Terin

Terin is a terrestrial planet that exists in the Frostlandyaan System. It was discovered by astronomer Fredrich Kramer in 1962 after alien life was confirmed to exist in 1957. It is currently home to 2.4 billion members of the Terin species. It's current planetary government is the Eviltie Empire, which was established there on Wednesday, December 1, 1954. It's capital is Yyteir, and it's ruler is Michael Soclin, Jr. also known as the Elf King.

First settled by mutated members of the now extinct Keireacv species as a place of banishment, it was created into an intergalactic power house by 50,000 B.C. By 30,000 B.C., the original Keireacv settlers had evolved into Terin. The planet was named Terin by the settlers in the year 46,239 B.C.

Pre History
While first discovered by humans in 1962, Terin was first discovered by Keiracv scientist Honlev around 100,000 B.C. on the planet Keirk. Honlev informed the Council of Keirk Superiors of his discovery. The council sent Keireacv warriors to colonize the planet. When Honlev died in 999,782 B.C., the planet was named Honlev in honor.

When the Keireacv Peasant Uprising happened in 74,234 B.C., the number of arrests rised dramatically. As the Council had ruled execution to be an anger to their god, Keif, in 168,203 B.C., it was not allowed and there was no room to house the prisoners. As such, council member Jrie decided that all prisoners be sent to Honlev for banishment.

Upon arrival, the peasants killed all of the warriors stationed there and overtook the land. They then established a secretive government that was to be kept away from Keirk. By 50,000 B.C. the planet had become an intergalactic power house and was doing trade with the neighboring planets of Fryeik (present day Frostlandyaa) and Korne. In 46,240 B.C., the Council of Keirk Superiors found out about the government and became furious. They waged war on the planet.

Honlev won but at the cost of their leader, Terin, who sacrificed himself to kill the remaining Keirk. As such, a year later, the Government of Honlev decided to rename their planet Terin.

By 30,000 B.C. the Keireacv settled on Terin had evolved to be more humanoid. They called this new species Terin. In 25,000 B.C., the government of Terin discovered another planet which they colonized and called Magmus.

Colonization Era (25,000 B.C. - 19,000 B.C.)
After colonizing Magmus, the King of Terin decided to colonize more land. As such, many moons were discovered and colonized by Terin. In 24,016 B.C., the Terin attempted to overtake the planet of Electria. The conquest failed. Around 21,000 B.C., Magmus declared itself independent from Terin rule. Terin and Magmus entered the Magma War (21,000 B.C.)

However, Terin lost the war and Magmus, which would later call itself Firelodia. Afterwards around 19,000 B.C., the king of Electria, Sermikan, bitter with the Terin for their war on Electria, sent troops to Terin's moons to invade them. The conquest succeded. Terin's King, Jeoj Heur, signed a peace treaty with the Electrians, stating that Electria would give Terin half of it's moons back as long as Terin stopped colonizing new lands.

First Modern Era (19,000 B.C. - 234)
Afterwards, Terin prospered, eventually even trading with the planet of Firelodia by 6,000 B.C. Terin's era of prosperity is often known as the First Modern Era. During this era, the Ioel Family took control of the monarchy from the Heur family around 17,000 B.C.

Around 3,265 B.C., Terin went to war with Electria. While it was theorized by Terin scholars that the war would bankrupt the planet, Terin actually became even richer, with citizens spending to help the war effort. The war ended around 3,244 B.C., with a Terin victory and the overthrow of the Electrian Government.

In 2,459 B.C., King Iur Ioel ordered genocide on all Electrians, believing them to be a threat to his plans. The genocide was carried out, and since then, Electria has been an abandoned planet. Believing King Iur to be tyrannical, his bodyguard, Ljik Weurin, assasinated Iur and declared himself King. The Weurin Family then overtook the monarchy.

The First Civil War (234 - 246)
By 234 AD, a famine had developed and there was anger between the Weurin and Sotke families. Although the Weurin family ruled Terin, the Sotke family was the wealthiest family and argued that the man with the most wealth should rule the land.

As such, nobleman Oiru Sotke challenged King Tuntur Weurin to a duel behind the Terin Palace. Weurin accepted. Sotke tackled Weurin and then procceeded to sadistically stab Weurin. Finally, Sotke decapitated Weurin. The incident outraged the Weurin family. The new king, Tuntur's brother, Sirjek then declared that the Sotke family were no longer citizens of Terin, and that Oiru Sotke was to be executed for treason.

Allies of the Weurins went to the Sotke Residence, hoping to hang Oiru. However, they were met by Oiru, along with his son Shermer. Shermer and Oiru clashed with the intruders and then captured them, burning them at the stake. Outraged, King Sirjek Weurin declared war on the Sotkes.

The First Terin Civil War lasted 12 years, until 246 AD, when King Sirjek signed a peace treaty with Wilfred Sotke, stating that the Sotke Family would be allowed to stay without criminal charges as long as they denounced and expelled Oiru, Shermer, as well as Oiru's uncle Kenti.

Oiru, Shermer, and Kenti would later be arrested in 247 AD and executed for treason. The treaty also stated that once all current members of the Weurin Family died (King Sirjek, his wife Joka, and their son Wilfrik) died, that control of the monarchy would be reorganized based on wealth.

The Sotke Era (405 - 1707)
King Wilfrik Weurin died in 405 AD. As such, the law stated that head of the Sotke Family, Doue Sotke was to become King, as the Sotke Family was still currently the wealthiest. Throughout history, the Sotke Family took many protective measures to ensure that they remained the wealthiest in Terin. For example, in 709, King Ueol Sotke stated that once a citizen became deceased, their wealth would go to the monarch.

In 1293, King Uneh Sotke took even further measures. When the Lureln Family became close to the Sotke Family in terms of wealth (The Sotke Family had 17,023 Terinites, The Lureln Family had 16,839), Uneh ordered a genocide on all members of the Lureln Family except for the head, Ruekr Lureln. The genocide was successful and afterwards Ruekr was arrested, tortured, and executed. Under Terin Law, Uneh then took all the wealth of the Lureln, putting him well above the competition.

In 1472, King Ghed Sotke began raising taxes on the wealthiest citizens, a surefire way to give him money while taking it away from the citizens. He also confiscated the weapons of the citizens, which he feared they could use to rebel.

However, none of this was enough to outrage the public. This changed in 1704, when King Yte Sotke died, and his son, Qyer Sotke became King. Qyer, a revisionist historian believed the Weurin Family to be scheming against the Sotkes.

King Qyer began creating propaganda which spread lies about the Weurin Family, stating that they kidnapped and enslaved citizens and were hateful. In 1705, Qyer ordered a genocide on all members of the Weurin Family. He then also ordered a genocide on those who were tied to the Weurin Family. However, one member of the Weurin Family, 26 year old Jreujr Weurin managed to survive and went into hiding.

Qyer then closed down the trade center in the capital of Yyteir. The citizens began to think of the Sotke Family, especially Qyer as tyrannical. The Comittee to Dethrone Qyer began in 1706, and met in secret, headed by Jreujr Weurin.

The next year, one of Qyer's bodyguards, Rieurj Uhure discovered the group, and reported them to Qyer. Enraged, Qyer ordered Uhure to search for the group. The most that Uhure could find was that the members were hiding in the village of Ueir, based on false information given to him by Lawrence Herke, a secret supporter of the group.

When nobody gave Uhure the information he wanted, he went back to Sotke. Sotke ordered Uhure to burn down the village at night, when everybody was asleep. Uhure did so, and the fire killed everybody in the village, 203 people in total, however no members of the group.

This action outraged the public, and many citizens joined the comittee. A group of illegally armed citizens, known as the Resitance to Tyranny, went to Yyteir to protest at The Palace of the Monarchs. Fearful, Sotke send two guards, Uhure as well as Rtie Ojre to kill the protestors. However, the protestors fought back and killed both Uhure and Ojre.

The Second Civil War and the Reorganization of the Government (1707 - 1713)
A group of guards were able to kill the protestors but the damage was done. Two factions emerged, The Imperial Faction (consisting of the monarchy, elites, and guards) was led by Sotke, and The Liberty Faction (consisting of citizens, militias, and disgruntled guards) led by Jreujr Weurin.

Sotke declared war on the Liberty Faction and produced propoganda characterizing them as anarchists. Many battles were fought, starting with the Battle of Yyteir, and ending with the Skirmish at Oejel. During the Battle of Sierju in 1711, King Qyer Sotke was killed.

After the inconclusive Skirmish at Oejel in 1713, Jreujr Weurin approached the new King, Unk Sotke. Weurin proposed a treaty written by Libertarian Ujen Kento. The treaty proposed that the government be reorganized into a Republic, and the King would be elected. Sotke would get to remain King for a 7 year term, until 1720, when a new election would be held. Under this treaty, a Senate was created to elect the King and advise him. The Senators would be appointed by the family with the most votes in each town.

Initially hesitant, King Unk Sotke signed the treaty in late 1713.

Second Modern Era (1714 - 1954)
On January 1, 1714, the treaty became official. As such, citizens enjoyed new freedoms such as lower taxation and the return of weapons. Unk Sotke won reelection in 1720, but lost in 1727, as the new Senators appointed in 1724 were former Libertarians who disliked the Sotke Family. Unk Sotke would eventually get to become the Senator from Ukes in 1734, when the new class of senators were appointed. The government prospered in what was known as the second modern era. Unk Sotke died in 1842 as a sitting senator.

The Eviltie Era (1954 - present)
On December 1, 1954, Erkhon Stardom, a former Terin arrived at Yyteir with his army of Evilties. His Eviltie Empire had been formed four years prior. Upon arrival, he was greated by King Helkins Urjwels. Urjwels then asked Stardom "Hello sir, I am King Helkins Urjwels, what are you doing here?" Angered, Stardom stabbed Urjwels. Stardom then ordered his troops to invade the palace.

The troopers were successful and all Terin Guards were either killed or joined the Eviltie Empire. As such, Stardom moved his troops to the other villages and informed them to capture. They were successful.

Stardom declared Terin a part of his Eviltie Empire and declared himself the Zurg. Under the Eviltie Empire, Terin has returned to it's state under the Sotke Family. Crime is at an all time high, and citizens are taxed at extreme rates.

When Stardom went missing in 2020, Michael Soclin Jr. became the Zurg of the Eviltie Empire and in effect, the ruler of Terin.

Governance
Since The Invasion of Yyteir in 1954, Terin has been governed by the Eviltie Empire. As such, there has not been an independent government of Terin since 1954. Eviltie Law applies to all planets in it's rule, and Terin is no exception. There is one court established in the Capital of Yyteir, known as The Court of Answers, established in 1974 by Stardom.

Unlike the other planets ruled by The Eviltie Empire, Terin does not have a royal government, as it is the capital and the residence of the Zurg, therefore not needing an overseer. As such, all rule of the planet goes to the Zurg. The current Zurg is Michael Soclin, Jr., who became Zurg on February 27, 2020.

Physical Characteristics and Geography
Terin's surface area is about half the size of Earth's. Overall, Terin is a very similar planet to Earth with a similar atmosphere. Terin has one permanent polar cap, located close to the village of UIrielnet. Terin's climate varies.

Economy
Since the destruction of Firelodia, Terin has been the wealthiest planet in the Frostlandyaan System. It's currency is The Urekn-Naz, which replaced the Terinites in 1955. One Urken-Naz is worth 0.00083 U.S. Dollars. The current wealthiest man on Terin is Zurg Michael Soclin, Jr. with 392,958,384,950,684,290,573,009 Urken-Naz.

Terin's economy has varied based on the rulers. Under the Weurin Family, the economy prospered. Meanwhile, the extreme taxation under the Sotke Family crippled the economy badly. After the Kento Treaty of 1713, most Kings tended to take a Laissez-faire approach to the market.

However, after the Eviltie takeover of Terin in 1954, Zurg Erkhon Stardom began to take control of the market and raise taxes, taking a communist approach to the market. Upon his inauguration as Zurg, Michael Soclin Jr. has taken a more middle of the road Keynsian approach to the economy.

Orbit and Rotation
Terin is 128 million miles from the Centered Sun of Frostlandyaa. It's orbital period is 415 (Earth) days. It is closest to the planet of Oeif.

Moons
Terin currently has 3 moons. Urujtr, Suerlmet, and Okwuemmsis. Both Urujtr and Suerlmet are smaller than Earth's moon, while Okwuemmsis is roughly the same size.
