The Ennant

an illustrious Order of messengers and light couriers, the three-foot hares known as Fleetpaws, originating in Zanarrol before being expelled due to political turmoil nearly 200 years ago. They are not just typical sentient, talking Hares - they undergo a dangerous infusion by inhaling Mercury vapours. if it works - and they maintain their wits - then their silver fur, incredible speed across both road and rough terrain, and unending stamina, makes them the perfect couriers.

Structure

small enclaves of Zanarrol Hares live throughout the Isthmus, The Giteri, and northern Caracar, typically surviving in marginal land in close-knit warrens. without the ability to make (or even use) most tools, they rely on the money brought home by travelling Fleetpaws in order to trade with neighbouring communities for manufactured goods.
the Ennant itself is organised into a loose network following a nominal Grand Master, but except for training and inducting new recruits, the organisation exists overall only in as far as Fleetpaws recognise and aid each other as fellows.

Public Agenda

to carry messages, securely and quickly, to any destination. typically, their range extends from Reld to northern Caracar, but on rare occasions one may venture as far as Preet or Ashup.
Their services are not cheap, but their reputation is impeccable - a fact partly due to their stringent enforcement of their ethical standards.

History

Created as a result of the late-second-crisis splintering of the Order of Messengers and Wayfarers, with the many communities that relied on Fleetpaws for financial support upped and left the Commonwealth of Reld en masse and established themselves across the surrounding lands.

Foreign Relations

• able to pass through the Outer Regions of the Commonwealth of Reld, but generally unwelcome and not allowed to settle (though there are a few clandestine communities within this area). have a profound antipathy towards the hares that remained, and the government of the Commonwealth.
• not allowed to pass through the Pangol Empire, though a few brave Fleetpaws have made the run.
