During her psychosis following [[Forgotten_Freedom:Lisa|Lisa]]'s death, Terra was watched by [[Forgotten_Freedom:Motoko|Motoko]], an angry young woman assigned to the task by [[Forgotten_Freedom:_Rose|Rose]]. After Terra recovered, Motoko began trying to get her back into the dating scene, believing this to be the best way to prevent her from falling back into depression. In a "shocking" twist that was a surprise to no one, in the end it was Motoko herself that Terra was finally willing to give herself a chance to love. | During her psychosis following [[Forgotten_Freedom:Lisa|Lisa]]'s death, Terra was watched by [[Forgotten_Freedom:Motoko|Motoko]], an angry young woman assigned to the task by [[Forgotten_Freedom:_Rose|Rose]].

In a fit of utter rage, Terra managed to manifest on Eberron as a true Goddess, not merely an avatar. Appearing as a Great Shadow Wyrm, she rampaged across the face of Eberron in her grief. Whether it was really her, what remained of her soul, or merely a memory is unknown, but Lisa is the one who quelled her anger. |
Thanks to Lisa, Terra has recognized her need for worshippers to fuel her real power. Her form of worship, however, is unique. Unlike other deities, she is fueled by the bonds forged by those around both her and those who worship her. As it stands, the majority of her power comes from her friends and family, and she has yet to expand much beyond this base. | Thanks to Lisa, Terra has recognized her need for worshippers to fuel her real power.

Terra is currently locked in a deific battle with Tiamat, Khyber's avatar, who has possessed and consumed an old friend, [[Forgotten_Freedom:_Rose|Captain Rose's]] former wife, Achika.

So far, Terra has managed to stalemate her, but how long she can keep it up is unknown. | Terra is currently locked in a deific battle with Tiamat, Khyber's avatar, who has possessed and consumed an old friend, [[Forgotten_Freedom:_Rose|Captain Rose's]] former wife, Achika.

Lisa was almost literally her whole world, and she fears she will be unfit to raise their children by herself. She sees Lisa from time to time, encouraging her, but much like when she calmed the raging diety, whether Lisa is truly speaking to her or is merely a manifestation of Terra's mind is unclear. |
Update: Except for the time she calmed Terra's rage, it appears the Lisa Terra was speaking to was an elaborate illusion created by Tiamat in order to weaken and partially control her. In the final confrontation between Tiamat and the crew, Terra was able to see though the illusion and come to the aid of her children. Unfortunately, even she could not stand against Tiamat. As part of a punishment/torture for being such a nuisance, Tiamat began consuming her. She was saved from this only by Bahamut's arrival and Sarah vanquishing the avatar of Khyber with the Syberis Dragonmark of Death. The pain still torments Terra from time to time, but she has finally come to terms with Lisa's death. | Update: Except for the time she calmed Terra's rage, it appears the Lisa Terra was speaking to was an elaborate illusion created by Tiamat in order to weaken and partially control her.

| − | Though she dislikes | + | Though she dislikes advertizing it, Terra is in reality the newest goddess of Eberron. The only one of the Sovereigns to pay homage to neither Good or Evil, she is known as either Dah Terra the Gardener or the Keeper of Shadowmatter. She retains her body as her avatar, preferring to spend her life with her family for as long as it holds out. She is bound by the rules for dieties laid down by the Projenitor Dragons, and cannot access anything even remotely resembling her full power for more than a few minutes (her alternate form, see previous update below). The ironic part of this status involves [[Forgotten_Freedom:Lisa|Lisa]]. Lisa worships the Silver Flame, but sleeps with a goddess of the Host. Even more ironic, despite Terra clearly being the stronger of the two, there is no doubt that Lisa is in charge. Terra will do anything and everything in her power to make Lisa happy, even to the point of absurdity. For her part, Lisa only really takes advantage of this in their 'games'. |
On top of birthing [[Forgotten_Freedom:Elina|Elina]] and siring [[Forgotten_Freedom:Sarah|Sarah]], Terra also carried the triplets [[Forgotten_Freedom:Nina Branford|Nina]], [[Forgotten_Freedom:Deis Branford|Deis]], and [[Forgotten_Freedom:Scias Branford|Scias]], and sired [[Forgotten_Freedom:Momo Hopeforge|Momo]]. The four have presented new challenges and delights for her and Lisa, and they enjoy these new additions to their family immensely. | On top of birthing [[Forgotten_Freedom:Elina|Elina]] and siring [[Forgotten_Freedom:Sarah|Sarah]], Terra also carried the triplets [[Forgotten_Freedom:Nina Branford|Nina]], [[Forgotten_Freedom:Deis Branford|Deis]], and [[Forgotten_Freedom:Scias Branford|Scias]], and sired [[Forgotten_Freedom:Momo Hopeforge|Momo]].

On top of all this, Terra and Lisa brought back with them their two daughters (yes, biological, and no I'm not telling you how this happened :P), [[Forgotten_Freedom:Sarah|Sarah]] and [[Forgotten_Freedom:Elina|Elina]]. Despite, or, more accurately, because of her traumatic background, Terra has taken to being a mother with a passion and is very protective of her wife and daughters. The "honeymoon" feel of the love between Terra and Lisa has never really faded, and the two seem as, if not more, committed to each other than the day they were married. | On top of all this, Terra and Lisa brought back with them their two daughters (yes, biological, and no I'm not telling you how this happened :P), [[Forgotten_Freedom:Sarah|Sarah]] and [[Forgotten_Freedom:Elina|Elina]].

Her ten years outside the reach of the Prophesy have further sent her on a path that worries the Dragons of the Chamber to no end. What Terra is and what she may become are known only to herself, her wife, and Volrath to some extent. What action the Chamber will take is unknown, but there have been hints that they will target her children. |
In her early days in the Underground, she had the unfortunate fate of meeting a rather Spoony Bard. The now [[Forgotten_Freedom:_Rose|Captain Rose]] was one of her early associates, whom she fired for stealing from her. A more recent development has brought to light that she is, in fact, Rose's half-sister, both sharing the same mother. How exactly this came about is still unknown, but it is certain that both of them are entirely creeped out by Rose's earlier leering/pickup attempts/etc. towards her. | In her early days in the Underground, she had the unfortunate fate of meeting a rather Spoony Bard.

Based in Sharn, she funds her operation through the trafficing of drugs (many of which she created herself) and the smuggling of rare items. She rules her organization with a combination of benevolence for those that abide by her orders and iron-fisted cruelty for those who do not. As a means of protection from assassins, she has had several grafts. These include Incendiary Skin and permenant Acid Resistance. In addition, she has added Regeneration and several vine tentacles that she can call upon when neccessary. |
For a drug smuggler and crime lord, she is actually not that bad a person so long as you don't cross her. She has a strong sense of honor and will defend those she holds dear to the death if she must. Though the cost of failure during her mindgames with the Redshirts is often rather lethal, she does not revel in needless slaughter and hopes her 'lessons' help the survivors become stronger. | For a drug smuggler and crime lord, she is actually not that bad a person so long as you don't cross her.

As part of her Druidic heritage and chosen profession, she runs a rather complex network of animal spies running throughout Eberron and even into some of the Planes.

During a trip to Dal Quor, she fused with an imprisoned spirit from her companion abberation, [[Forgotten_Freedom:"Not-Walter"|"Not-Walter"]], gaining his powers, abilities, and memories. Her original personality remains dominant and little change is apparent. The two of them were so close that they had already taken on many of each others personality traits. |

During the battle against the Lords of Dust, it was revealed that they had been subtly manipulating Terra into furthering their plans. Their leader, Ariajni, was ultimately responsible for the whole mess involving her and her family with the Demon Lord. To add insult to injury, he was also directly responsible for her adoptive mother's death. In the course of the battle against him, she discovered she had access to angelic power as well, a gift from her adoptive mother (revealed to have been an Astral Deva). | During the battle against the Lords of Dust, it was revealed that they had been subtly manipulating Terra into furthering their plans.

Eventually, the Quori managed to capture him and his companions. After stripping him of the Quori spirit he kept trapped, they sealed his spirit in the body of an abberation and murdered his friends before his eyes as punishment. The binding stripped him of all his Mindhunter abilities, and he was largely unable to access the rest. Because of these events, the most obvious difference in her new personality is a near-unbridled hatred of the Quori. |
