Terrus (Continent)

"'Renaut was a fool, he had the world in his palm, yet he did not act. I will not make the same mistake, and I will not stop until the world runs red with the blood of my enemies and flies red with the winds on my banners.'""Emperor Titus I, the Conqueror" Terrus, also known as Tella, Teromana, and Terra is the oldest of the continents that dot the world, home to decrepit fortresses, a variety of mountain and plain-lands, and weak, quarreling nations fighting over the remains of Titus's thousand-year Empire. Terrus is speculated as the origin continent of humanity, and the most untouched and unaltered continent after the Untold Eras, thus, it's climate reflects on the early and near inhospitable terrain from the early world. The further south one ventures into Terrus, the more abnormal the terrain becomes, with oceans of gravel, heavy winds and blistering heat, all of which also plays into it's defensive capabilities, but also toward it's detriment.

Terrus is the only continent which has access further south into the world, but due to his inhospitable terrain, much of the southern end of not only Terrus, but whatever continents lie south of the equator, remains a mystery. Ships that travel too far south, regardless of location on the world, rarely reappear, and those that do tell tales of ancient horrors. This, however has not dissuaded many of the Terans, and the infamous Third Legion recruits their greatest warriors from the nomads of the gravel deserts.

Terrus is home to the second oldest empire in the world, Titus's Empire, or better known as the successors of Titus's Empire as little remains of this once great, ten thousand year old nation. Suffering after the death of Titus XXI in the late Second Era, aswell as mutiny and treason from their legions the Empire has been fractured ever since, still remaining out of tradition, but only the name remains. For the next ten thousand years, Terrus would suffer infighting and kingdoms would rise and fall weekly, all with a promise to restore the Empire, but failing to demonstrate even the primary edicts emplaced by Titus.

seperation of legions - legions all seperate and form their own kingdom, unique to their legion's doctrines
