Terria is a region in the fanworld, comprising of a large mainland, and several islands around it. Terria is located towards the equator, surrounded by ocean.
Etymology and Design concept[]
The name 'Terria' derives from the word 'Terra', meaning "earth or land", referencing Zentriax, the rock-type legendary who created the region.
The mainland (and Denzoku Island) are based on the Japanese region, Chubu. Arkeridas Island isn't based on anything, simply designed by PhotonCommander10. Mount Zentriax is based on Mt Fuji, which itself is in the Chubu region.
History[]
A map of Terria
Thousands of years ago, Dialga and Palkia came across a massive ocean and used it to create two sets of legendaries, the Zoku Duo and the Guardian Legend Trio. The Guardian Legends created the Terria region together, each playing their own part in the formation of the land.
Along with this, the mighty Arkeridas created a large number of new Pokemon species, then ordered Zentriax, the rock legendary, to create stone paths, to allow Pokemon from other regions to enter Terria. The stone paths shifted, allowing Pokemon to reach Terria in minutes, rather than the months it would take to walk it. Zentriax also created links between Benya and other regions, as the trio had helped in the creation of the islands.
Once humans began to colonise the region, the legendaries chose to go into hibernation, creating cubes that upon entering the respective temple, would summon the scattered essence of the legendary belonging to that temple. The trio each chose a human to be entrusted with their cube. Two boys and a girl, all three friends with Pokemon. They hid the cubes away, so that the Guardian Legends would remain safe until a time when they are needed. The trio used their power to tear apart their physical form, becoming mere energy, which fused with the stone walls.
