'''Ny’Tewien Island''' ([[W:Dutch language|Vistarian]]: ''Terwenia'', [[W:Icelandic language|Eyjarian]]: ''Teweyj'', [[W:Maltese language|Vorpestian]]: ''Terwanja'') is an island in disputed waters to the West of [[Borea]], and the second largest of the Tewien Islands. The island is split into three distinct ''de facto'' [[w:sovereignty|sovereign]] areas, with [[Vistaraland]], [[Eyjaria]] and [[Norgsveldet]] each having claims on the island in its entirety.

The Vistari-controlled area of the island, officially the Unincorporated Territory of [[Terwenia]] primarily occupies coastal regions in the southwest centred in the village of Leistoren. Vistari colonization of the island began in the late 16th Century under the [[Vistari Colonial Company]] in order to extract the island's considerable slate deposits, however active protection and administration of the island was reduced heavily throughout the next two centuries. Despite this, believing they still had unopposed claim to the island, [[Vistaraland]] included it as a dependency of [[Vorpest]] in 1929, and assert the Act which did so as a reaffirmation of Vistari ownership of the island. The territory is currently the only one of the three to host a formal military location, being the small Leistoren Coastal Garrison - which has stationed a flotilla of patrol boats, as well as a number of security personnel, since 1986.
