Editing Terland Family

The '''Terland Family''' are one of the [[Five Families]] of [[Izril]].

== Overview ==
The Terlands settled their lands very successfully and kept to highly-developed mage-towns and spell-castles. Their latest generations are apparently less ambitious and are resting on the laurels of their ancestors.<ref name="7.18M" /> They're well known for using [[Golems]], entrusting any work they can to them,<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/10/21/9-62/ Chapter 9.62]</ref> 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.<ref name=":1">[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/09/04/9-13/ Chapter 9.13]</ref> They assign names and personalities to their golems, and family members are allotted personal golems, referred to as Retainer Golems, which are treated similar to heirlooms.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/04/12/9-41-pt-2/ Chapter 9.41 (Pt. 2)]</ref> The oldest and most powerful golems of the family, considered stronger than Named-ranks, are called the Originals.<ref name=":0" />

The Family owns the "Banner of Terland", likely a powerful artifact.<ref name="4.26M">[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/04/07/4-26-m/ Chapter 4.26 M]</ref>

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.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/05/02/8-20/ Chapter 8.20]</ref>

The Terland family is the richest of the five families. Recently, it has replaced its gold with a new [[currency]]: the Terland Tithel.<ref name=":0" />

=== Hierarchy ===
The Terland family members have an internal ranking:<ref name=":0">{{VERef|10.23 LMGY}}</ref>

* Lord/Lady of Creation
** Head of the Family
* Lord/Lady of Hearts
** Higher ranked members. Able to command the oldest golems of the House and claim some for their personal use, including those of Sentient-class.
* Lord/Lady of Function
* Lord/Lady of Stones

=== Military Strength ===
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.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/10/15/9-60/ Chapter 9.60]</ref> Controllers fight via riding inside of a war golem.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/11/22/9-66/ Chapter 9.66]</ref>
