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

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

Terra is home to four distinct humanoid species 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 species is primarily nomadic and has a virulent warrior culture

The inhabitants of Terra categorize the planet's land masses into six distinct continents:

• Aeye - Island archipelago between Aimsir and Saoirse
• Aimsir - The largest continent, home to Reithe, Yuanen, Gerth, Fiadh, Koraha, and Fjall
• Craic - Small continent to the northwest, home to the nation of Naer
• Gael - Broken continent to the southeast, home to nation of Gael
• Inis - Dual island continent in the east, home to nation of Liath
• Saoirse - Large northern continent, home to nations of Saor, Teagh, and Kilig

The inhabitants of Terra organize themselves into geopolitical groups. These nations have poorly defined borders in most cases

• Aeye - Archipelago covering the seas between Aimsir and Saoirse
• Fiadh - Coastal country of western Aimsir
• Fjall - Collection of Carragh and Human city states
• Gael - Broken continent in southeast Terra
• Gerth - Forested farmland east of Reithe
• Kilig - The largest community of Ulfar east of Saor
• Koraha - Desert nation on the northernmost coast of Aimsir
• Liath - Isolated island nation of Inis
• Naer - Loose federation occupying Craic
• Reithe - The largest nation of humans in the center of terra
• Saor - Native home of the Baumeni
• Sliabh - Federation of Carragh clans covering the length of the Great Mountains
• Teagh - Expansive country of western Saoirse
• Yuanen - Grasslands between the Great mountains and the west coast of Aimsir
