## Terra

Terra, being the biggest religion in the country, is also the most practiced. The religion stems from the planets, specifically Terra. The followers of this religion think that Terra was itself a god, being the creator of life after crashing into earth and forming with it.

Terra as a god is not one deity, but two. The first being Earis, god of the over world and life. this is what Terra is mostly conceptualized as. The second being Aena, goddess of the end of the world and darkness.

##### Creation Myth

Aena and Earis were married in the void of space before creating the earth. Earis and Aena had multiple children throughout the early days of the world before a tragedy struck Aena. She was unable to bear their 16th child, Ises, due to a curse that crossed the entire world making living things stop growing. Aena was outraged and devastated at the loss of her child to the point of destroying the earth and the city of Gracein entirely (Which in the modern day is in ruins). In order to stop her, Earis and his 15 other children locked her inside of a mountain in ice to freeze her and stop the havoc she made. At the end of the world, Aena is supposed to rise up and destory everything and killing every god, leaving two creatures behind and her 16th son Ises as the new god to start the world again

##### Cult of Frenzy

Frenzy, a minor god, created a cult centered around Aena. This cult is currently trying to excavate Aena out of the mountain and cause the end of the world.

G.O.V members mostly have a practice known as Shifting.

## Children of Cedallm

## Krethism

Krethism is one of the more big sub-religions. They worship every god in Terrasha but believe that Meyusus should have become head god and succeeded Earis. These people most likely are outcasts to society and normally have a wooden pendant with a carving of Meyusus's incantation when he was banished down to Krethor.

Incantation: "*It shall be on the day that the ground turns liquid, a betrayal shall usher in the rise of Malice"*

## Oracles of Divines

Oracles of divines is the second religion in Terra. Divines worship the creatures and monsters found around Terra. These people are the majority of people who do not follow Terrasha and mostly live in fear of these monsters. Divines are known of be in power and restrict laws against creatures in fear that they may destroy the world. A small majority of Divines are known to go hunting these creatures and become bounty hunters due to this.
