on this region during this period, see the entry about Mungo Ratswarm.
This area that features, as its inhabitants, mostly Terleians. A number of other populations inhabit Terle too, and they are known as Terles. Often Terleians are referred to as Terles, but not always.
A popular rhyme goes like this: "A Terle girl will take you for a whirl, but a Sw'ftfl'woot girl will give you the world." Scholars maintain the rhyme may have changed from its original form, which explains why such a horrible rhyme caught on at all.
The Terle region is home to Lol'thoriun, one of the oldest Elvin cities.
In later years, its western extent was demarcated by the borders of the The Kingdom of Ezermethalon.
In southern Terle during the time of the Rise of the Elemenstors, there is a village named Walnut Grove, which was an entire village of Free Furniliars.
