Political System Information Discussed at Gamescom

Hello, TERA Fans! Via a video posted by TERA Fans member and GlimpseDog corespondent, Nicodemus1, some long awaited information about TERA's political system has been revealed and it's super interesting!

Please keep in mind that all of the information found in this article and the video are subject to change as the game develops. All of the information comes from a hands on video found here:



According to the video, the political system is broken up into two different parts at this time, Lordship and Kingship.

  • Lordship

    - The world of TERA is broken up into regions. Each region in the game will be able to elect a Lord.

    - To elect a lord, citizens will be able to vote. Right now, a citizen is simply a player located within the region where the election is happening.

    - Lords will also be able to be elected via PvP.

    - No word on what a Lord's job is.


  • Kingship

    - Each city in TERA will be able to elect a King.

    - Lords can apply for Kingship and be elected.

    - Currently, Kings cannot be chosen via PvP.

    - In-game, Kings are called Valiks. (I think? The man's accent is very heavy.)

    - Kings have control over taxes and they will be able to choose the balance of how monsters spawn in the world. For example, if the King chooses to have less monsters spawn in the lower level areas of the world, more will have to spawn in the higher level areas. This means that the King will have to be very in touch with the community.

    - There will be periodic re-elections.


Woah! This sounds pretty amazing! What do you think, TERA Fans?
