The Grippli

The Grippli are an emerging race in the New World. Endlessly energetic, they desire nothing more than to establish their place as one of the major races. They do not seek to rule the world, merely to assert their rightful position as a dominant species. After all, what other mortal race can jump as high as a Grippli or swim as fast? They are a race of optimists, confident that they will become as important as the Humans, Elves and Dwarves that seem to run the world. How can they be so confident about this? Why, they’re Grippli and everyone knows that the Grippli are great!

Grippli island, about 12 miles north of the colony, is home to one of the largest Grippli populations in the New World. Once imprisoned by the Water Spirit, they have recently been loosed upon the world for reasons known only to the Water Spirit. The majority of the island is taken up by a large stone enclosure that encircles the central bay. Numerous caves line the sides of the enclosure that make up the homes of the Grippli. The enclosure has an opening in the ceiling, forming a skylight in the center of the bay. Despite their relatively peaceful nature, dozens of grippli hunters and mystics guard the island, keeping an eye out for raiders.
