EEEENCOMING!
Catastrophe (-10)
A huge, black, smoldering rock streams out of the sky with a horrible wailing. The fiery boulder crash-lands in the forest south of Deadmarsh, and the landscape there becomes charred and barren. The Tek, desiring to study it, attempt to perform magic on it to move. The act causes the great stone to tremble, and it opens up, revealing within it an unmoving golem of the same material.
Create Avatar (-7)
The golem moves, rising up from the fallen meteor, and declares allegiance with those who had awoken it; the Scales. It is given the name "Terros" and lifts the husk of the meteor, bringing it to the Tek capitol city for study.
Advance Civilization (-5)
The Study of the stone, now called Terrosium after the golem, is discovered to vastly enchance magical properties, and is extremely resistant to most forms of damage, only capable of being changed while under the influence of magic, wherein it takes physical properties similar to iron.
The Tek fashion many magical amulets for magical pracitioners, and lock away the little remaining Terrosium under Tek'Rael's chamber for safekeeping. Wishing for more of the previously unknown material, they turn their gaze to the stars...
(Tek-Wide Amplification of Magic, and new interest in Astrology)
4 points remain.
(Terros is an effectively nonliving entity; it does not eat, drink, breathe, or sleep, but possesses awareness, emotion, and thought. It moves on its own and has all the properties of Terrosium. While capable of speech, Terros refrains from it often and acts without any indication as to what it will do, making it seem rude at times, but in reality it constantly thinks and re-thinks situations, consequences, and courses of actions for everything it encounters.)
