Terra
Overview
Terra is a dying parallel world linked to Gaia through an ancient plan of planetary assimilation. Its blue-green terrain, unusual architecture, Genomes, and artificial environments distinguish it sharply from Gaia's natural continents and kingdoms. The region contains some of the most important information about Garland, Kuja, Zidane, and the Genomes, making Terra both a physical location and the source of much of the game's deeper cosmology.
