Terrah

Terrah is the home of the Earth Ashari, located in a bowl-like valley in the center of the Cliffkeep Mountains north of Kraghammer. The area experiences constant seismic activity, causing the ground to shake and shudder frequently, and sometimes causing the earth to spike upwards where two plates collide.

Society
The Earth Ashari are very secretive about the location of Terrah and warned Vox Machina not to tell anyone where they were. They disrespect and mistrust residents of Kraghammer for their reckless mining, which caused countless deaths during the most recent eruption of the Terrah Rift and led to the collapse of an entire mountain.

The Earth Ashari trade with Emon, exchanging precious and semi-precious stones from their rift for essential goods and, occasionally, protection from the creatures of the mountains.

Demographics
Terrah is a village of 673 people in 812 PD, made up of humans (64%), dwarves (21%), and other races (15%). Considering that genasi on Tal'Dorei are most common among the Ashari, this presumably includes earth genasi. By 836 PD, the population had grown to 838, with the majority still being humans (61%) and dwarves (19%), but with a now significant amount of gnomes (5%).

Notable people

 * Pa'tice: "Heart of the Mountain", human headmaster of Earth Ashari.
 * Dryden: Half-orc and one of the sentinels of Earth Ashari.

Campaign 1
Early in 810 PD, Keyleth visited Terrah to begin her Aramenté while Greyskull Keep was under construction. She completed the earth trial on her own, and briefly recounted her experience to the rest of Vox Machina. She described the Earth Ashari at Terrah as kind people, but admitted she had a lot of difficulty with the trial, and had a vision of her death due to inaction while under the influence of Oloore root.

Vox Machina traveled to Terrah while on the way to the Pools of Wittebak. There, Keyleth spoke with Pa'tice and warned him about Vecna, and Pa'tice told the party about the dangers of the Pools to which they were traveling. Vox Machina spent the night in earthen lodging where they could hear the seismic activity, before leaving the next morning.

Campaign 3
When Orym asked Imogen to provide an update to Keyleth regarding the apogee solstice about two weeks in advance of the event, Keyleth responded that she was busy at Terrah, where they were experiencing instability in the rift. She attributed this to something beneath the settlement, and wondered if it was connected to the plans of the Ruby Vanguard.

About a week later, Keyleth provided an update via Orym's Message Bloom and told him that there had been a Dark Heart Behemoth in the rift, but that, with some loss of life, the Ashari had managed to deal with it and stabilize Terrah. She also mentioned the Cult of the Dark Heart being behind this plot and verified the Ruby Vanguard connection.
