The Terces Society is a secret organisation that has sworn to protect the Secret. Their main enemy is the Midnight Sun, a group of alchemists who's only goal is to learn the Secret for themselves in order to gain eternal life.

The Oath of Terces[]

"I have a secret I can't tell nor ink;

Though it has no scent, it does often stink.

Though it makes no sound, it can make you roar;

When it's tasteless, I like it all the more.

Though it has no shade, it lacks not color;

Though it has no shape, no cause for dolor.

If you think you know it, you're incorrect,

And from you the Secret I will protect.

The Secret of Life is not stone nor cents,

For the Secret Sense is but a nonsense."



Trivia[]

- Terces is actually "Secret" spelled backwards. This is because, according to Mr. Wallace, "The early members found that whenever they said the word secret, it aroused too much interest."

- The Terces Society archives have been meticulously labeled by Mr. Wallace.

- Mr. Wallace used to work for Grandpa Larry and Grandpa Wayne. It is unknown whether Larry knows of the Midnight Sun, or even the Terces Society.

- The Oath of Terces is an oath that must be bestowed upon. You cannot join the Terces Society like you would a club, or a friend group. You must go through a process which is quite like knighting.
