Terminus was taught of Ivak from his birth and the philosophies of both his parents bloodlines. Believing as they did that Ivak was given the raw end of a deal over the events of the Valterrain he has chosen to worship Ivak using both entertainment and release,and is very devoted to restoring Ivak to his Pre Valterrain status. He is also devoted to keeping people and nature in balance by release and entertainment. In order to further his cause, Terminus undertook the dangerous task of learning Reimancy. This included a long quest to find a Reimancer who would teach him. After years of devotion to the practice of the art,Terminus has developed a competent level of skill at manipulating fire and Earth. He also decided to undertake studies in Herbalism and Philtering as the making of philters would aid him eventually as well, however his competency in those arts is not as great. As of present he is located in the city of Sylira and pursuing his gods work.

The story of how that mark was bestowed is one that he tells only those that truly understand Ivak. The story began in the Cobalt Mountains while he was becoming skilled in Reimancy. He had a lover at the time named Sura who was of Syliran descent and lovely as the day is long. She was a Reimancer as well and they were practicing a simple spell manipulating fire and lost control of it, starting a blaze that encircled Sura and cut her off from Terminus. As the flames neared Sura, Terminus rushed toward them only to be repelled by the conflagration. In his grief he cried out to Ivak and then things changed. Terminus found himself facing an image of a man surrounded by flames and magma, the man radiated emotion as he did heat and fire. It didn't take him long to recognize the figure as a projection of Ivak, how he had found him he didn't know nor did he know how he was reaching him from his hidden prison but he cried out "lord Ivak save my beloved." There was a certain sadness in the face of the man, his eyes burned with the same flame that surrounded him, he spoke with and infinite softness as he said," I can give you the power to save her, however it may cost you her love." Desperate to save his love Terminus said, " I accept the consequences." At that moment a stream of fire erupted from the man's eyes and struck Terminus' breast. He was consumed by a burning heat but not harmed by the flame. When he gazed on his breast, there was a mark like unto a burning flame there. He suddenly knew what he must do Stripping himself of his gear he charged into the flames and shielded Sura from the fiery doom that closed in on her by using his body as a shield. Amazingly enough,when the fire died out, there was not a burn on him, though he had felt the intense heat and it nearly killed him, Sura who was protected by his body, had minor burns that could be treated by a healer. He reached for her but she rejected him saying he had become a monster, marked by he who caused the world to die. She knew she could never tell anyone what she had seen as they would not believe her, but neither did she accept Terminus afterward. Terminus lost his love that day but gained his god's favor. He has since used the mark to aid him in worship.
