Tierrapuerta

The original portal from which the English and Spanish settlers passed through to populate Altierra. It was destroyed by an earthquake (in Patagonia) in the year ???.

Etymology

The name comes from the merging of Tierra (Land) and Puerta (Door/Gate). Originally, it was La Puerta de la Tierra but became shortened over time.

The English settlers name it Worldshole (from World's and Hole). When the Spanish arrived, this name soon became confined to mythology, becoming a folklore term for a place where people vanish or supernatural beings appear.
