Lightfoot Coalition
Here you will find hobbits, halflings, gnomes and other gentlefolk all living together with the common goal of enjoying life to the fullest. During the day they work in windmills, farm the lands, hunt, fish and forage foods from the relaxing foothills. Once work is done, there is music, laughter, gambling, games and more alcohol than normal folk should be drinking at one time. They work the lands, living life to the fullest and never pass up on the opportunity to eat, drink and make merry.
Most of their Kingdom's money comes from exporting pipe weeds, food, wines and ales to the other Kingdoms. This does offer them some security, if they were ever invaded, then there would be no one to farm the lands resulting in a massive food shortage, which was another reason these peaceful laid-back folk decided to form the Lightfoot Coalition. Safety in numbers and more people to drink with!
Among the numerous farms, breweries, vineyards, gardens, fields and orchards you will also find some of the best music schools. Music, performing arts and even poetry is part of the lifestyle, what’s better than a drink and a show? It's fairly common to see almost any of the races as long as they can live the lifestyle without causing trouble. Bards and other entertainers from all walks of life come here to learn and practice their arts. Fishing is also a part of the coalition; you will find many fishing boats and a wide range of southern seafood dishes.
While visiting here, it's highly recommended to not cause trouble, they may be outgoing and peaceful, but they will not tolerate any sort of fighting or hostility. For the most part, they’re relaxed and dislike having guards around, so their militia wear normal clothing with Blue and White colors. This helps with the appearance of not having guards while ensuring when something goes wrong there is always someone nearby to solve it swiftly, enabling the fun to continue. It’s estimated that they do in fact have a fairly large army if ever needed, the shorter races ride on trained combat wolves and the taller races riding foothill horses that are known for their speed. The army itself isn't all strength, its incredibly fast moving, agile, ranged and employs highly unpredictable tactics.
If you're in need of a holiday, then look no farther than the Lightfoot Coalition. They’re always happy to take payment to host the many fine rooms or cottages for rent. You will find some of the softest cotton clothing made here, the best wines, ales, pipe weed, and amazing music instruments for sale. Gambling of all kinds including the ever-popular wolf races is also provided. Gentlefolk are very welcoming of outsiders understanding all too well the money made from tourism. They sometimes will refuse others entry into their Kingdom if they look overly aggressive, a troublemaker and even worse yet… someone that does not smoke or drink.
