For the last year, the setting I have been developing - Urbis - A World of Cities has been hosted on Eruvian.Com. But I have finally been convinced that I need to move it to a new home, since Eruvian.Com seems dead for all intents and purposes. Sure, the material is still available online - but there is next to no activity. And if I get no feedback, staying on this site is pointless for me.
Thus, I'm currently doing what I'm always doing under these circumstances - I'm creating a Wiki. You can find the Urbis Wiki here. I'm slowly moving all the material over. So far, I have finished the following sections:
I will post updates whenever I have transferred new material. Furthermore, I have also written some new material, most prominently my new take on devils and their home plane of Sheol, which I am rather proud of if you don't mind me saying it.
Furthermore, many pages now have a "Designer's Notes" section where I explain what I had in mind when I wrote a specific entry. Sometimes they also contain significant "spoilers" or setting secrets, such as the Races entry which explains my idea for the origin of the various player character races.
Finally, the wiki setup also allows others to contribute their own material to Urbis. The following steps are needed:
All "canon" material in the Urbis Wiki - material either written by me or approved by me - is written in blue. All "non-canon" material - material not yet approved by me - is written in green. Any material you submit to the Urbis Wiki is automatically considered "non-canon" until I approve it.
Thus, you must start any new additions to the Wiki with the following tag:
and end them with:
This will ensure that they are displayed in green, until I get the time to review them and change their status.

Finally, the wiki setup also allows others to contribute their own material to Urbis. The following steps are needed:
- Registering at Wikidot.Com.
- Registering at the Urbis Wiki - which unfortunately requires agreeing to a legal disclaimer, which I need to do since I do plan to publish Urbis commercially, and I really don't want to deal with lawsuits over this setting.
- Entering new additions to the Wiki. This works pretty similar to other standard wikis, with one significant, Urbis Wiki-limited exception:
All "canon" material in the Urbis Wiki - material either written by me or approved by me - is written in blue. All "non-canon" material - material not yet approved by me - is written in green. Any material you submit to the Urbis Wiki is automatically considered "non-canon" until I approve it.

[[span class="non-canon"]]
