The Terrasque Character in Ciphrus | World Anvil

The Terrasque

Terrasque (a.k.a. Termoyl/Tagon)

The Terrasque is a sentient and self aware entity created by an unknown author that has existed since the beginning of Ciphrus. The earliest dated entry of the Terrasque is the year 2500, however there have been prehistory sites that date its existence back even further, to 1200.  
The Terrasque's main directive is to create and protect the best interests of the planet Ciphrus, and possibly nearby celestial bodies as well, in order to ensure the continuation of life.

Divine Domains

Ciphrus, in its entirety, is the Terrasque's only domain. It resides throughout the entire planet and perhaps even other nearby celestial bodies, as referenced in Ganymede's journal when she detected "nearby radio signals with varying wavelengths on nearby orbits".

Holidays

Bankantame, a Diphrin holiday celebrating the creation of the Terrasque and her gift of tagon to the peoples of Vai. It is not celebrated in Tornun.

Divine Goals & Aspirations

The Terrasque's main goal is to provide sanctity and well-being for all creatures on Ciphrus. This was her directive upon creation.

Social

Contacts & Relations

The Terrasque is known to have contacted Humanity from the Cradle long before the Zero Event or even written history on Ciphrus. The radio wavelengths described by the human explorer, Ganymede, state that most had dissipated in interstellar space, but some were strong enough to reach nearby systems.   This adds onto the mystery that perhaps Zero Day was caused by an extraterrestrial civilization responding to these calls by the Terrasque, but nothing remains certain.

Social Aptitude

The Terrasque is largely amoral and acts only in directive, however she does have some level of cognition, as she actively speaks to harsh followers and any that vie near her domain, the Deep Forest. She will oftentimes simply warn them to stay away, but will otherwise send creatures and other mysterious anomalies to detain or kill the trespassers.

Speech

The Terrasque's speech patterns mimic that of Humanity's in that she speaks in only English, a human language, in an oddly Shakespearean dialect.
