Terra (Kosmos)

Terra is the Chosen World of Jovan where he and Asarea seeded Humanity first. Mikal and Ava, the first Humans created after the image of the Divine Parents, were tasked with populating Terra. They were blessed with long lives and a highly complex Genome encoded with every Human variation and trait.

Mikal and Ava lived for over ten thousand years, begetting over one hundred thousand children. Their descendants multiplied across ages, giving rise to the countless millions who would spread into every land and later populate the stars.

After Terra was sufficiently filled, Jovan transplanted righteous couples to other planets such as Ares, Astraeus, Promethis, Sentari, Xus, and Beedleguis. Each new world was populated by seed from Terra, making the Chosen World the cradle of all Humanity within Kosmos.

History

First Age: Creation and Population

The first age began with the lives of Mikal and Ava, who established the foundations of Humanity. Their descendants spread across the continents of Kolumba, Urosea, Belnea, and Ostrea, building early cities and kingdoms.

Second Age: Dispersion

After Terra grew abundant, Jovan chose righteous couples to transplant to the other sacred planets, forming the Aresite, Promethite, Sentarite, Xusite, Beedleguisite, and other Kosmic lineages. All *-ite* peoples trace their lineage back to Terra.

Third Age: Judgment and Covenant

Terra bore witness to great judgments and divine interventions:

• Sodum and Gonarea were destroyed for their iniquities.
• Builders of the Babea Tower saw their languages confounded, and the Alderite were transformed into the other races.
• The covenant of righteousness was established, binding Terra as the measure of all worlds.

Fourth Age: Salvation

Jovanah, the Savior, was born upon Terra. His ministry, sacrifice at the hands of the Abrinite cultists, and subsequent resurrection became the central covenant of Kosmos. Terra was forever sanctified by his life and death.

Later Ages

In the ages following Jovanah’s ascension, Terra entered cycles of empire, diaspora, and prophecy:

• The Great Dispersal, when millions migrated through divine conduits to distant worlds.
• The War of the Thrones, where kings and prophets struggled for dominion over Kolumba and Urosea.
• The Age of Returning, when prophets foretold that all *-ite* peoples must one day gather again upon Terra before the Judgement Day (Kosmos).
• The current era, marked by interstellar pilgrimages and ongoing disputes over Kolumba, the prophesied Promise Land.

Geography

Kolumba, Promise Land

Kolumba is the Promise Land destined for the most righteous of Mikal and Ava’s descendants. Its lands are fertile, its mountains sacred, and its rivers said to sing with the voice of Asarea.

Urosea

Urosea is the largest continent, a vast realm of kingdoms, empires, and philosophies. It is the seat of ancient Alderite towers and the birthplace of many world-shaping wars.

Belnea

Belnea is the great continent of the Belnirite who possess Ashen Skin, a divine adaptation to protect against the harsh sun of Belnea’s deserts and Savannah. Its lands are famed for mineral wealth and ancient astronomy.

Ostrea

Ostrea is the forgotten land, isolated and mysterious. It is home to strange creatures such as the Saurian and Marsupial species. Many prophecies speak of Ostrea as a land of secrets awaiting rediscovery.

Culture and Legacy

Every Human race traces its origin to Terra.

• Language: The primordial tongue was shattered during the Babea Tower event, birthing the multitude of Kosmic languages.
• Religion: All faiths honor Terra as the birthplace of Jovanah and the site of countless covenants.
• Legacy: Pilgrimage to Terra is considered the highest rite, with the most righteous destined to inherit Kolumba.
• Symbolism: Terra is called “The Cradle and the Sepulcher”—the place of Humanity’s birth and the site of Jovanah’s sacrifice.

Trivia

• Belnirite “ashen skin” is a divine genetic trait, not pigmentation, encoded by Jovan himself.
• Prophets claim to hear Asarea’s voice in the rivers of Kolumba.
• The Saurians of Ostrea are believed to be remnants of ancient pre-human creations.
• Terra is prophesied to be the gathering place of all *-ite* peoples before the final Judgement Day (Kosmos).
