Elemental Form of Earth

Teréðrū, like all elemental magics, is considered to be a primitive art. The form however is not limited to rocks and stones. Teréðrū refers to all things that occur naturally in the earth. It can include rocks, crystals, minerals, magma, soil, sand, peat, fossils, and petrified plants. Teréðryr are commonly experts on one or more of these materials, and sometimes natural phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanoes, etc.

Hills and mountains are sacred to these elementalists. Uncommon natural formations (e.g., natural bridges, canyons) are thought to be evidence of a land’s inherent magics. These areas are often protected by elementalists with a passion bordering on religious zealotry.

Teréðrū is an uncommon study among “civilized” magicians, who often consider the magic of the earth as elementary and unworthy of expensive study. Due to these prejudices, much of Teréðrū is a mystery to more “mainstream” students of magic.

Teréðryr typically believe that magic must be summoned from the land. This channeling is made easier by keeping one’s feet bare. Many students of Teréðrū claim to lose “contact” with the magic forces unless this simple condition is met. Some go so far as to believe that all magic travels through the ground and that no Teréðrū spells should be attempted without bare feet.

Crystal and stone talismans offer twice the amount of mana to the Teréðryr, though they recharge normally.

Notables of Teréðrū include Dys Esadyr of Golst, and Morghin of Ossmīnor.
