Terris Religion
The pre-empire faith of the Terris people — the one Sazed's keeper sect dedicated lifetimes to reconstructing from the corrupted fragments the Lord Ruler permitted to survive. TenSoon's revelation about the First Generation gives Sazed the hope that it is not extinct: the men who actually practised it before Rashek took the Well are still alive in the Homeland. MB1:HoA:Ch 62

- called-god-terr-and-its-holy-men-worldbringersThe Terris religion Sazed reconstructs at the Homeland is a scholar-faith. Its god is named *Terr* — old Terris for *to preserve* — and its holy people, the Worldbringers, are what the Keepers descend from. Its central body of history is the long interaction between Preservation and Ruin; its central ethics teach temperance, faith, and the priority of building over destruction; its central prophecies name the Hero of Ages as a successor of Preservation.MB1:HoA:Ch 75
