The dominant inhabitants of the Vale are small folk - halflings, gnomes, goblins and kobolds. Theirs is a world where the average person is three feet tall, which has a number of consequences. Ponies are the standard means of transportation; full-size horses are powerful and somewhat feared, used for the heaviest of labor. Sheep, goats and pigs are common farm animals, while cattle are rather more rare. Buildings, and by extension communities, have a smaller footprint. Orcs are huge and terrifying, standing twice the height of a full-grown halfling, while ogres are legendary in their size. | The dominant inhabitants of the Vale are small folk - halflings, gnomes, goblins and kobolds.

+ | The Vale is dotted with small communities, mostly a mix of the four dominant races. There is no central authority, no states or baronies, though the land may be divided into shires or boroughs. Each town is a semi-independent community, though towns will aid each other in times of trouble. In ancient times there is said to have been a king over the entire region, but only a few scholars even know his name these days. | ||
