Etymology

'Theru' comes from the name of the native ethnicity of the area which is now Teru. It is believed to be descended from an unknown Proto-Lahiri word, although the origin may predate even this. It was adopted in reference to the people, language and lands of Teru around DATE, when EVENT happened.

The Teru film industry is very small but has experienced significant growth in recent years, with the introduction of the partially government-funded FILM Theru (Teru Film) company, which has almost dominated the industry and is looking to reach out internationally.

Cuisine

Teru cuisine is mainly made up of XXX.

One notable food is Teru cheese. It is one of the softest cheeses on Sahar, so much so that it is almost a liquid. The fresh milk is taken into the cheesery and separated into curds and whey. Ground up spices and fruits are then added and it is left to infuse. The whole creation process can take only a few days, leading to a sloppy product which is often seen as being rushed and low quality by cheese connoisseurs. The world of Teru cheese-making is much more complex than they would have you believe though, with each cheesery producing its own unique blend. Some famous types include: the NAME cheese, with its distinctive mix of goat and coconut milk, flavoured with chilli and coconut shavings and named in the honour of the deity DEATH-DEITY, the NAME - a cheese involving nuts and a weak wine, containing several other ingredients from across Sahar and the NAME Theru, containing meat and grain from the finest farms in the country.
