-====== Gods ======
-There are four categories of beings who hold power over the very fabric of reality in Yarth. These beings are collectively known as "gods." They struggle against one another in very real ways for the hearts and minds of the mortals who live on Yarth.
-===== Dead Gods =====
-Before the time of mortals, the world of Yarth was in the possession of a number of gods who were defeated by the Old Gods for possession of the world. These beings would subsequently be imprisoned and forgotten in time. Every so often, their existence is learned by mortals and a form of worship allows them to return to a semblance of power. Some monsters created by these Gods in ancient times still exist, asleep or locked away from civilization. One such minion of the dead gods is a colossal undying monster who slumbers deep beneath the surface known as The Tarasque.
-===== Old Gods =====
-These deities have been worshiped since mortals have taken control of the world of Yarth from the ancients. These deities  and the cleric domains that they represent are:
-===== New Gods =====

-  * [[sunchild|The Sunchild]] - Light
-  * [[Doe]] - Life
-===== Outer Gods =====
-A number of powerful entities deities hold power over the world that are not native to Yarth.
-===== Superstitions =====
-  * Don't eat leavened bread on the Eastern Oceans or else the sea monsters of the Carbean Islands will emerge and try to feed on your vessel.
-===== Metaphysics =====
-The material plane of Yarth is mirrored in both a negative and positive way by the Shadowfell and Feywild respectively. There is a wide [[Astral Sea]] that then separates these planes of existence from more distant conceptual planes where celestials, elementals, and fiends emerge. Some say that many of the gods themselves exist in these distant planes, but there is arbitrary and conflicting accounts and evidence depending on the mortal source of any information about what lies across the [[Astral Sea]].
-====== Cosmology ======
-The Istuban Calendar of Yarth is made up of four seasons of a dozen seven-day weeks, each divided by a festival week.  Years are counted from the founding of Kingtown. There are a dozen major constellations in the sky that make up the zodiac, as well as over a score lesser constellations. Other celestial bodies include Yarth's two moons, and five planets that cross the sky each named for one of the [[Dead Gods]] that some believe once created Yarth.
-====== Culture ======
-===== Languages =====
-Some of these languages are actually families of languages with many dialects. For example, the Primordial language includes the Auran, Aquan, Ignan, and Terran dialects, one for each of the four elemental planes. Creatures that speak different dialects of the same language can communicate with one another.
