=A Glimpse into Telrunya's Shadows=

=='''Nocturne Bazaar'''==

:Nestled just inside the edge of the dark forest [[Dragnid]], lies an intriguing and clandestine gathering place known as the Nocturne Bazaar. This enigmatic market emerges only under the shroud of a new moon, hidden from the prying eyes of the world beyond. It beckons to the creatures dwelling in the shadows, welcoming the dark underbelly of the land, [[Telrunya]], into its embrace.

:As the new moon ascends, veiling the underbelly world in darkness, the bazaar awakens. Luminous orbs suspended from trees create pockets of ethereal light, revealing a tapestry of stalls, tents, and veiled stands adorned with the trinkets and treasures of the arcane.

:At the heart of this beguiling marketplace lies the stall of the [[Aces High]], a dealer in artifacts and wonders rarely glimpsed by mortal eyes. Within this dimly lit alcove, cloaked in mystery, one can find the extraordinary and the forbidden. The dealer's collection is a fusion of dreams and nightmares, where one might discover relics of forgotten ages, charms ensconced in ancient spells, and talismans said to harness the very essence of Telrunya itself.

:Here, the impossible becomes reality. Those who seek entrance to the bazaar tread a path beyond the ordinary, where reality bends at the hands of sorcery and dark incantations. It is said that the enchanted masks of the [[fae]] are available here, each concealing the wearer's true nature and desires. Crystals that shimmer with starlight's glow are rumored to hold the essence of constellations within their facets, offering visions of futures unimagined.

==='''Stalls'''===

;Fox Fyre
: Come on into the mysterious little tent operated by one of the Twilight Fox's girls. Here you can purchase bottles of unique magic powers for the right price. All products sold here require an Arcanist to imbue or unleash the potential power within the unique bottles.

;Exotic Antiques
[[File:lilred_magic.png|left|100px|Lil' Red]]
: Special items from across the globe and then some. This is a little stall run by a small, mysterious little entrepreneur. She also runs a small shop on the side of the main trading post on the southwestern docks. This shop will sell unique and hard-to-get items from across the universe.

;The Dragon's Den
[[File:Akilah.png|left|100px|Akilah]]
:One tent is sitting nestled back away from others, but the sound of exotic animals reaches out. Cages are stacked and if one looks closer a Kitsune is weaving her way in and out cooing and chattering to them. It looks as though many an exotic friend is available for purchase! Who knows, you might find something exceptionally rare- though it can't be guaranteed it won't try to eat you while you sleep.

;Krov'kachayus
[[File:Myasnik.png|left|100px|Myasnik]]
:With a twist only possible by a planned hand... next door to the Dragon's Den sets a butcher with his wares set out for display on ice. Out front of this bloody stall is a bucket full of blood. Bobbing on the top are bright red apples with a sign that says "If you care for a discount you can bob yourself out an apple". The cages and rattling chains in the back speak of how fresh his wears are.

;Aces High
[[File:Kennedy.png|left|100px|Kennedy]]
:Artifacts and wonders rarely glimpsed by mortal eyes. Have you heard of Pandora's box... Kennedy claims to have it... and a bracelet that will slowly turn the wearer's brain to mush. But today he has only a few pointed artifacts to sell.

:Kennedy also offers an option to play a hand of cards. If you win, you win big, 3 special artifacts that he has stored away just for this special game. If you lose he simply will tell you to try again next time and tell you to go get a drink, on him, at the Twilight Inn! Talk to Nabi... she will take care of you!

;Birthright
[[File:Nisha.png|left|100px|Nisha]]
:This is a shop run by Nisha. It's a high, rectangular tent made of canvas, with the sides rolled up and tied with rope. Plush rugs line the floor. Curiosities and artifacts are displayed, but not for sale. Tables are set up with plenty of browsing room in between. A huge map of Telrunya Isle hung on the inside wall, with a hammock in one corner, a hookah and cushions in another. On the tables are potions labeled for the Pae to see.

;Silken Satin
[[File:Kinu.png|left|100px|Kinu]]
:Located just two spaces over from Fox Fyre, is a spacious covered stall that looks like a tent on the inside due to the dazzling array of fine silks on display. All the fabrics are exquisite and of exceptional quality. They have multiple bolts of beautiful fabric for sale. Perfect for making clothes. Along with those bolts of fabric there is also:

=A Haven of Wishes and Comforts=

:The Nocturne Bazaar is not solely a place of commerce. It is a stage where alliances and rivalries are forged under the cloak of night, where secrets are whispered like incantations, and desires are bartered for power. Those who partake in its offerings must tread with care, for the shadows have eyes and ears of their own.

:In this twilight realm, the Nocturne Bazaar stands as a testament to Telrunya's hidden depths—a realm where magic and darkness intertwine, and the unobtainable becomes a tangible reality for those willing to venture into its depths.

=='''The Twilight Fox'''==

[[File:Paeimages-players-antidia-mskitty.png|right|300px|caption]]

:Nestled on the fringes of the enchanting Nocturne Bazaar lies "Miss Kitty's Twilight Fox Inn," a haven of wishes and comforts for those who seek respite within the embrace of the night. [[Miss Kitty]] herself, a clever and enigmatic kitsune, is the heart and soul of this extraordinary establishment. With a flick of her tail and a knowing smile, she caters to the desires and whims of her patrons with an uncanny ability to proceed with any request.

:Step through the doors of The Twilight Fox, and you'll find a realm where the mundane and the magical intertwine seamlessly. A unique portal within the kitchen connects to distant lands and faraway islands, allowing the culinary artisans of the inn to conjure forth dishes from any corner of the world. Whether it's the spicy flavors of the Southern Isles or the delicate pastries of the Northern Glades, each dish is prepared with love and served with a dash of Miss Kitty's signature charm.

:Beyond the tantalizing aromas of the kitchen, The Twilight Fox boasts a bathhouse that rivals the opulence of the most renowned establishments. This haven of relaxation and rejuvenation is overseen by the same fairies who grace the [[Fallassion House of Healing]], known for their remarkable skills in soothing both body and spirit. Patrons from all walks of life can step into the ethereal waters and let their cares drift away, basking in the gentle glow of luminescent petals that dance upon the surface.

:Miss Kitty's Twilight Fox Inn is more than just an inn—it's a realm of enchantment where wishes are fulfilled, and comforts are freely bestowed. Under Miss Kitty's watchful and knowing gaze, guests are welcomed and embraced as if they were part of a greater family. The inn stands as a testament to the fusion of magic and hospitality, where every corner holds a secret waiting to be discovered, and every wish whispered is a wish fulfilled.

Faun

Teigra: /* Emberkin */

='''Earth'''=

Earth is one of the five crucial elements which keeps Telrunya alive. Earth is the foundation of all life, providing the soil in which all Pae'il walk, grow their food, and connect to nature. Faun believe the element of Earth has manifested as the Tree of Life, Laisidhiel, and is alive and caring for the entire island.

The Earth Element exists as a sapling hidden inside [[Laisidhiel]] which is protected by a magical doorway only a tiny handful of Faun are able to open. The entrance is behind Rais' dais, cleverly hidden as a woodcarving mural of all five elements. The sapling creates dew which falls from the tender leaves and is collected in a small pool built into the floor that surrounds the sapling. This dew is a potent concentration of earth magics and is used by the [[Seer Vanya]], [[Earthmother]], and [[Chief Rais]]. Rais' most important duty as Chief is to protect this sapling, the Earth Element. This sapling is fragile, and only one part of a highly sought-after item. Very few living Pae'il know of this item.

=='''Earth as an Energy Source'''==
Earth represents those things that are rigid and solid in this world. Pae'il with earth affinities are often stubborn, and highly resistant to movement or change. They are seen as confident Pae'il within society, though part of this confidence is merely that resistance to change, a desire for things to remain as they are.

Faun draw their power from the Earth. As long as they are among nature, they are connected to their energy source.

:'''Ancient Name''': Chi
:'''Season''': Winter

:'''Rituals''': sacrifice via fire, runes, burying items in the ground, carving images into wood, herbalism, blood offering (for seers only)

== '''Faun''' ==

==='''Magical'''===

Faun were born of the Earth Element, and are all children of the Great Tree, Laisidhiel. They grow inside special Acorns, to hatch when the time is right.

Faun are primeval Pae'il, but they share the same basic biological make-up as Angels, Demons, and Faeries. They are flesh, bone, and blood, even similar to humans.

All Pae'il are magical and possess the energy required to utilize that magic. Pae'il have an energy source called [[Aika]]. Ai is the magic of The Light, and ka is the magic of the Dark. Elemental magic is a more raw version of that lifeforce energy. Faun tap into that energy source to use their abilities. It is not unlimited, so a Faun must rest or find a way to replenish their energy before being able to cast another spell.

==='''Spiritual'''===

Pae'il have souls. Pae'il can be reincarnated, but not all are. The connection to their past self has to be discovered through long, arduous questing. No pae'il will know who they used to be without effort, although some may find certain things familiar, or certain triggers may unlock brief memories of the past.
Faun are connected to nature, particularly to the trees. Tree spirits choose to bless certain Faun, and take them under their protection. A Faun's branch antlers will reflect which tree spirit, if any, has chosen them. Most Faun are under the protection of Laisidhiel by default.
When a Faun dies, his fur will fade to grey and his body will lay where it landed for three days until it turns to earth. In its place, special flowers will sprout, followed by a sapling of the type of tree that Faun belonged to. Their soul will remain in the spirit world until they are reborn or [[Called]]. [[Spirit Healers]] can also escort a newly departed soul back to it's body provided it hasn't returned to the earth.
Faun believe all living things have spirits. Spirits differ from souls in that spirits are eternal and living in the spirit world. It takes a medium (Seer or someone with equal gifts) to communicate with them. All Faun can give offerings to please the spirits, and they look for signs to see that the spirits are pleased. A soul is what you call a spirit that has a mortal body. (So when a Faun passes, he becomes a spirit until he's reborn.)

==='''Biological'''===

:Faun are organic and influenced by the environment. Their appearance can alter depending on their surroundings.
:Faun have antlers that are made of living tree branches. Sometimes, those branches will be of a fruit or nut tree, and the produce is edible and healthy.
:Faun are covered in fur, from head to hoof. The closer to the head, however, the finer the fur.
:Faun bleed red, like all Pae'il.
:Faun can die. ((''For RP purposes, you have to clear this with a member of [[Staff]] first, otherwise your Pae is assumed to be in the limbo state in the [[Hall of Lost Souls]]''.))
:Faun, like all Pae'il, have lips, mouths, and noses. They are just not visible on the official cert art.
:Faun have little deer-like tails by default.
:Faun are the shortest of the known Pae'il breeds, and are the heartiest, tending to weigh just a bit more, and the females are a bit more rounded in stature.

==='''Culture'''===

:Faun are rooted in traditions.
:Faun know how to live off the land, and prefer to live that way.
:Faun males take the role of protecting their females, sprouts, and the Tree very seriously.

Only Faun are welcome to live inside Laisidhiel. There are hundreds of nooks available.
:Any Pae can now pledge fealty to the Earth and become a part of their society.
:It is advised for Faun to reside in the Tree, for safety reasons, however, they are free to live where ever they choose.

==='''Tree Life'''===

:Life in the tree is very informal, however, there is a schedule and set protocol for some activities.
:Lunch and Dinner are served in the Great Hall at noon and sundown respectively. All Faun are welcome, and there is plenty of room and food for all.
:The kitchen is closed all other times, but there is a Pub open 24 hours for recreation and partaking of the Faun brews.
:Rais addresses all Faun from his dais when there is important information to be delivered. It is assumed all Faun are present for this or hear word of it.
:Any Faun not born in the Tree may seek out the [[Tree Shaper]], [[Takis]], and have him create a nook for them if none of the available ones are suitable. Faun may also contact him for expanding their nook when their family grows.

==='''Circle Life'''===

Rais is the Chief. He is to be respected and revered as the ultimate authority of all Faun. He has no dominion over other types but is due respect for his position by all Pae'il, even non-Faun.
Rais' Circle refers to the group of Faun entrusted with the responsibility to help lead and teach all Faun.
The [[Inner Circle]] is the five Faun who are closest to the Chief and have the authority to act without direct permission over their assigned duties.
The [[Outer Circle]] is the second level of authority working under the Inner Circle to ensure all Faun are taken care of.
Circle business is conducted behind closed doors, with all Faun on a need-to-know basis.

Typical Jobs
:Gatherers (aid in gathering food)
:Rangers (soldiers)
:Defenders
:Gardeners (tend to the unhatched acorns)
:Harvesters (tend to the acorns that are close to hatching)
:Teachers
:Entertainers
:Cooks
:Tree Tenders (tend to infant faun in the [[Garden]])
:Pathfinders (explorers, cartographers, and spies)

==='''Religious & Moral Views'''===

Faun are very spiritual creatures, revering Laisidhiel as their "Mother" and giver of life. They believe all trees are sacred and spend their lives nurturing their relationship with nature.
They believe in [[Guiding Spirits]], which are nature spirits that will guide them through life, and help them with difficult decisions.
All Faun are children of Laisidhiel, the Tree of Life. Sometimes, special individuals will be called upon by another sacred tree to receive additional blessings. When this happens, there is a ceremony in which that faun offers a sacrifice of a living twig from the chosen tree and their soul becomes forever bonded to the sacred tree. This is also a blessing that can be passed on to their children. Being a part of another sacred tree's clan is a very special honor that not all Faun will experience. It comes with a duty and responsibility unique to each tree.
Reverence for nature is key in Faun culture.
It is considered taboo to speak ill of Faun leadership or those who have passed, and superstition states that whoever spoke ill will be cursed.

==='''Society'''===

Faun is a patriarchal society led by a Chief and his Inner Circle. Leadership is a birthright, with the first-born son inheriting the mantle of Chief upon death of his father. The line of succession will always go to males, and if the chief does not have a male heir, the mantle goes to the Adviser.

When the [[Ancients]] fell in the [[Great War]], Earthmother saved as many acorns as she could, so when Laisidhiel went into defense mode and hid, she could take care of the survivors until they hatched. Faun have been thriving inside the isolated tree for centuries in a self-contained environment. When Telrunya landed in the sea, and the Tree settled beside the island, they were introduced to their homeland for the first time. Despite this being their first glimpse of island life, Faun had a thriving society inside the Tree with everything they required for survival and success.

Inside Laisidhiel is a large banquet hall where all Faun are invited for meal time every day. There is an apartment, or nook, available for any Faun who wishes to live inside the Tree (Living that close to the Tree of Life has it's benefits to Faun health and vitality). It is safe in the Tree and Faun are protected. The [[Boughs]] provide a refuge for those Fauns who seek the outdoors, but still want the safety of the Tree.

Faun enjoy a good brew, and there is a pub inside the Tree where all Faun are welcome.

Women among the Faun society hold the teaching and healing positions while the men do the hunting and heavy work. Women are revered as life-givers, and men are respected as the protectors. It has worked for centuries, and the nature of Faun is to uphold tradition, which shows respect to their ancestors.

Faun are steeped in ritual and superstition. In order to provide protection to those who need to travel from the Tree, a wooden medallion, carved with the likeness of Laisidhiel overlaid by a pentacle and inscribed with the words of protection, "Laisidhiel I am protected by your might/Great Earth Spirit day and night" is given to every child born in the Tree. Adults who find their way to Laisidhiel will be gifted a medallion upon their welcome home.

==='''Marriage Customs'''===

When two Faun prepare to take the next step and be bound with the love of their life and soulmate, one Faun, generally the male, will make a journey to the top of Laisidhiel. This is a spiritual journey as well as a physical one, meant to represent their love and devotion to their future spouse, and the heights to which they would go for them. At the top of the Great Tree, Laisidhiel produces a special white blossom, nurtured by the sunlight. Upon completing his journey to the top of the Tree, the male collects a flower and descends once more. When asking his beloved to spend the rest of her life with him, the Faun presents the flower as a token of his love for her. If she accepts, the female generally wears the flower woven into her hair or branch antlers until the wedding ceremony as a sign that she is now betrothed. Through the magic of Laisidhiel and the bond the Faun share with it, the flower will neither wilt nor die so long as the Faun is faithful and the love is true.

Before the wedding ceremony can take place, the couple must seek the approval of all the elements of their union. To do so, they will both go to the sacred meeting ground to offer their prayers to the spirits. They will light five candles, one for each element, then offer their prayers asking for their blessing. If an element extinguishes the light from their candle, this signals disapproval, and the candle can never be lit again. If the element makes its presence known, but the candle stays lit, they have approved. These candles may then be blown out and collected by the couple, as they will be used again in the marriage ceremony.

The marriage ceremony is presided over by the Faun Chieftain. The actual ceremony is solemn, for the most part, full of ritual and tradition. The couple opens the ceremony by lighting the five candles blessed by the elements. When all five are lit (if any of the elements disapproved previously they will be unable to do this), then the blessing is acknowledged and the ceremony proper may begin. Then, the couple joins hands and a cord is tied around their wrists to symbolize the connection created between the two. At this point, they state their intention to be married, binding their souls together for eternity. After the handfasting, the couple is presented with a ceremonial cup, filled with a drink made from Laisidhiel's dew, which they will share, symbolizing their connection with the Tree.

The ceremony culminates with the final ritual. The couple presents two pieces of wood (carved together before the ceremony), that when fitted together, create a single flute. They take turns playing the flute, replacing traditional vows with what will become their heartsong; the song that represents their love for one another and the union that they have created. At this point, as the last notes fade, their souls are bound to one another and the ceremony is complete.

After the marriage ceremony, the Faun feast and celebrate with food and dancing into the long, late hours of the night...or sometimes the next morning.

==='''The Garden'''===

In ancient times, the special acorns that grew on Laisidhiel's branches would fall to the ground and hatch to reveal a newly born faun. The fall did not injure the unhatched, because faun are sturdy and tough, and the shell provided a lot of protection. Now that the faun have to be careful because the tree is sustained on her own little island, the acorns must be harvested and protected until the time they are called to hatch to prevent drowning.

The faun acorns are harvested and brought to a special Garden located on a unique bough of Laisidhiel crafted lovingly to provide a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment for young sprouts.

First-generation Faun come from an Acorn from Laisidhiel. Even those Faun who know nothing of Telrunya came from Laisidhiel in one way or another. While the island was moving to her new destination in the middle of the sea, some Acorns were scattered in the path. Lost Faun will be returning to the island all the time, finding it difficult to resist the call of the Great Tree.

Second generation faun, born from a male and female will be live-born.

When a same-gender couple wishes to expand their family, all they have to do is seek out the Gardener in the Garden Boughs and they will be led by the Earth Spirits to the special seed that was created just for them.

All Acorns grow from love and are born with the [[spark]] of Earth inside them.

=='''Faun Hybrids'''==

[[Hybrids]] are a mix of two different types of Pae.

''Sometimes, the heart wants what the heart wants.''

Faun embody the Earth element. So when they fall in love with another type of Pae'il, that Earth magic mixes with the other magic to create a unique and special little baby.

Discovered Earth Hybrids:
:Faun + Angel = Light [[Valk]]
:Faun + Demon = Dark [[Valk]]
:Faun + [[Fae]] = [[Flutters]]
:Faun + [[Naiad]] = [[Capricorn]]

Undiscovered Earth Hybrids:
:Faun + [[Miakis]] = ???
:Faun + [[Sila]] = ???
:Faun + [[Dracian]] = ???

=='''Faun Subtypes'''==

When one of Laisidhiel's acorn is planted near or on a [[magic source]], or ley line, it will grow into a tree that produces its own acorns. The acorns that come from these seeds are different types of faun, depending on the magic. The faun that would have come from that acorn should it have been allowed to hatch, is born as its [[Avatar]]. An avatar is connected to the tree physically, spiritually and emotionally. they are the living embodiment of the tree.

===Fauny===

[[Fauny]] come from one of four trees that were lost over a potent pony-related magical source when Laisidhiel was still in the sky.
:Avatars-
::[[Princess Celestia]] - [[Iadhiel]]
::[[Princess Luna]] - [[Ladhiel]]
::[[Prince Feral Heart]] - [[Hravandhiel]]
::[[Princess Cadence]] - [[Miredhiel]]

===Flutters===

[[Flutters]] come from one of two seeds that were lost in a mysterious hurricane that hit the island generations ago. The magic source is the magically saturated and hallowed ground of the Fae Clearing. Due to this, Flutters can either be born of [[Forn Sheedhiel]] or [[Harn Sheedhiel]] for first generation. The second generation are hybrids with fae, so the magic is the same.
:Avatars-
::[[Queen Belwen]] - [[Forn Sheedhiel]]
::[[Queen Alora]] - [[Harn Sheedhiel]]

===Farun===

[[Farun]] come from one of the missing seeds as well, but this one grew beside Silme (sil-may) Pond and is called [[Rochadhiel]]. [[Silme Pond]] is potent moon magic and located on a ley point. [[Sprites]] (a naiad hybrid and subspecies like flutters) also come from the magic waters. Demi-goddess [[Portia]] is the overseer of the area.
:Avatar-
:: ???

===Emberkin===

[[Emberkin]] are tainted faun that come from the tainted fire tree [[Feludhiel]] in [[Dragnid Forest]]. Their origin is the same as Flutters and Farun because the seed that became the tree was one of the lost seeds from the hurricane.
:Avatar
::[[Kerne]]

===Teacup Faunies===

[[Teacup faunies]] are just smaller versions of faunies. They are small because their seeds don't grow to full size. In all ways, they are a faun, with access to faun racials, powers, resources and Laisidhiel.

===Tiny Reindeer===

[[Tiny reindeer]] are smaller versions of faun with antlers like a reindeer. Just like teacup faunies, they are considered regular faun, just smaller in stature.

=Terra Duchy=
[[File:Terra.png|thumb|The Elemental Earth Duchy]] Terra is the Earth Elemental capital of Lucandria. It was set up in a way to help balance the elements and bring a sense of 'Telrunya' to the Miaki's new home in Aynurlet. Though all Miakis, and now Mika, hail Aether as the greatest element, they still understand the need for the balance of the other ones. Here, the Earth Element is on display in the way they speak, build their infrastructure, and every day worship.

==1. General Information==

;Name of the Duchy: Terra
;Ruler’s Name and Title: [[Daeron]], Duke of Terra
;Motto: "Steady as a rock, where greatness is built upon a solid foundation."
;Coat of Arms: A brown bear on its hind legs, standing in front of a green stylized tree and blue sky in the background
;Flag: Two-colored background divided in half, green at the bottom, blue at the top with the brown silhouette of a bear on all fours in the center

==2. Geography==
===Location===
Southern section of [[Lucandria]]

===Cities===
:• '''Terranovia:''' The capital city, known for its grand architecture and extensive gardens. The Duke's home, the Verdant Palace, is located here, closest to the Queen's tower at the center of Lucandria. The homes around the Palace are where the noble elite live, those with the most magical affinity and influence. They possess all the most modern conveniences, from electricity and lights to running water and refrigeration. As one moves further out towards the edges of the city, the homes become a bit simpler; still possessing all the basics for civilized living, but perhaps without all of the same extraneous luxuries. Mika with less magical affinity live in these areas, making up the commoner level of the Terran Mika. Terranovia is home to the royal gardens, which are beautiful gardens open to all city residents displaying the most lovely and picturesque floral displays the duchy has to offer. This is also the location of the Terran Academy, an educational institution specializing in forestry, botany, and earth magic. The university's home is here, however, much of their hands-on research and study is done at the Sylvan Sanctuary further south. Terranovia Museum of Natural History nearby documents both the flora and fauna of the duchy, as well as the history of Terra and Lucandria as a whole.

===Villages and Territories===
:• '''Sylvanus:''' Renowned for its forestry and connection to nature, Sylvanus is home to both the lumber yards as well as the Sylvan Sanctuary south of the village proper. The Sanctuary is a protected location where rare and important species of flora and fauna are raised so that they may thrive and also be studied by academic researchers.
:• '''Florania:''' Florania is famous for its agricultural output and floral beauty. The important duty of providing the rest of Lucandria with most of their grown food supplies falls on their shoulders. In addition to providing the land with nutritious food, they also provide the land with beauty in the form of many rare and colorful flowers, some for decoration, but others with beneficial purposes.
:• '''The Wilds:''' The area of untamed space in the woods and fields of Terra where Mika have not settled to practice their crafts to send back to the capital. This is where the Wildkin are allowed to run free and make their homes where they will. While not necessarily enslaved in other parts of Terra, they are not allowed to own land in the City or Villages and are usually only seen working as servants or manual labor in other locations. They are looked down upon by the Mika, who tend to view them as primitive and lesser.

===Major Land Features===
:• '''Feature'''
:• '''Feature2'''
:• '''Feature3'''

Other Notable Features:

===Climate===
:'''General Climate:''' Mild and temperate, but humid with frequent rains. Breezehaven and Aquilaris ensure that Terra receives the proper weather for their crops, sending either sun or rain towards the areas that need it most.
:'''Seasons:''' Artificially controlled by Breezehaven to simulate warm and wet summers, then mild and slightly drier winters.

Strength
Terran Mika are naturally physically stronger than their form might imply. Not enough to perform crazy supernatural feats like lifting mountains or houses, but more that they have a natural strength that makes simple lifting, carrying, and certain fieldwork easier than one might think for such lithe, delicate looking beings.
Green Thumb
Terran Mika also have a natural affinity for growing plants and flowers. Even if the soil conditions are not ideal, somehow they can manage to coax beautiful blossoms and bountiful harvests from the soil, given the barest of necessary resources.

=Terra Duchy=
[[File:Terra.png|thumb|The Elemental Earth Duchy]] Terra is the Earth Elemental capital of Lucandria. It was set up in a way to help balance the elements and bring a sense of 'Telrunya' to the Miaki's new home in Aynurlet. Though all Miakis, and now Mika, hail Aether as the greatest element, they still understand the need for the balance of the other ones. Here, the Earth Element is on display in the way they speak, build their infrastructure, and every day worship.

==1. General Information==

;Name of the Duchy: Terra
;Ruler’s Name and Title: [[Daeron]], Duke of Terra
;Motto: "Steady as a rock, where greatness is built upon a solid foundation."
;Coat of Arms: A brown bear on its hind legs, standing in front of a green stylized tree and blue sky in the background
;Flag: Two-colored background divided in half, green at the bottom, blue at the top with the brown silhouette of a bear on all fours in the center

==2. Geography==
===Location===
Southern section of [[Lucandria]]

===Cities===
:• '''Terranovia:''' The capital city, known for its grand architecture and extensive gardens. The Duke's home, the Verdant Palace, is located here, closest to the Queen's tower at the center of Lucandria. The homes around the Palace are where the noble elite live, those with the most magical affinity and influence. They possess all the most modern conveniences, from electricity and lights to running water and refrigeration. As one moves further out towards the edges of the city, the homes become a bit simpler; still possessing all the basics for civilized living, but perhaps without all of the same extraneous luxuries. Mika with less magical affinity live in these areas, making up the commoner level of the Terran Mika. Terranovia is home to the royal gardens, which are beautiful gardens open to all city residents displaying the most lovely and picturesque floral displays the duchy has to offer. This is also the location of the Terran Academy, an educational institution specializing in forestry, botany, and earth magic. The university's home is here, however, much of their hands-on research and study is done at the Sylvan Sanctuary further south. Terranovia Museum of Natural History nearby documents both the flora and fauna of the duchy, as well as the history of Terra and Lucandria as a whole.

===Villages and Territories===
:• '''Sylvanus:''' Renowned for its forestry and connection to nature, Sylvanus is home to both the lumber yards as well as the Sylvan Sanctuary south of the village proper. The Sanctuary is a protected location where rare and important species of flora and fauna are raised so that they may thrive and also be studied by academic researchers.
:• '''Florania:''' Florania is famous for its agricultural output and floral beauty. The important duty of providing the rest of Lucandria with most of their grown food supplies falls on their shoulders. In addition to providing the land with nutritious food, they also provide the land with beauty in the form of many rare and colorful flowers, some for decoration, but others with beneficial purposes.
:• '''The Wilds:''' The area of untamed space in the woods and fields of Terra where Mika have not settled to practice their crafts to send back to the capital. This is where the Wildkin are allowed to run free and make their homes where they will. While not necessarily enslaved in other parts of Terra, they are not allowed to own land in the City or Villages and are usually only seen working as servants or manual labor in other locations. They are looked down upon by the Mika, who tend to view them as primitive and lesser.

===Major Land Features===
:• '''Feature'''
:• '''Feature2'''
:• '''Feature3'''
:• '''Feature4'''

Landscape:
Mountains: None

Rivers/Lakes: Gaian River flowing into Lake Tierra, formed by the Tierran Dam
Coastline: Gaian Riverbanks and the shore surrounding Lake Tierra
Plains/Farmlands: Fertile plains ideal for agriculture
Other Notable Features:

===Climate===
:'''General Climate:''' Mild and temperate, but humid with frequent rains. Breezehaven and Aquilaris ensure that Terra receives the proper weather for their crops, sending either sun or rain towards the areas that need it most.
:'''Seasons:''' Artificially controlled by Breezehaven to simulate warm and wet summers, then mild and slightly drier winters.

Not enough to perform crazy supernatural feats like lifting mountains or houses, but more that they have a natural strength that makes simple lifting, carrying, and certain fieldwork easier than one might think for such lithe, delicate looking beings.
Green Thumb
Terran Mika also have a natural affinity for growing plants and flowers. Even if the soil conditions are not ideal, somehow they can manage to coax beautiful blossoms and bountiful harvests from the soil, given the barest of necessary resources.
