I once asked a wise old monster the very question you put forth today.

That wise old monster said to me something I will never forget ...." that what stares you in the face is hardest to find". " The name of the planet although forgotten is written right in front of you the whole time.", The wise old monster proclaimed. " It is knows that the splintering of our planet created The Splinterlands and the naming of those lands to Splinterlands was no coincidence". The Wise Man continued,"As with current times us Monsters that habbitated the planet did not get along and we set aside in our own groups in which we called Splinters thus the name of our planet was and always has been Splinterland."
