Tertians, The vengeful

Their most striking feature though is the pearl like third eye which sits in the center of their forehead. This third eye is believed to improve the race's capacity for spatial recognition, giving them an advantage over other races when it comes to navigating aircraft or firing weapons.

These two great assets were met only with a damning disadvantage, an extreme difficulty when manipulating magic. Though there are some capable of overcoming even this obstacle with their technology or great minds.

The Tertians are a race of people who found themselves at a disadvantage in the world. Once living in the southern, warm reaches of Teorcas, the Tertians found themselves forced north over time. Eventually they were forced to cross treacherous peaks which divided the north and south, leading to them settle in lands with long, bitter winters and short growing periods. Their misfortune would eventually lead to a great boon in the form of ceruleum, a fuel which they were able to take advantage of start a golden era of technology for themselves.

As nearly all Tertians are unable to manipulate the magical potential in their bodies, they found themselves defeated time and time again by those with an aptitude for magic. That was until the discovery of ceruleum, which after experimentation and engineering led the to the birth of magitek. This came in the creation of many machines and devices which could mimic magical effects and swung the pendulum in the Garleans favour. Within 50 years of the discovery they'd managed to form a vast empire which spanned three quarters of the great continent of Teorcas.
