Etymology

Earth's disproportionately large moon literally allows life to exist on this planet by stabilizing our axis and causing the tides and the seasons. Without it, we'd be a pretty rock. It exists because of an inter-planetary collision between the Earth and another planet dubbed Theia (hence the capital letter in the seed name).

My Review

Unlike it's rocky, molten namesake, this seed is a lush green land full of waterfalls and plenty of deep water to explore. The water features are often large and dramatic. Due to the steep nature of the mountains and the constant interruption of the game by flowing water that allows skeletons to take better aim at you, I recommend this only for advanced players.
