Terrus, Primordial of Earth
Earthfather Terrus
Perfect in shape and majesty, the unmarred stone of his body was a stalwart challenge to the turmoil of the Void, and Chaos feared and hated noble Terrus most out of the Primordials. So much more evil, then, was his fall, and so much more necessary it is to restore that fallen giant to glory, and awaken him from his long sleep.

Personal history
Like the other Primordials, Terrus was born from the first rays of Luminous magick that poured into the Void. With the aid of his fellow Primordials, he shaped order from the twisting chaos that once permeated every corner of the Universe. Upon the world of Deia, however, Terrus was pushed by Chaos to attack his fellow Primordials, and killed Aqua, the Primordial of water, in the process. Soon after, Pyrrus, the Primordial of fire and lover to Aqua, attacked Terrus and struck him down, losing his own life in the process. Terrus, over many centuries, however, regained some consciousness in his ruined form, and has dreamed deeply ever since, slowly regaining power and waking from sleep. He has drawn some mortals to him, and reveals to them deep secrets of the Universe. With his followers, he hopes to find some worthy spirits to bestow great power upon, with whom he will rise up again, and travel the empty spaces of the Universe once more, to bring order to Chaos.
