			== History ==

			At some point in the distant past, the continent was rocked by the experiments of [[Zalshir]], which changed the continental climate and created the [[Endless Waste]].

			An age of continental exploration began in the early 900s and resulted in [[Spice Road]].



			== Calendar ==

			Gurth is conveniently astronomically identical to Earth -- month names, lunar cycles, seasons, etc. The whole of the continent is in the northern hemisphere, though its southern reaches are nearly equatorial.

			An as-yet-undefined event caused the counting of years to begin about a thousand years ago.

			For example, campaign references to '''06'' means the year 1006. This also serves as a point of reference to our real-life play sessions by adding 1000 years. So, (unless otherwise defined), campaign events that took place in Gurth's '03 means we probably played that campaign in 2003.
