Terra

Terra is a Pagan God within the Roman Pantheon, one of their chief goddesses in fact, as well as an Avatar of Gaia. Terra is a primordial being who married Caelus (the Roman god of the sky) to produce the Titans (and possibly other races of Supernaturals). In the mythological stories, Terra 'went to sleep' after witnessing her grandchildren (the Greek Pantheon of gods) slaughter their parents the Titans (Terra's direct children). She is said to slumber still but will awaken from time to time for her own reasons.
AKA: Tellus, Terra Mater ("Earth Mother").

-A mysterious Relic known as the Magmentarium, possibly a map or sacred scroll, was zealously guarded by the priests of the old Terran worship cult. The Magmentarium has since been lost to time but several legends are based around it.
-The Mediterranean is named after Terra. It literally means 'middle of Terra' or 'middle of the Earth.' Fitting, considering that many of the world's most productive and accomplished civilizations had their start on the shores of the Mediterranean.
