Earth
Earth is the third planet in the Solar system. 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.
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 are particularly 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.
In Gargoyles, 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.
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.
