Ters (Culture)

Ters is a human culture in the region of Erizia and Isyde. They speak Teric. It society runs on a Niondom which is a three ruler system in which three Nionsare handed down from their fathers. They each confer on what is best for the realm. This power can often be one sided as a Nion gains favor of the people or the military. Often Nions will side with one another to defeat an overulling Nion which of course leads to civil war.

The Ters culture is based around the religion of Oslan which is a bi-theistic belief created by a man named Maien who promised if you worhip Shra and Halan then you will go to heaven. Three books were written Clhac which is the accounts of Maien and his visions with Halan and Shra. The second is the Dislan which are the rules given to Maien from Halan and Shra, the thrid is the Olo which is a set of older prophets scriptures. Their place of worship is a ranza which holds daily prayers and weddings. A cleric of Oslan is called a Sha', he performs the prayers and wedding ceremonies.

Ters culture is based around trade, war, and religion. Their trades include weapons, foods, spices, slaves, slave soldiers (Hijjand) and weapons. Most of the men in Ters culture know how to fight and the women have been known to become excellent assassins. Ters culture also allows polygamy after a Nion removed that rule from the Dislan. Powerful women have sometimes taken more than one man.

A duel often occurs.
