Urth is one of two astronomical objects in the Sular System of the Sombrero Galaxy in the Multiverse that is known to have liquid water on its surface, Urth being the only one that is known to host life. It is known that there are numerous planets in other star systems that feature intelligent life.

There are five continents on Urth: [[Aurora]], [[Arcturia]], [[Concord]], [[Gondwana]], [[Novaris]], [[Sempiterna]], and [[Yasteria]]. The title of "continent" is given by convention rather than any scientific definition.
Urth serves as the setting for nearly all regional roleplay actions in The East Pacific's roleplay or TEP Evolved. It essentially shares all the characteristics of Earth but in another galaxy.

Urth is one of two astronomical objects in the Sular System of the Sombrero Galaxy in the Multiverse that is known to have liquid water on its surface, Urth being the only one that is known to host life. It is known that there are numerous planets in other star systems that feature intelligent life, and Urth has been partly settled by at least one known extraterrestrial species, the Peregrin.


=== Continents ===
There are five continents on Urth: Yasteria, Gondwana, Aurora, Atlantia, and Antarctica. These continents are defined by convention not by any scientific definition. Yasteria is the largest continent in terms of area and population, and it hosts some of the world's great powers. Yet Yasteria is broken up as a continent into six separate landmasses: Yasteria Major, Arcturia, Antilla, Borea, Itur, and the Southeast Yasteria. Gondwana is larger than any component part of Yasteria. Every major landmass except Yasteria Major, Itur, Aurora, and Southeast Yasteria is dominated by uncivilized areas, and Itur and Aurora, are the only landmasses that have been entirely settled. Urth has five oceans: the Pacific Ocean, Concordian Ocean, Arctic Ocean, Southern Ocean, and Packilvanian Ocean.
'''[[Aurora]]'''


'''[[Arcturia]]'''
Aurians, Elves, Felines, Humans, Nekomimi, Peregrins, Lupines, Lutrynes, Ursines, and Vulpines are the sentient species on Urth but Humans are the dominant species that with their genetic ancestry traced back to the Nekomimis and Elves.


'''[[Concord]]'''
Long before recorded time the Nekomimi, a humanoid species with cat-features, spread across Urth from the land of Infinite Loop with their origins unknown. They where the dominate species of the planet and encountered many different species that had evolved long ago from their basic forms but had not expanded outwards into the world. They peacefully coexisted on Urth for countless generations until a genetic mutation happened within a Nekomimi tribe located in present day Arcturia that lead to their cat-features to gradually go away until they had no cat-features but their non-cat-ears either grew round at the top or instead had a point. This Nekomimi tribe started calling themselves Elves, derived from the Nekomimi word for point, and Human from the word for round. Over time the Humans outpaced the Elves and Nekomimis and spread across the world causing the other two species to be considered subspecies as their populations declined.


'''[[Gondwana]]'''
Vulpines, developed in Yasteria Major without ever expanding onto other continents.


'''[[Novaris]]'''
Lupines developed in Itur but similarly did not expand outward.


'''[[Sempiterna]]'''
Peregrins colonized a large portion of Southeast Yasteria, once known as the Malaysias, but has not had outward expansion beyond their sphere of influence. Not much is known about the true origin of the Peregrin people or why they picked Urth. They are from a star system on the other side of the galaxy but have genetic compatibility with the human species. One theory is that a Peregrin progenitor race may have done experiments with life on Urth but it's a very controversial theory that causes heated arguments within the scientific circles.


'''[[Yasteria]]''' is... It can be broken up into subcontinents: [[Yasteria|Yasteria Major]], [[Yasteria Minor]], [[Southeast Yasteria]], [[Borea]], and [[Itur]]. The last two are considered continents by some.
Aurians first developed within the northwestern islands of Arcturia before slowly spreading outward to the rest of the continent. While no outward expansion has ever taken place beyond exploration and mutual exchange of diplomats, expulsions of small to significant numbers of Aurians have occurred throughout the 19th to the 21th century by the Balistrian government, resulting in concentrated pockets of Aurians located in certain portions of the world.


=== Major Landmasses ===
Lutrynes
'''[[Alaria]]''' is the western half of Gondwana. Both landmasses are not connected by any land, but most see it as part of Gondwana, and therefore give it that name.

Urth has a population of approximately 7.4 billion, and it is estimated that 77% of that population is within the human species group.

This page (or section) is a work in progress by its author(s) and should not be considered final.
The Sombrero Galaxy, also known as Messier Object 104, M104 or NGC 4594.

Urth is one of two astronomical objects in the Sular System of the Sombrero Galaxy in the Multiverse that is known to have liquid water on its surface, Urth being the only one that is known to host life. It is known that there are numerous planets in other star systems that feature intelligent life.

Continents

There are five continents on Urth: Aurora, Arcturia, Concord, Gondwana, Novaris, Sempiterna, and Yasteria. The title of "continent" is given by convention rather than any scientific definition.

Continents

Aurora

Arcturia

Concord

Gondwana

Novaris

Sempiterna

Yasteria is... It can be broken up into subcontinents: Yasteria Major, Yasteria Minor, Southeast Yasteria, Borea, and Itur. The last two are considered continents by some.

Major Landmasses

Alaria is the western half of Gondwana. Both landmasses are not connected by any land, but most see it as part of Gondwana, and therefore give it that name.

Borea

Itur

Oceans

Urth has five oceans: the Pacific Ocean, Concordian Ocean, Southern Ocean, and Packilvanian Ocean.

Species

Aurians, Elves, Dwarves, Felines, Humans, Nekomimi, Lupines, Lutrynes, Ursines, and Vulpines are the sentient species on Urth but Humans are the dominant species that with their genetic ancestry traced back to the Nekomimis and Elves.
