Contained in this thread is the information we know about Terrea as a whole. As we learn more, some of the information in this thread will change, so be sure to check back occasionally. :3
Terrea is the planet that all bloblings live on. It started out as a completely sandy ball of earth, but it's grown since then and now sports several different biomes with all sorts of life. Bloblings are the most intelligent life on Terrea, perhaps tied with Stridors now (though they would probably think themselves to be much smarter), and they're also the dominant species. Most tend to live in the Smiley Sands, as that's where most of them were born, but they can live anywhere they want to.
Terrea is about half the size of Earth, so it actually takes a significant amount of time to traverse.
Bloblings are animated by the souls of humans who died long ago, and often they retain a few memories of the Old World, which is what most bloblings call Earth. Your blobling may remember small chunks of its human life, as well as fragments of what Earth was once like, but try not to go too overboard.
Terrea is ruled by Ichor, the Goddess that made it. Ichor was once a human, but now she exists as the seemingly Immortal Life Goddess of Terrea. Eris' and Themis' planets can be seen from the surface of Terrea rather easily, but since most bloblings who visit Eris' planet don't return and nobody has gotten to visit Themis' planet yet, we know nothing about them.
Terrea has six Stars that surround it, each one a different colour of the rainbow (minus indigo), and those are the only stars that can be seen in the entire sky, other than the two white stars that hug Themis' planet. This means that Terrea itself has no sun or moon, no day or night and it does not rotate, so its stars are always in the same place in the sky. This also means that one side of the planet is slightly darker than the other. Because of the red barrier that surrounds it, as well as the atmosphere being slightly red, the sky on Terrea is a blackish auburn colour. Depending on the biome you're in, it is also devoid of clouds.
Plants on Terrea seem to grow almost as soon as they touch the soil. From a seed, any given plant on Terrea will take anywhere from a minute to five minutes to become fully grown once intentionally planted. If a plant is cut down but the roots aren't removed, it will take anywhere from an hour to three days to regrow completely, depending on how happy the plant is in its current environment. While most plants will grow in any biome, all of them do have preferences and will grow better when certain conditions are met.
There is also no death on Terrea, or so it seems. While some flora and fauna seem to be able to 'die', this is mostly as a result of the vessel a soul is trying to use becoming uninhabitable, such as a chromillia's entire body being burned up in a fire. Most things on Terrea regenerate completely and immediately when given the chance, including bloblings. The gems and metals in the ground, once plucked from the earth, regenerate within a few days. They are a renewable resource that cannot be tapped, as far as we know.
While there was once no wind or weather on Terrea, certain biomes now boast a slight breeze and occasional rain. As a whole, however, Terrea is usually quiet, still and room temperature.
As far as its origins go, according to Eris, Terrea is a social experiment created by Ichor to test how creatures interact and cultures grow when they're given complete free reign over everything around them. This is why she allows them to create their own biomes, pets, flora and fauna.
