Diminutive Nomads of the Untamed Wilds

Habitat: Forest, Grassland, Hill; Treasure: Individual

Kinnen are a nomadic race of tiny fey creatures, renowned for their bravery. These 2-inch-tall beings live in close-knit tribes, where nightly feasts, songs, and dances mark both small and grand achievements. They adorn themselves in leather and hides crafted from the tiny creatures they’ve bested, each outfit telling a story of their exploits. Roll once on or choose a result from the Beast Motif table to inspire a kinnen’s appearance.
