Tales Of Terren

Hail and Zealous Greetings! Welcome to Tales of Terren, a side blog of mine devoted to posting about my worldbuilding project, Terren!

What kind of setting is Terren?

- Terren is a high fantasy setting with a soft magic system! It is loosely inspired by cultures of ancient america, but you can also find elves, dwarves, and many other eastern mythologies and influences!

- Terren has a high emphasis on Immortals' interaction with Mortals. An example of this is in the magic system being mainly based around gifts from Immortals in the form of physical objects, such as a sword that glows like the sun on command.

- I have also commited myself to making Terren feel unique from your typical fantasy setting, in terms of creatures, cultures, and story in general.

Why do I care about this project?

- Are you tired of big animation companies making slop after slop with little to no impact or moral value? Stories that exist just to make a simple dollar, rather than stories that can make you feel something? So am I. I feel like there are many people who have forgotten this, but the best stories have always been the ones with a moral to be learned. A story can be a powerful thing, and it can genuinly make a difference in someone's life, even if it's as simple a story as the itsy bitsy spider.

So, welcome to Terren! I hope you enjoy your stay :3

Here are a few conceptual sketches for how the people of Terren depict Dragons (or Tannin as they are also known)

Long ago, the world of Terren was a vast, tumultuous ocean ruled by the Mother Dragon and her spawn. The elder Angels and Fae went to battle against this beast, and with her death the world of Terren came to be.

Dragons, or Tannin as they are also known, still rule as apex predators in nearly every ecosystem, but not to the same extent as they did before.

The dragons of Terren are a bit different in terms of design than your typical dragons of western or eastern cultures. Their design is inspired by Archosaurs such as alligators or crocodiles, as well as prehistoric Archosaurs. Some dragons are instead based on serpents bearing wings. All have feathers, often like a peacocks.

Many are amphibious, though there are plentiful species of land dragons and flying dragons to be found throughout the world.

Culturally, dragons are often associated with death and infernals. Dragon feathers are also a common symbol of royalty, wisdom, or strength.
