Yurba is one of several important constellations (of a total of 99) which are used for nautical navigation, fortune telling, mythology, and some religions. Yurba is seen on the emblem of the State of Scurn. Yurba is the most easily seen constellation from anywhere in Lesser Galwyndor.
Yurba is also one of the twelve astrological signs. It covers the periods of 22 Senalus to 13 Calius.
Mythology
According to ancient mythology, Sherriva, the youngest and most beautiful daughter of Lyro, the god of reason and wisdom, was stolen by Rolick, the god of war, conquest, and bloodlust to serve as an example to mortals. Sherriva, being the offspring of the god of wisdom, managed to outsmart her captor and escaped. Lyro commissioned the great mortal hunter Yurba to find her, but she was never seen again. Lyro raised Yurba to the heavens so he could continue his search for eternity; he was given a spot with the most visibility.
Yurba became an important figure in nautical navigation, it is said, because Siser, the god of the sea, instructed sailors to use Yurba to navigate. He viewed Yurba as a constant reminder of failure.
