404: Gameworld
A note on naming conventions for this map: Each settlement shown shares its name with a local landmark, such as a river or a forest or a chunk of hill country.
So, where you see the town of Shevyn, for example, it is located on Shevyn lake in the middle of the Shevyn river, etc.
Game Premise
Bjoranshor is a land of giants. Nearly every giantish clan is represented, each living and thriving in the environments that suit them best.
Despite this plethora of giants, many others have settled Bjoranshor: elves, men, orcs, dragonborn, tieflings, and of course, the smallfolk.
Yet only the smallfolk know they live in an already occupied land. The bigfolk are hard pressed to take notice of a giant stomping through their village fields or walking up out of the sea. And if they do notice in the moment, the event is quickly forgotten.
Only the smallfolk notice without fail. Only they remember.
And so it is, when trouble arises from any of the giant clans, it is the smallfolk who are left to set things right.
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 largest variety of smallfolk is 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 several clans of storm giants off the western coast, and the firbolg who inhabit the highcountry to the east. Being mischievous by nature, and the equivalent of smallfolk among their giant kin, it was the firbolg shamans who laid the counterspell that protects the smallfolk from being subject to the geas that their larger brethren laid on the big folk that causes them to ignore or forget their existence.
