DnD Urby Race

The Urby are wise and intel­li­gent beings. They love read­ing, col­lect­ing books, and are fond of board games – espe­cial­ly chess. Most Urby live in the mag­i­cal land of Gamm­bearia, with the excep­tion of the Ice Urby, who live along­side the Peng­folk in the frozen realm of Heard.

Types of Urby

There are five known kinds of Urby:

Brown Urby (Grizzly Bears)

These Urby are known for their love of music, domi­noes, and cud­dles. They have big hearts, enjoy good food, and are often the warmest and most wel­com­ing of their peo­ple.

Black Urby

The Black Urby are the most intel­li­gent of all. They spend much of their time read­ing, play­ing chess, or adven­tur­ing through Dun­geons & Drag­ons. Many of them become pow­er­ful Wiz­ards thanks to their sharp minds and thirst for knowl­edge.

Panda Urby

These war­riors are rec­og­niz­able by their gold­en armor. They are mas­ter hunters and have a fond­ness for bam­boo. Pan­da Urby are strong fight­ers, often serv­ing as the pro­tec­tors of their peo­ple.

Yellow Urby

A rare but beloved kind. They are friend­ly, wise, and deeply fond of hon­ey. Yel­low Urby are known as peace­mak­ers and are often sought out as advi­sors.

Ice Urby

These Urby live in the cold land of Heard, togeth­er with the Peng­folk. They too often wear gold­en armor and are excel­lent hunters. Despite the harsh cli­mate, they are strong, brave, and fierce­ly loy­al to their kin.

Gammbearia

Gamm­bearia is a mag­i­cal land filled with libraries, wiz­ard schools, and tall tow­ers where mighty Wiz­ards reside. It is famous for its tour­na­ments: chess match­es, D&D com­pe­ti­tions, and oth­er board games are part of every­day life.

Every ten years, the Gamm­bearia Cham­pi­onship takes place – a grand tour­na­ment where com­peti­tors face off in a vari­ety of board games for the crown. The win­ner becomes the new ruler of the land.

Gamm­bearia is the home to all the Urby except Polar Urby, who live on the island Heard.

Heard

The island Heard is the home to the Polar Urby or Ice Urby, which is a peace­ful and beau­ti­ful island with snow-capped peaks and sparkling ice caves. The Polar Urby like liv­ing there, since they have a restis­tance against the cold.

Polar Urby

The Polar Urby have a king, but there is a huge dis­cus­sion going on about who of them is the best king. This dis­cus­sion requires most of their dai­ly tasks, along with hunt­ing, eat­ing, sleep­ing and pro­tect­ing the land. Most­ly the one of the Polar Urby who is the strongest, wins the con­ver­sa­tion and gets to be king for the day.

Oth­er than that, these Polar Urby are mas­ter met­al­work­ers and forge their own armour, which is a source of great pride and essen­tial in com­bat. 

King Poeh Bear

The cur­rent king of Gamm­bearia is Poeh Bear. He is beloved by his peo­ple for his warm heart and end­less kind­ness. He is a mas­ter of board games – so far, almost no one has been able to defeat him. If some­one is sad, he will do every­thing in his pow­er to cheer them up. His favorite snack? Of course: hon­ey.
