History: PROBABLE THEORY: one of the experiments of Terra, Land was an elemental that lived on the plane of Terra and who descended from the blood of Terra. For his fidelity and determination, the Immortal guided Land on the path to Immortality, but not before getting him to swear that he swore allegiance to the actual lord of that plane in order to avoid angering him.
After his ascension (achieved around 4000 BC) Land is obliged to serve two patrons, respecting both the orders of his patron, Terra, as well as those of the Earth Elemaster, covering therefore the difficult position of intermediary between the two. He is placed like a bastion of the earth elementals and supervisor of planar interference with the plane of earth, tasks that he takes most seriously and that he performs with unmerciful efficiency and with points of sadism.
