Name: The Tero Family.

Type: Religious Semi-Militant organization which is pc and npc.

Purpose: To spread the word and ways of Aelius the way he truly is throughout the world, through the means of example and wisdom.

History:

By Aelius everything written in this text is the truth and nothing but the truth as far as we know it! If not let Aelius strike me down.

The history of the Tero family, history has the word story in it, a story from before, thus I will tell you the story of the Tero family. The story of the Tero family is long and, for those who do not have the privilege of truth this book grants, shrouded in the mists of rumor and myth.

The Tero family finds its roots in the founding of this world, ever since the moment people started writing about what happened

Location:
All praise be Aelius. The creator of this world and good father of all creations, foolish be those that blame him for the apocalyptic events that happened so long ago! This text is hung over the entrance to the signature building of Shian. The monastery of the Tero family. From the outside it looks a bit dark, the architecture was threatning, yet welcoming a very unusual combination.


The Tero family decided to separate themselves to avoid corruption and to allow their children a better chance at preparing them for the corrupt and decadent world they would have to live in. The purpose in the life of a Tero family member is to achieve purity and perfection in body and mind.

A true follower of Aelius the benevolent deity of the sun who shines upon us! Since his first years in this realm his faith is strong and his wisdom impressive. Like all Tero, Sampo was educated within the family house to be a follower of Aelius, being Archaic Aelists they followed some substandard methods of achieving oneness with Aelius. Through mental and physical practice one cleans ones mind of corruption which is ever present in todays society as it was before the apocalypse. Many think unknowingly that Aelius caused it but the Tero family knew better, it was indeed human decadency and corruption that caused the apocalypse. So in an effort to avoid repeating of history they bought a house in the newly established human goverment, which looks more like a small castle than a house, in which they secluded themselves from society in this "Monastery" until they reached adulthood at the age of 22. At the age of adulthood a great feast is held in which the new adult may not participate. He must watch but he cannot join, this is a test to see if the prospect is ready for life outside the "Monastery". Once there the main goal of all Tero family members is to convert by example. The Tero family is a family of blood related monks and some outsiders who got in after passing the five tests of Tero. Basically there are four roles in the Tero family.

Ranks:
- The role of leader, which means you live your life with the monastery as your house and you will get married, many get this goal after they felt that the life on the road wasn't theirs anymore. Your tasks are to keep the house running and make the big decisions, there are ten leaders at all time excluding the family head who has the right of veto over everything, but this right is almost in disuse. The family head is the oldest male family member and his is the leader amongst the leaders.
- The role of wanderer, which means you live your life on the road without the right of property beyond what you took from the monastery and your basic needs, you act as an example in society and always wear the trademark orange gown. Most family members get this role and the most losses in family members are suffered in this role, be it to the tempting world or to the weapons and/or claws of the various dangers out there.
- The role of teacher, which means you live you life in the monastery after you were a wanderer and pass on your knowledge to the next generation, this role is predominated by the women, most of which are not fit for a life on the road.
- The role of student, which means you are under twenty two and so have to listen to all other brothers and sisters to learn humbleness and study hard to become wise.
