Terra's native races
| Races | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Natives | Ancients | Elders | Aliens | Others |
Despite the Ancients and Elders being the most prominent inhabitants of Terra, they are actually not native (i.e. alien) to the planet; Terra has been inhabited by several sapient races long before the advent of the Ancients and Elders.[1][2]

Teekaz
For millennia, the Teekaz are Terra's most dominant race, even going as far as calling it their homeland.[1] But since the arrival of the "First Civilization", their domination came to an end as they became scattered across Terra and their lands being taken over by the Ancients and the Elders. To make matters worse, the Teekaz are not fully united as internal strife has caused an ultimate split of the race.[3]
Currently, only the Sarkaz continue to carry on the Teekaz's sorrowful legacy; such name was originally a derogatory collective term that refered to any non-Ancient and non-Elder races but was used to justify their vengeance as a rally cry.[4] They deem rebuilding Kazdel – the "Promised Land" of the Teekaz – is the only way to "return to their roots." Whereas the Sankta, Anasa and Oni, who originated from the Teekaz, have chosen different routes to rebuild their homeland.
