Small Folk Culture

Small Folk (1.3)

Long, long ago, gnomes traveled from the “First World” (also called the Never Never or the Faewild) to settle on this world. Nestled in the hills and forests of the south, they prefer to live peacefully, at one with nature. They have slowly built up a loose confederation of cities, towns, and villages, and like to trade with the elves to their north and northwest. Many fae creatures that come across the natural tranquility found here decide to live among these gentle folk.
Around 50 years ago, the traditional homeland of the halflings was overrun by an army of undead. The surviving halflings were forced to flee across the ocean to the lands of the smallfolk. Here they made new lives and homes for themselves. No one knows why the undead army invaded their lands or why it stayed, but it looms as a constant threat to the future peace and tranquility to the rest of the Dawn Lands. Despite that, the fae, gnomes, and halflings live and work alongside each other.
