This page is a work in progress. Not everything written here might stay.
Terumbu Nagaram is a city at the western border (2023) of the Shire, southeast of Zenophalia. It is being built by Zalidia and was inspired by a world building project of his and the real life Meenakshi Temple.
Terumbu Nagaram is among the oldest cities of the Shire. It is built mainly on a large beach next to a coral reef, that has been historically significant to the city in terms of economy and culture. The reef has 4 big rocky islands in it, each of them with a building. This all together is called the Desa Karang (which translated to 'Town of coral'), an iconic monument in the city. This city is the founder and host member of the Iustitia Alliance.
Landmarks
Desa Karang
The Desa Karang is the most prominent landmark in Terumbu Nagaram. It is used for many things. From entertainment for the masses to a museum, from a library to the government building. They are described in this section.
The Desa Karang consists of 4 buildings. The northern island's building has a small dock and is otherwise mostly a tribune for audiences or the senate, depending on what day it is and what the Desa Karang is used for that day. If it is a friday, it's a guaranteed debate day for the government.
The southern island has the gate to the city.
The center island and the biggest of them all has the Tahusemua, a large and colorful temple-like building. Here you can find a banner and map museum, as well as the oldest discovered map of the Shire: Map 57. It has a stage with a speaker chair for lawsuits, entertainment, government debates, et cetera. The top of the building is like a clock with 5 sections, each indicating a type of event currently going on. It defaults to the middle section, the pink one, which indicates no event.
The western and eastern islands have the library and a house that is rumoured to be where the founder of the city lived or still lives. It was rebuilt a couple of times, as the current building there is only the fifth iteration of this house. The library has a collection of books any Shireling can contribute to and any Shireling can read any book they want to in the library.
Utara Square
Utara Square lies in the center of downtown Terumbu Nagaram. It is surrounded by embassies of To'ufenua, Olympia, (more to come). In the middle of the square, there is a hole in the ground that has the remains of the oldest discovered Temburan house, and around it 4 arrows in the tiles of the square that point in the 4 cardinal directions, which is what it was named after: "north square".
