A turbine vane with endwalls, wherein at least one endwall is formed from two or more sections configured such that the sections form releasable joints with a generally elongated airfoil of the turbine vane. The sections may be configured to both support the generally elongated airfoil and to establish cooling fluid flowpaths between the sections and the generally elongated airfoil to cool the aspects of the turbine vane proximate to the intersection of the endwalls and the generally elongated airfoil. In addition, the joints between the generally elongated airfoil and the sections may be formed from a connection system that enables forces to be transmitted from the generally elongated airfoil to the endwalls without creating stresses found in conventional turbine vane fillets at the intersection between the generally elongated airfoil and the endwalls.
