It can be speculated that the Terics Academy is named for the same Terics who is the ancestor of the e'Terics Dragon lineage, and that this person must have been a military strategist or at the least an important general. This might also be the same Terics e'Marish'Chala mentioned by Paarfi as having assisted Sethra Lavode in turning back an invasion from Elde Island during the Fourth Iorich Reign.
