Kender

Kender are a species not truly native to Earth. They seem to come from a world called Krynn, and a few small enlaves have made their way nto ours. Given their nature, their curiosity obviously got the better of them and they came through a portal of some sort. What is known about them on their own world is as follows:
During the mythical origins of Krynn, Reorx, god of craft, indulged in an age of unfettered creation. Many peoples sprang from his divine forge., but not all among them remained as the god created them. Altered by unfettered magic, a group of Gnomes were transformed, and given almost supernatural curiosity, and fearlesness. They were the first kender.
Originating on the world of Krynn, kender are diminuative Humanoids who look like humans with pointed ears and diverse appearances. Kender have a supernatural curiositythat drives them to adventure. Due to this inquisitiveness, many kender find themselves falling through portals to other planes and worlds.
Kender sometimes amass impressive collections of curiosities. Some may collect mundane knick-knacks or relics from magical sites, while others may become professional thieves.

Only a few Kender have came through portals to Earth, and they have set up small enclaves in many of the larger settlements. A smaller number have hamlet-like settlements in places close to areas settled by Gnomes.  All regularly travel around looking for adventure and regularly get involved with local thieves guilds. In the latter case, they act as associates and goods pass between the both, along with information.
The communites that exist are slowly but steadily growing as birth rates increase. Some go as far as adopting local customs, as well as political & religious customs too. The longest surviving enclaves are found in Londinium, Parisius, Aachen, and Wien. Londinium has the largest, and a number of Kender are moving out as travel becomes much more regular, especially as trade increases between different nations.
