Toxandria

"Bordering the coastal cities of Holtland and south of the Frysk giants lay the woods of the Coubouters. Here their kings dwell in the hills, ruling over the forests and know all who dwell among the trees. The Coubouten prefer to live away from the human cities of Holtland, retreating into the forested hills as Holtland expands. In the woods among the animals the Coubouten lamented their faith till they found a new power deep within the woods. This Awakened God told them they should flee no longer. They would lead them to conquer all the forests in the world as their new home. They would teach humanity and all other races that favored cities to stay out of the forests.

Now the scouts that wandered the countryside march across the lands looking for enemy temples to plunder. The jonkheren no longer marshal the militia because a pack of hungry wolves was sighted but because another city has been declared an enemy to the Awakened God. The Coubouten now march in a holy war against the civilized races."

Toxandria was an idea that's been bouncing around my brain for a while now. Finally had the inspiration to finish it. It's a nation based on folklore around gnomes from the Low Countries. They're a hair smaller than hoburgs but less interested in food. Instead they're highly sneaky with an empathic connection to animals.

Mechanically they're tiny but strong with high stealth, a focus on polearms and strong Glamour magic. They suck at building forts that keep out the big folks but at least you're getting a bunch of flavorful events. Coubouten are after all excellent thieves. Gems, gold, magic items, if it can fit in your basket why wouldn't you take it?

Yes it's another EA nation. And I gave in to peer pressure, you now got new pretenders.
