Görb

Görb is a fictional term used in collaborative worldbuilding to denote a planet, its language, and its culture within a speculative fiction setting. The concept has been developed through online writing projects and role-playing communities, where writers adapt Görb to suit different stories while maintaining core elements such as environment, inhabitants, and a distinctive linguistic system.

Görb orbits a binary star and is described as a geologically active world, with a crust that periodically deforms, creating vast canyons and subterranean aquifers. Its climate features long seasons, frequent dust storms, and high atmospheric pressure, conditions that shape its architecture and daily life.

The planet is inhabited by Görbians, a semi-aquatic people who build modular, water-friendly dwellings along river networks and coastal basins. Social organization emphasizes communal resource management and adaptive technology. The cultural calendar centers on flood and drought cycles, with crafts and music reflecting fluid environments.

The Görbian language, called Görbish, is described as agglutinative with a subject–object–verb order and a rich array of case markers. Phonology includes a glottal stop and uvular consonants. The writing system mixes syllabic and logographic elements.

Görb examples appear across fan fiction, role-play campaigns, and language-construction projects, serving as a sandbox for worldbuilding practices and collaborative storytelling. The fictional status is explicit within communities that use it, with no claims of real-world existence.
