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.
 
Urth has one natural satellite, [[Olune]], also known as simply "the Moon."
 
== Etymology ==
The word Urth was adopted into Staynish in the 1st-2nd centuries ADCE after the Impelanzan word "Urtia". Urtia is the name given to "the place where life grows" in [[Tunseism]], the official religion of the [[Impelanza|Impelanzan Empire]], and it'sis an evolved form from the archaic terms "Hurtia" and "Hortia.", whichThese couldcan be explained as the world conceived as a "hortus", an orchard where plants, and thus, life grows. This matches with the Tunseist conception of Urth "as the designed place by Tunsé for gods and all life beings to reside and grow".
 
== Continents ==
ThereBy the most common conventional count, there are fiveseven 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]]''' is an oblong continent located in the southern half of the eastern hemisphere. Aurora has the world's most-active continental bloc, the [[United Nations of the Auroran Continent]], that arose in part from the ashes of the [[Auroran-Pacific War]]
'''[[Aurora]]'''
 
'''[[Arcturia]]'''
 
'''[[Concord]]'''
 
'''[[Gondwana]]'''
 
'''[[Arcturia]]''' is a continent located to the west of Aurora and to the south of Yasteria.
'''[[Novaris]]'''
 
'''[[Concord]]''' is a continent located to the west of Yasteria and to the northwest of Arcturia. Most of its landmass is taken by [[South Hills]], although the continent is also home to [[Norgsveldet]] and is seen as the political base of power of the [[Union of Commonwealth Alliances]].
'''[[Sempiterna]]'''
 
'''[[Gondwana]]''' is located in the southern half of the western hemisphere, and is home to significant expanses of rainforest. The Feline species evolved and is primarily located here. The western portion of Gondwana, separated from the east by water, is called Alaria and is considered by some to be a sub-continent of Gondwana.
'''[[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.▼
 
'''[[Novaris]]''' is located in the northern half of the western hemisphere and has a varied climate that reaches from the tropics to the Rotantic circle. Home to the [[League of Novaris]], the continent has long been a crossroads between colonists from outside the continent as well as several native world powers.
=== 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. [ [[wikipedia:citation needed|citation needed]] ]
 
'''[[Sempiterna]]''' is the only continent on Urth with no permanent sentient inhabitants and is almost completely covered by the Septiterna Ice Sheet, a massive cap of ice. By international agreement, no nation can claim any part of Sempiterna as its sovereign territory.
'''[[Borea]]'''
 
▲'''[[Yasteria]]''' is... Itthe largest continent on Urth by total land area, and canis beoften broken up into subcontinentssub-continents: [[Yasteria|Yasteria Major]], [[Yasteria Minor]], [[Southeast Yasteria]], [[Borea]], and [[Itur]]. The last two are considered continents in their own right by some.
'''[[Itur]]'''
 
== Oceans ==
Urth has fivefour oceans: the Pacific Ocean, the Concordian Ocean, the Southern Ocean, and the Packilvanian Ocean.
 
== Species ==
[[Aurian|Aurians]], [[Elves]], [[Dwarves|Dwarves,]] [[Felines]], [[Humans]], [[Nekomimi]], [[Lupines]], [[Lutryne|Lutrynes]], [[Ursines]], and [[Vulpine|Vulpines]] are the sentient species on Urth. Of butthese, Humans are the most populous and are sometimes called the "dominant" species thaton withUrth. theirThe geneticevolutionary ancestrylink tracedbetween backHumans toand other species, such as the NekomimisElves, Dwarves, and Elves.Nekomimi, has proven to be a complicated and highly contested topic of study, and the scientific community has yet to reach a consensus on the matter.
