Kleppin are an incredibly diverse lineage of small fur- covered humanoids with features resembling a multitude of woodland animals. Some sport thick bushy tails and cherubic cheeks, like the common squirrel, while others have tall pointed ears and long feet, like a meadow hare. Still others hold resemblance to badgers, beavers, or raccoons. Regardless of what critter they might resemble, they are all kleppin and hold the same fiery spirit known as others of their kind.

Though small in stature, the kleppin are far from skittish or timid as their appearance might lead some to believe. Kleppin settlements often host small but masterfully trained squads of warriors who are experts in ambush tactics that hobble enemy forces well before they reach the palisade gates. Kleppin know their territory inside and out, above and below, and rarely does anyone approach without their notice. Those kleppin who do heed the call of adventure, or have it thrust upon them, often find work as trackers, guides, druids and rangers where their connection to the natural world can be put to full effect.

===Kleppin Culture===
===Kleppin Culture===


Much like the Hondu, kleppin societies often embrace the natural world and build their cities as compliments to the environment rather than forcing dominance. Mighty trees host huge cities of residences while vast tunnel systems below the roots teem with industry. Natural defenses are supplemented with growths, deadfalls, and palisades. Kleppin art and literature exemplifies their cultural heroes and spins even the most mundane tale into epic fables with notable lessons.
