To Lord McBrent,
Forgive my dishonorable actions I just wished to examine my position before fully exceptting this vassalage. I see now that it is best for me to take this position. So I wish to request that I be allowed to be your vassal. Forgive me for any troubles I have caused. The gnomes of the Farland accept your offer, and hope that we both prosper from it.
Your Vassal,
Harticus
Gnomes -
The Gnomes are a small race. Their average height is 3 Ft. They pray to the Goddess Gaia, Mother of Nature, and accept all other religions openly. They dream of one day controlling the sky with complex flying machines, and freeing al of their race from slavery. Since they were first discovered many other races have enslaved them, and used them to do all the work while they relaxed. The Farlands is the first place every to be home to the gnomes. Several years ago the gnomes there rebelled against the people who enslaved them. Their leader ,a gnome named Harticus, led the first attack on their masters. For six years the war raged, and Harticus lead his men into battle with him at the front of the army. Many battles were fought, many gnomes had died, but their oppressors were thrown from the lands, and the gnomes finnally gained a place to call home after many years of slavery there was now a beacon of hope for all gnomes, The Farlands. Thus a Kingdom arrised, and that was the start of the kingdom of The Gnomes of the Farlands. These gnomes are a proud, brave, and honest people who always have hope. They are great mechanics, and great farmers, but most of all they are a great race. These gnomes may only rarely shpw magical talent, but they do not need it to be a strong race.
