The TERA dev team and En Masse Entertainment have released a Happy Earth Day message to fans around the world. Included in the general well wishes for the day, devs include information about conservation lessons that can be learned in TERA.
.When your continents are titans and you are no more than a product of their dreaming, you treat the world with care and respect. The land is not only sacred, but you are constantly aware that the ground on which you tread is a sentient being to whom you could cause real damage.
.No smoke emanates from Allemantheia's spires. The high elves utilize clean energy that doesn't involve burning stones or trees. Similarly, the amani make extensive use of geothermal energy. The fortress city of Kaiator is powered exclusively by heat from deep beneath the surface of the world. There are no forests to burn, no fuel for their furnaces-they make use of the world's own power.
.The Popori Kingdom has minimal technology because the elins and popori try to live in balance with nature. They've made few changes to the environment, so visitors to the Lake of Tears will feel a sense of wonder at the natural beauty-a noticeable difference to the stark architecture of the high elf capital.
.The main city of Velika is wholly dependent upon imports for its survival. Food and raw materials are consumed voraciously by the city and those who would preserve nature have to fight loudly against the gluttonous economy.
