Terra is the second planet in orbit around [[Sol]], though it shares this distinction with [[Siur]]. Terra is home to four races of humanoids comprising several nations. It is the default starting point for standard campaigns of Elemental D6

\\
====Terran perspective====
From the perspective of sentient terran humanoids, Terra is their home, and the only planet known to have sentient life. They believe that plant life may exist on other planets within their star system, but have no evidence of this. There is no public record of any terran leaving Terra, nor is there any known way of doing so, as Terran's believe that space is inhospitable due to very low temperatures and oxygen levels

\\
====Races of terra====
Terra is home to four distinct humanoid races which have a high degree of interaction and are, to varying degrees, scattered across Terra's continents

  * [[Baumeni]] - Plant-like humaniod which live long lives and have a deep connection to nature
  * [[Carragh]] - Mountain dwelling rock-like humanoids which have highly structured societies
  * [[Humans]] - The most populous humanoids on Terra, humans traits vary wildly 
  * [[Ulfar]] - This canine humanoid race is primarily nomadic and has a virulent warrior culture
