Tierrador is a combination of the Spanish phrase “Tierra del Oro” (lit. Land of Gold). During the Indigenous Cronan settlement period of the nation's history, the western and central portions were considered sacred lands due to its value in terms of resources and cultural significance. Once the land was | Tierrador has two official names: Tierrador, and Terranóq. The name "Terranóq" originated from the Qabór term "Tier Ma Nóq," which translates roughly to "Land of my land," due to the Terra-Qabór suffix "-nóq" meaning "land of". The reason for the use of Terranóq was to distinguish Qabór land from other tribe lands, as mainly to not cause confusion between hunters from the Qabór and Youkafee nations. Eventually, as parts of the Qabór language were used to develop the Tierradorian language, "Tier Ma Nóq" was eventually merged into one word, the "ma" was omitted and changes in spelling created the word "Terranóq," which is the official name for Tierrador. However, the name "Tierrador" is used by most of the world, as that is what was used by Sarpedonian and Levantine traders in the 19th century. | ||
Tierrador is a combination of the Spanish phrase “Tierra del Oro” (lit. Land of Gold). During the Indigenous Cronan settlement period of the nation's history, the western and central portions were considered sacred lands due to its value in terms of resources and cultural significance. Once the land was discovered by [[Pelaxia]] in the late 1600s, the settlers discovered several gold deposits scattered across the Western and Central portions of Tierrador. This led to many conflicts between colonial powers to determine who truly held the rights to the sacred lands. Despite this, Tierrador emerged victorious from said conflicts, and was never settled by a colonial power. However, the nation took advantage of its many riches and began trade with Sarpedonian and Levantine powers, in which they began dubbing the nation "Tierrador." | |||
