'''Termina''' is the crowning city of [[El Nido]], constructed on the northeastern corner of the isle after the settlement of the islands by colonists from mainland [[Zenan]]. To villagers in [[Arni]], it was considered an affluent, gleaming city. A stark contrast to the wooden, natural town of [[Guldove]], it was sculpted out of white stone and concrete in a terraced slope approaching the sea. At the base of the sea, where the superstructure met the water, several docks allowed quick access to the sea, while provisions were made above for many types of commercial shops and residential housing. Termina was also constructed to allow a stream descending from mountains to allow intracity travel and add to the stunning scenery of the sea; one could see the shore and visions of sun and sand from nearly anywhere in the establishment. At the head of the tallest echelon, with back to the sea, stood a statue of Lord [[Viper]]. Under the leadership and protection of the [[Acacia Dragoons]], the town flourished for one hundred years. In 1020 A.D., it prepared to celebrate its 100th anniversary; during that year, the city was host to [[Van]] and [[Gogh]], a miser and painter, [[Zappa]] and [[Zippa]], the blacksmith and his wife, John and his friends, a hero in training, [[Greco]] and [[Romana]], caretakers of the cemetery, [[Lisa]] and her father, [[Element| Elements]] salespeople, the Barkeep of the ''Dragon's Tail'' bar, famous for its squid-gut pasta, and many other colorful citizens. The festival was also slated to feature the rocking [[Magical Dreamers]] group, with [[Nikki]] and [[Miki]] at the helm. Once [[Kid]] traveled back in time to save [[Serge]] and the dimensions split, the history of Termina took a different turn.

After Serge's body was switched with Lynx, he found Karsh and [[Zoah]] hiding at the ''Dragon's Tail'' bar; they related the story of Lynx's doublecrossing Lord Viper, and concocted a plan to rescue his daughter [[Riddel]] and reunite with the others. Porre had erstwhile conquered the city in the absence of the Dragoons; though it was not converted to represent its depressing counterpart in Home World, the activities of the Viper festival were nonetheless frozen to a halt by the presence of armed soldiers in every part of the city. The citizens did not take kindly to the soldiers, as the barkeep who shielded the Devas attested. Porre tried and failed to shut down Zappa's smithy as well; Serge later returned with Zappa from Home World so that the two could learn how to forge [[Rainbow Shell]] items.

==Name Origin==
Termina is likely an adaptation of ''"terminal"'' which means to be threatened by or at the final stages of death. In [[w:c:zelda:The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Majora's_Mask|Majora's Mask]], the mainland continent is also named [[w:c:zelda:Termina|Termina]] for nearly identical reasons.
