Teppywigs
A people of short stature and naive innocence, Teppywigs are known to be a joyous and happy people, often caught daydreaming as they wonder about their lives with gleeful ignorance. During the Dividing Wars, most Teppywigs closed themselves off in The Valley of the Unseen to escape the violence of the world beyond and as to not get dragged into the bloodshed. There they have hid for centuries, not knowing the war is over and not daring to go out to find out. Yet some Teppywigs chose not to stay locked up in the valley and left prior to its hiding, which has left a small population of them out in the wider world of Colabria. Their rare ability to heal has made many of these rare Colabrian Teppywegs well revered warriors and mercenaries unlike their counterparts in the valley who maintain their musical, whimsical nature.
