The Terland Family are one of the Five Families of Izril.
Overview[edit | edit source]
The Terlands settled their lands very successfully and kept to highly-developed mage-towns and spell-castles. Their latest generations are apparently less ambitions and are resting on the laurels of their ancestors.[1] They're well known for using Golems, entrusting any work they can to them,[2] and providing those that clean First Landing. Most of the books their family reads have to do with golems. The budget for golem-making has been limited to those that can at least craft a basic golem.[3] Family members are allotted personal golems, referred to as Retainer Golems, which are treated similar to heirlooms.[4]
The Terland family was also famous for their vampire-slaying.[5]
The Family owns the "Banner of Terland", likely a powerful artifact.[6]
Dealing with riots "Terland-style" means sending out War Golems to crush the rioters. That implies they did so at least once.[7]
Like how some magical bloodlines or even nations had their unique hair-color, House Terland had inherited a pigmentation of their own. Not to their skin, but to their fingernails and teeth, which have just the faintest green tinge to both, like a natural dye, or painted fingernails.[8]
Military Strength[edit | edit source]
Terland forces are based around their war golems. Their non-golem forces are primarily viewed as support for those golems. Automata Controller is an officer rank equivalant to [Major] that leads their mixed forces.[9] These Controllers can fight by riding inside of a war golem.[10]
History[edit | edit source]
The Terland family are one of the Five Families that came from Terandria—fleeing from Terandria, to be exact[6] and together with them are the first humans to ever settle on Izril.
The Terland twins, Petria and Ulva, were defeated by the Goblin King Velan.[11] Petria was killed by him personally, and Ulva was broken by the experience.[1]
Chronology[edit | edit source]
Ther Terland family sent military support to Tyrion Veltras when he asked for some to fight the Goblin Lord Reiss: Six thousand [Riders] with at least 1500 of them [Knights].[12]
The Terland family recently filled Wistram's scrying orb shows with the scandalous affair of [Lord] Bein trying to marry [Lady] Delia Zolde out of love after he had proposed to the wealthy [Dowager]/[Lady] Hetessana Wellfar for a long time.[13][1]
