Seria says: "Nothing should be as mysterious as I am!"
Some info is missing, please help to provide it if you can. |
The Terra Cotta is one of the five original magical factions that participated in the First Pandemonium Assembly to procure the Water of Life. It is the oldest faction in Pandemonium, rumored to have been created as a Bakal Resistance force by Keening Hilder during the time of the Dragon War. They are a group comprised of powerful elementalists who are capable of manipulating the forces of nature. Its headquarters is located in Brooklyn, and its current leader is Nihilistic Ron.
Lore
History
In 30 B.A.C. (30 Years before the establishment of the Arad Calendar), the resistance organization known as the Terra Cotta was created by the Second Apostle, Keening Hilder, as a countermeasure against the Ninth Apostle Dragon Tyrant Bakal's growing influence in Pandemonium. Fearing that one day the Dragon King may attempt to conquer Pandemonium, the group assembled capable Elementalists to prepare for an upcoming war. Around that same time, an elementalist of unknown origins named Iris made her debut, and due to her overwhelming strength, the group declared her as the resistance's leader.
When Bakal initiated the Dragon War in 15 B.A.C., the Terra Cotta gathered with the other Apostles led by Hilder to defeat the Dragonoid Army and trap the Dragon King. Although they succeeded in suppressing Bakal's forces, they failed to stop Bakal from escaping to the outside world of Arad. However, despite this failure, the Terra Cotta succeed in protecting Pandemonium and ridding it of the threat of Bakal. With its main objective now completed, the organization continued its existence, but as peacekeepers within Pandemonium.
For many years under the guidance of Iris and Hilder, the Terra Cotta flourished and succeeded in maintaining peace within the eight districts of Pandemonium. However, almost one thousand years later, in Arad Year 980, a group of mages in Bronx known as the Kashipa discovered a new magical power called the Abyss. Using this new power, the Kashipa began to infringe upon and invade the nearby territories of Harlem, Central Park, and Brooklyn.
As complications between the Kashipa and rival magical factions grew rampant, the Terra Cotta feared that the confrontations may escalate into a full-scale war engulfing the entirety of Pandemonium, similar to the Dragon War. To prevent this from occurring, Iris, hosted a magical tournament called the First Pandemonium Assembly to negotiate peace agreements between the factions. As an extra incentive, she offered knowledge of the Water of Life to the victor. As the result, the five dominant magical factions: the Terra Cotta, the Circle Mages, the Ancient Library, the Kashipa, and the Guardians, all engaged in the tournament to decide the fate of Pandemonium.
As a result of the tournament, the Terra Cotta's leader and representative, Iris, succeeded in subduing all the other factions' chief combatants, allowing it to keep the information regarding the Water of Life as well as dictate the peace agreements between the factions.
