Terrea Plot Summary: the Story So Far

TERREA, ICHOR AND THE BLOBLINGS:

Ichor, goddess of life, created the planet as a sandy orb and spawned in thousands of little bloblings. As they woke up for the first time she asked them how they’d like to shape their world. They asked for a wet humid place and Ichor made it so, creating the Sourglow Swamps. Then came populating the lands with flora and fauna and pets, all from the minds of the blobs and given life by Ichor. The blobs weren’t idle themselves though; a blob named B (NPC) rallies some of her fellow (PC) blobs and they begin constructing homes.

Then we find that there is something, or someone, missing.

A blob, Ra’chett, had gone on a quest for the goddess Ichor who makes it clear that someone named Hana- someone dear to her - is no longer around. She erects a small monument in a hidden place, the bust of a solemn looking young woman with raven hair and ram horns bursting from her forehead, and a dark, generous hood hanging over her face.

Some time after, Eris, god of chaos, made his presence known. He tasked a blob, Ifera, to go into the swamps, to a cabin, and bleed into a goblet. Upon completion the tar pits spill forth and occupy a good chunk of the swamps and Yume, godborn of Eris and Ifera, is born.

The name Hana appears on Ichor's lips again. Once more with the assistance of Ra’chett, Ichor has the seeds of the lambfruit planted each with the name Hana spoken over them. It is then that she reveals that Hana “was death”.

With further discussion between Ichor and her blobs, a third biome is created; a cold mountain range dubbed the Climate Caves and Mossy Mountains.

Yume makes an appearance to introduce fire to the blobs at Eris’ prompting. It gets a bit out of hand and results in an unnatural fire spreading across the sands. It’s a terrifying experience for many blobs and prompts the goddess of order, Themis, to intervene and restore order, countering the chaos Eris was spawning in the world.

That is how Ichor finds her. After a terse dismissal from the life goddess Themis begrudgingly agrees to leave. However, knowing that Eris has a child on the planet, Themis chooses an order aligned blobling Tyr’i to assist in creating her own godborn. It… worked, after the goddess accidentally frightened the blob, the godborn Reinala was born. Then Themis left.

Which just left Ichor trying to clean up. Attempt to, anyway. The tar pits refused to move when she tried to clear them out. Deciding it was more important to lock out the other gods anyway she places a barrier around the planet to lock out the other two, Themis and Eris. In order to be sure she’d know as soon as possible if the other gods made an appearance again, she gave the blobs a sort of mental social media to communicate with each other and her called the EB.

Though things had calmed down a bit, it wouldn’t last. Reinala, trying to create stability in the world, used her powers freely. In doing so she intentionally disintegrated innocent creatures and essentially murders a blob by rewriting their mind to force them to be good based only on the suggestion of another blob named Misty(PC). Yume accidentally harms two blobs causing them to bleed out in the water inadvertently creating waterborn blobs. These new blobs have clear water-like bodies that let you see through to their blood cores.

This leads to an interesting conversation between Themis and Eris in an old forest on another world. One where they speak of Hana again and refer to her as Thanatos. Eris asks Themis why his precious little blob daughter thinks she’s killed someone if Death is dead.

It was around this time, while the gods dealt with these things, the common blobs discovered a new friend was lurking in the mountains. A blobling named Damazi(NPC) had raised and bred many creatures she called meowlers and these felines became blob kind's best friend.

Back with the gods, it was later that Ichor rounded up the troublesome godborns to face justice for their crimes against the blobs. Notably, Yume's offence of accidental arson and accidental murder and Reinala's mind wipe of innocent bloblings and disintegration of several creatures. This was a public trial that all the blobs of Terrea bore witness to and acted as jury for. The blobs pleaded for leniency for the two godborns, but the damage to the relationship between the gods was already done. Ichor revealed to Yume that Eris had sacrificed his previous daughters. After banishing Ichor, Eris in turn showed her blobs what she was doing at that same time- engaging in sexual acts to power up just as he had sacrificed what he must to do the same. Besides the fact that he claims she also killed people before she became a god. He broke the barrier Ichor placed on his way out.

Ichor secluded herself for some time after that, only showing herself briefly. One of these brief excursions was because of a group bleeding that resulted in rainbowborns; she blessed one of the children at random because she could sense they were made from a loving union. Ichor went on like this until Themis returned with a peace offering. They celebrated Halloween together, introducing the tradition and history to the bloblings with a haunted house. Of course, Eris invited himself along for the event. Relations... slightly mended between the gods? Eris reminds Ichor that he is not patient and she would need to make her own godborn soon so his daughter could roam free once more, as per the punishment decided for her at the end of the trial.

She was not quite swift enough. Eris assisted Yume in opening a portal that spewed out beings from another reality and, though it did result in a fun fair with their snekkitti guests, Ichor was pressed to return them as soon as possible. However, she needed help that Eris was refusing her. She called out to Avalora, a blob, and with her assistance created her own godborn Dioscuri to aid her with the portal so that she could banish the snekkitties. Dioscuri was promptly divided into Dios and Curi in order to watch over the other two godborns more easily.
