Earth is the third planet in the Solar system.
History
Earth, sometimes referred to as Terra, orbits the Sun, also called Sol, and has one satellite devoid of life, called the moon, or Luna. It formed approximately 4.5 billion years ago, and life has existed here for at least 3.5 billion years. Currently, it has several large land masses including North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia and Antarctica. The rest of the planet, some three-quarters of it, is covered in oceans.
Earth is home to the Three Races: gargoyles, humans, and Oberon's Children. In the past it was also the home of the Lost Race. It contains a plethora of plant, animal, and other life. Gargoyles in particluar are connected to the natural bio-rhythms of the Earth as it governs their sleep and breeding cycles. The magical island of Avalon is also tied to Earth.
Earth is not the only planet with life, sentient or otherwise, as there exist aliens such as the N'Kai, the Space-Spawn, and another race involved in their war. However, life-bearing planets are apparently quite rare in the Milky Way Galaxy.
At some point before 2198, Earth will found colonies elsewhere in the solar system, but none further out.[1] Also by this time, domed cities will be built on the ocean floor.
Nokkar, a sentinel of the N'Kai, maintains a post on Earth. Nevertheless, in 2198 Earth will be conquered by the Space-Spawn and absorbed into their empire.
