Race Lore – The Humans
Good Afternoon, TERA Fans! This evening, we'll be sharing a very interesting translation, specifically if you appreciate lore! While the official English TERA site has a bit of information on the history of Arborea and its inhabitants, the official Korean website provides much more insight.
Every night this week, we'll be presenting a new translation from the race information pages of the official Korean site. Tonight, I'm proud to present the history of the determined and prosperous Humans of Arborea! Enjoy!
History of the Humans
For 2000 years, humans had to endure the Diaspora. To recover what they had lost in those 2000 years, they established themselves in an area of Arborea that was torn by a war of deities. The humans are upright, have good physical shape, and are full of confidence. However, no one believes humans will be the leading race of Arborea.
Humans have built the city of Velika which is now considered the center of civilization. They have driven away various monsters and creatures in Arborea to bring about peace, and created the Valkion Coalition, an alliance of advanced civilizations in Arborea.
Curse of Diaspora
The ancestors of the humans were jealous of their creators’ powers, and stole some possessions from the last of the creators, Gheed. Afterwards, Gheed found out who stole his precious possessions and killed them, but he did not stop there. He also put a curse on the whole human race, which spread throughout the land for 2000 years. The fact that humans have started to gather and civilize is only recent history.
Creation of The Valkion Coalition
The Valkion Coalition was created to prevent destruction caused by deities and to keep foreign races out. Its members are the civilized races in Arborea. This Valkion Alliance was created when it was suggested by Kiyon, who was one of the creators of Velika. To this day, this national alliance prevents foreign races from attacking the civilized races in Arborea.
What other races think of Humans
“Even though humans are disrespectful and lack wisdom, they do communicate well.”
“I think highly of their willpower. When others have given up on something, they are still at it. Though, I think it’s sad that they aren’t the honest bunch and like to sit and talk instead of act.”
“Those filthy things are inferior to elves… even if they look like they care, all they think about is taking care of themselves. Its obvious they are jealous of us.”
“Humans? Yeah its great that they’re active and all, but they take everything for granted. Its too bad they use that activity to destroy nature.”
“Humans are great. They’ve done incredible things in such a short period of time, even though from our point of view they seem too eager to do things. But wouldn’t that be their advantage? We just hope that they look at the big picture and work with it."
Though I'd read before that the land of Arborea was war-torn, this article gives at least one catastrophe a name, The Dispora. It appears the Humans brought this upon themselves due to foolish actions, but came out of it victorious. This certainly characterizes them as very hardy and possibly as having the strength of gods.
This is the first time I have seen a deity mentioned in TERA lore as well, do you think all races worship the same creators? Do you think the creators play an active role in quests and dungeons?
Do you think the Valkion Coalition could have to do with the political systems we've been promised we'll see?
