The TERA Online Baraka race are arcane keepers of knowledge and ancient secrets. Above all else, they value wisdom, and go as far as to build the most ambitious libraries and archives to store their vast and endless knowledge.
The TERA Online Baraka act as TERA’s patron historians, storing information about all of the races, their histories, religions, societies, politics, and values. This enables the Baraka to make careful judgments when dealing with the other races of TERA.
Much like their allies, the Poporis, the Baraka prize peace and preservation above all other things, following a philosophy of pacifism and balance. If you’re interested in the Poporis, details about the Poporis could be found at the TERA Guide website. The Baraka race see it as their charge to defend the weak races of Tera, protecting them against looming darkness with their ancient, powerful knowledge over the magic arts, and their unyielding dedication to the path of the noble warrior.
The Baraka adorn their homes with hallways full of ancient texts of all varieties, keeping a good record of their bloody history when their former allies, the giants, embarked on a violent path of conquest. The Baraka giant clan turned their backs on their former allies, forsaking the violence of the giants for a more peaceful and constructive role in the world of TERA.
The Baraka value and respect all societies, and are less wary and fearful than the Amani or the High Elves. The Baraka embrace those races who would venerate peace and choose justice over imperialism and world domination. If a Baraka believes that a sizable empire is a threat to his people or his allies, he will break his vow of pacifism to begin a war against them.
The TERA Online Baraka dodged the fate of the Day of Flame, which spared their lives as a species. Following in the footsteps of their arcane god, Oriyn, the Baraka continue to catalogue the entire history of Tera with astounding precision in the annals of their cavernous dwellings.
The Baraka have willfully joined the Federation in hope for a more peaceful future for TERA, banding together with Human and High Elf alike to use their knowledge as a weapon of justice and balance.
Time will only tell whether or not the ancient secrets of the Baraka will be appreciated by the races of the Federation, or abused by selfish means to secure world domination with he use of powerful magic. Whatever the fate of their people, the Baraka will remain one of the most intriguing races on the planet of TERA.
