Terrac'oko

Terrac'oko is the god of Earth, Agriculture, and Fertility.  He is the embodiment of earth within the Cardinals as described by the Church of the Seven.  His titles include: “The Seed”, “Guardian of the Ground”, “Harold of Harvest”.

The priest of Terrac'oko recite the stories of how he was a diligent farmer who molded the hearts and minds of those who followed him under House Udaku. When Udaku arrived in the Heartlands of Halruaal, the beasts of the jungle regions were plenty, extremely hostile, and resistant to normal and magical means of domestication. With a wave of his staff, he dominated the landscape and turned the savage beast into creatures of burden for the early settlers. Few were actually able to resist his charms, and Terrac'oko had many lovers and followers. He was one the major reason for bringing all of Halruaal under leadership of House Udaku, capable of even charming the Great Undead one, Alphleatay.

 

The Church’s depiction of Terrac'oko is a muscly, dark-skinned human wearing a loincloth and carrying a quarterstaff in his left hand with a sickle in his right. He is bald with golden eyes and solemn smile. Physically and in the dreams of his followers he appears similarly to the Church’s depiction. Those that are in his presence are filled with a mixture of love and lustful urging that extends for those around them.

The Clergy of Terrac'oko count themselves as farmers, mediator, advisors, and in certain locations, sex workers. Each take pride in their work and move to see the cycle of life continue. His temples exist everywhere in the country (not only in the Church of the Seven) and a shrine or statute can be found in every red light district in a major city.

Tenets of Faith

1. Honesty. Don't lie or cheat. Let your word be your promise.

2. Compassion. Aid others, protect the weak, and punish those who threaten them. Show mercy to your foes, but temper it with wisdom.

3. Patience. Change takes time. Those who have walked the path of the wicked must be given reminders to keep them honest and true. Once you have planted the seed of righteousness in a creature, you must work day after day to allow that seed to survive and flourish.

4. Wisdom. Your heart and mind must stay clear, for eventually you will be forced to admit defeat. While every creature can be redeemed, some are so far along the path of evil that you have no choice but to end their lives for the greater good. Any such action must be carefully weighed and the consequences fully understood, but once you have made the decision, follow through with it knowing your path is just.
