Terra


Goddess of Earth


Terra, as her name implies, is the goddess of Earth. You can think her as a construction service. She usually does absolutely nothing, but whenever someone needs a new plane or Acernos or Mundus needs major reshaping and/or fixing Terra goes to work. However, in Mundus’ case she must send her Lords to take care of the problem as gods are forbidden to enter Mundus. Even though Terra is a very passive goddess she is widely worshipped among common folk such as farmers and hunters.

Terra is usually portrayed as a short and plump woman at her fifties. Her avatar is often illustrated as a gentle and motherly figure. Terra is one of the gods that almost never takes physical form. Even when she talks to her Lords and Ladies she almost never shows herself.

Terra’s three sub gods represent Mountains, Animals and Forests. Terra’s sub gods are similar to her in the sense that they are also very passive. Fera the goddess of Animals is responsible for the occasional births of shape shifters. Shape shifters are common humans and demigods who are blessed by Fera and are able to take animal form. As a minor note shape shifters should not be confused with races such as kitsunes and dragons, as they are basically very intelligent demigod animals who are able to take human form.

See you next Sunday!
