Republic of Terranova
A name often confused with real nations on Terros.
Pirateaba's The Wandering Inn series never includes a Republic of Terranova in its official canon. Travelers and scholars on Terros talk about many real countries, but no map or historical record mentions this specific nation. Readers usually mix up the continent name, Terros, with an actual power like Pallass or Liscor.

Lore & Background
In the rich tapestry of The Wandering Inn, political power is divided among distinct entities like the Kingdom of Pallass, the City-State of Liscor, and the Antinium Hives. There is no record of a 'Republic' structure dominating any region in the way described by this name. Confusion often arises because the continent is named Terros, and some ancient empires—such as the Empire of Drath or other unnamed powers—once held sway, but no 'Empire of Terros' ever existed. Scholars note that names like Terranova may stem from travelers mixing up Earth terminology with fantasy geography. The System itself does not grant titles or nations of this specific designation to any known faction. Consequently, any reference to a Republic of Terranova in fan discussions is considered apocryphal rather than part of the core narrative history.
In Their Own Story
A weary merchant paused at the edge of the map table, tracing fingers over the inked borders of Pallass and Basadi. 'I seek passage to the Republic,' he muttered, eyes scanning for a name that wasn't there. The innkeeper wiped a mug, shaking her head gently. 'There is no such place on Terros, friend. You're looking at the wrong map.' He sighed, realizing his journey had begun with a ghost of a name.
Reader's Guide
Since this faction does not exist in canon, this guide serves to clarify the actual political landscape of The Wandering Inn. The world is primarily divided between humans and other races like Antinium. Major human powers include Pallass, known for its knights and nobility, and Liscor, a trading hub with ties to monsters. There are no 'Republics' in the traditional sense; governance varies from monarchies to city councils. Travelers should be wary of maps claiming otherwise, as they may depict alternate realities or fanon additions not supported by the main story.
