Editing 404: Gameworld (section)

=Where the Smallfolk Are=
Smallfolk can be found throughout the Forsaken Coast, but a number of (nearly) exclusive smallfolk communities stand out.

==Stead==
The largest smallfolk settlement with the greatest variety of smallfolk is the hillcountry of Stead. Halflings hold the clear majority in Stead, and there is a sizeable contingent of Kenku, but any sort of smallfolk might be found living there.

The nearest giant settlements to Stead are a clan of salt giants off the western coast, and the firbolg who inhabit the highcountry to the east. 

Being mischievous by nature, and the equivalent of smallfolk themselves among their giant kin, it was the firbolg shamans who laid the counterspell that protects the smallfolk from being subject to the Geas of Ignorance that clouds the minds of the bigfolk and causes them to ignore or forget the existence of giantfolk.

==Faen==
Faen is a community of gnome healers on the Faen river on the edge of the Maegwyd (Magewood in the trade tongue). Other smallfolk found in Faen are usually acolytes or patients, but the vast majority of the population is gnomish.

Rare in any settled land, the tabaxi may be found in their greatest concentration in the woods around Faen.

Forest giants and Oni dwell in the deep Maegwyd, far to the east of Faen. It is the Oni who laid the Geas of Ignorance on the bigfolk of the Forsaken Coast.

==Shevyn==
The second largest smallfolk settlement is Shevyn on the western edge of Shevyn lake on the the Shevyn river. Shevyn is a clear moiety of grippli and goblins with a substantial population of kenku and river halflings.

The nearest giant settlements are fog and bog giants that also make their home along the shores of the lake and river.

==Haal==
Far to the north, on the edge of the Torn stands Haal, a settlement as much carved into the mountains as it is built up around them, Dwarves rule the Haal with a respectable cohort of kobolds and goblins rounding out the community along with a small contingent of rock gnomes.

Many giant clans occupy the Torn, particularly stone, fire, dust, and cloud giants, but it is hill giants and ettin who dig their caves closest to Haal itself.
