Yrth

Yrth is a fictional planet featured in the GURPS role-playing game setting. It is a world similar to Earth in many ways, with a diverse geography, varied cultures, and a long history. However, Yrth also possesses a significant amount of magic, which influences its societies and inhabitants.

The presence of magic on Yrth is pervasive. It can manifest in individuals as sorcery or divine power, and it permeates the very fabric of the world, affecting flora and fauna. This magical element has led to the development of distinct magical traditions and institutions, such as academies and guilds, which play a crucial role in many societies.

Yrth is home to a wide array of sentient species, including humans, elves, dwarves, goblins, and many others, some of which are unique to the setting. These races often coexist, sometimes peacefully, sometimes in conflict, their interactions shaped by their cultures, histories, and the ever-present influence of magic.

The history of Yrth is marked by periods of great upheaval, technological advancement (often intertwined with magical discovery), and the rise and fall of empires. The setting encourages exploration of these historical events, offering a rich tapestry for storytelling and adventure within the GURPS framework. The planet's diverse environments, from bustling cities to untamed wilderness, provide a backdrop for a wide range of narrative possibilities.
