Terris was a state of Scadrial populated by Feruchemists before the Ascension of the Lord Ruler.[1]
History
When Alendi came to Terris to stop the Deepness from consuming the world, they took him up into the mountainous regions to seek the Well of Ascension.[2] When they arrived, Rashek betrayed and killed Alendi and took the power of the Well for himself.[3] After realising that his Ascension had ruined the world, he set himself up as the protector of humanity, beginning the time of the Final Empire.[citation needed]
Realmatic theory was part of the ancient Terris religion.[4]
The Terris term for Preservation was "Terr" as it meant "to preserve" in their language.[5]
Final Empire
In the Final Empire, the remaining Terris people were selectively bred to reduce the Feruchemical abilities. A portion of the eunuch population was trained and employed as stewards. Stewards held an unusual place in the final empire, and were given the title 'Vaht'.[6]
After the Collapse
After the fall of the Lord Ruler, the Synod revealed themselves and started leading their people back into the ways before the Final Empire.[7]
Genocide
After Ruin was released, he took control of the Steel Inquisitors and the Koloss. He sent some Inquisitors to the newly free Terris and slaughtered the Feruchemists.[8][9] The remaining people fled the mountains and headed towards the central dominance, away from the deadly mists. They settled at the Pits of Hathsin.
Post-Catacendre
One-fifth of the Originators were Terris.
With the Lord Ruler's Terris breeding program and laws against intermarriage ended, the Terris are no longer an entirely isolated population in post-Catacendre Scadrial. Feruchemical and Allomantic genes have combined to allow for Twinborn who have both Allomancy and Feruchemy.
However, many Terris still maintain a culture of their own distinct from the majority society of the Basin. The Village is a major Terris enclave in Elendel. [10]
