Editing Terras (section)

== Background and Policies ==
The Terras faction is a new political faction formed by ‘[[Eldavin]]’ together with [[Valeterisa]].<ref name=": 8.06 RT">[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/02/10/8-06-rt/ Chapter 8.06 RT]</ref>

The faction name (which supposedly has [[Teriarch|''no relation to anyone’s name'']]), was ostensibly one based around the old name of Earth; '''Terra'''. Also, of the word in the old language; ''Earth'' / ''Grounded''. A name which is sensible and pragmatic, as it spoke to the new world now entering [[Innworld|this one]].<ref name=": 8.06 RT" />

Their symbol, which is a message for the future, looks like a Venn diagram from afar, but if looked from closer, they aren’t of two circles, but two worlds, overlapping.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/03/15/8-72/ Chapter 8.72]</ref>

Eldavin is willing to ‘steal’ members of other factions (even if some would be spies), as many would come for what he offered. The goal was to have a voice in Wistram’s decisions, make allies, and ‘get’ [[Earthers]]. But unbeknownst to others, those goals were to rise the faction to the level upon which it could carefully and in a ''subtle'' way, effect change within Wistram for the rest of the world's benefit.<ref name=": 8.06 RT" />

The Terras faction under Eldavin quickly went from no council seats to holding a majority<ref name=":0">[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/09/22/8-43/ Chapter 8.43]</ref> which allows them to make many decisions in Wistram without dealing with other faction's politics.
