Terirant is the sixth planet of an eight-planet system in the heart of the Gin galaxy. In 345 D.A., Terirant was first settled by a convoy of escaped convicts, having fled their prisons during the fabled Minstel's Armageddon. As legends say, the convicts were hand-chosen by the Creator incarnate, the Goddess Kraye, and lead by the world-hero Minstel, who is said to have ended the war between good and evil.

In current times, evil is now either scarce or extinct, depending on the region. This is thanks to Minstel's Armageddon, fabled to have put an end to all of the galaxy's evils. Minstel's Armageddon took place after the Apocolypse, which whiped out all of the beings of the homosapien race. At first, scholars and scientists belive the Apocolypse was god-sent, but now, current, more advanced studies have shown that the titanic explosion was actually the sun, having reached its lifespan and died in a massive, violent super nova. The debris left from this supernova created a new galaxy, and eventually planets, which would now be the galaxy Gin. In place of the homosapiens has developed a more evolved spieces, the Mamosapiens, who rule the galaxy of Gin to date.

Terirant is a lush, forested planet, covered with vast forests and adequate moutain ranges. Its major rivers are the Marrkeem, Pigeonquill, Spiderpaw, and Illyad.

It is thanks to Terirant's fertile soil and unpolluted air that produce can be grown so easily; agriculture is the strongest economic link.

Terirant has the smallest populace of insects and arachnids to date, but it is very rampant with wildlife, ranging from small lizards to huge, pseudo-mammal beasts. (see color section, vol. 2)

Terirant is argueably the calmlest planet in the Gin glalaxy. This calm was established shortly after Minstel's Armageddon. The Great War had ended most evils, though such evils outside of the galaxy, such as the world-devouring Shadwynn, were unaffected. At the end of the Armageddon, during the Artix Dynasty, King Alaster Mourtin Lionstrong Artix III established a peace treaty with the Shadwynn, demanding them to give the planets of Gin a wide berth. Thanks to King Artix III, it is unlikey the inhabitants of Terirant will ever fall victims to the Shadwynn and any other grand evil.
