The Sweardælf (pronounced Sware-dalf) are a diminutive race who live mainly in the southwestern Kingdom of Kiskentay. Their societal and social mores differ little from their larger human counterparts, though they do economize on materials in that they can make most things much more inexpensively than humans, because they can make them half sized.
Sweardælf Variants
The Sweardælf have adapted into variants of themselves based on a combination of culture, tradition and ethics. The Borgainælf are the most culturally entrenched with their philosophy and culture setting the groundwork for Sweardælf society. The other varieties of Sweardælf are largely those who have traditionally shunned the mainstream philosophy and large populations in general to live their lives on their own terms. The Scraefælf are the most visibly differentiated because of a genetic predisposition toward albinism.
Borgainælf
The Borgainælf (pronounced Bor-gan-alf) like to bargain. More specifically, they like to borrow things. More specifically than that, they like to borrow things without first asking permission as to whether that thing may be borrowed. This genetic leftover in their character certainly must stem back to their hunter-gatherer days, where things were gathered without a specific need or purpose. They were gathered for some possible need in the future.
The "borrower" Swaerdælfes can be found in great numbers in any of the cities in the country of Kiskentay.
Fyrthælf
The Fyrthælf are a forest-loving variety of the Sweardælf.
Geardælf
The Geardælf (pronounced gar-dalf) are the garden variety Sweardælfes.
Scraefælf
The Scraefælf are rarely seen on Otan's surface.
Half-Sweardælf
The Half-Sweardælf ...
Sweardælf Countries
Protectorate of Kiskentay Home of the Sweardælf.
5e Equivalence
When translating the Sweardælf to be played in Dungeons & Dragons, a playable Gnome race and racial variants following those in this Wiki can be found in the official Player's Handbook.
Player Notes
Sweardælf... what's up with those guys.
