Oldest of the four sisters, Terrema knows intimately all the surface of the earth and what lies underneath. She appears as a very fit, perfect elf with long brown hair. Her eyes are similarly a deep shade of brown. She often appears in earth toned clothes that allow her to move freely and not get in the way, and so Terrema has on several occaisions been mistaken for just an athletic elf. She is most often spotted by miners, the poor and overworked, and sightings are often followed by the discovery of a new type of beautiful gem.

Every precious gem that has been found in Reydala owes its existence to Terrema, she tirelessly works on creating beautiful stones to fill the earth. She is especially interested seeing what others do with her creations, though her reaction is not always positive: many a gemcutter has come upon misfortune for turing quality gems into gaudy trinkets. Terrema hates having her treasures hoarded, so she has a special fondness for merchants, who disperse her beautiful works among the people. Despite resembling the elven, she most prefers humans who are tirelessly dedicated to their crafts and ardent in sharing them with others. The currency of most human lands even bears Terrema's Symbol or image upon them.

Dogma:

Worshipers of Terrema are often keenly interested in money, though not in a bad way. They often rail against perceived hoarders and take up the cause of the poor. They work toward free trade between all peoples. Coupled with this they have a deep respect for the land, often overseeing mining operations so that damage to the earth is minimal. They recognize the benefits of large cities yet feel this is secondary to preserving natural beauty.
