Gimblewood is a secluded village where the race of the halflings dwell. The village was founded upon the halflings landing in Athera among the other races. Unlike any other city on the continent, the village is quaint and hilly. It is surrounded by a thick forest and centered around a large lake. Above the small burrows of the hobbits looms a massive mountain, nicknamed The Lonely Mountain.

Governing Body

Upon landing the halflings were led by three elders, Fumble Willowbottom, Rupert Herbwallow, and Petrus Frondor. After a few years of dwelling on the continent Rupert stepped down and Garmel Fitzgibbon took his place. Garmel's time as Elder wasn't very long as soon the village voted to abolish the Elder System and replace it with the more fitting (and simple) Mayor system. The Mayor upon this switch was Fumble Willowbottom and his Sherriff was Thimble Clearwater (Both halflings from Anthos).

Housing

The halflings of Gimblewood live in cozy holes in the ground known as burrows, much alike the burrows in the past each one was made to be cozy and comfy, most handcrafted by Milo Herbwallow.

Festivals and Holidays

The halflings of Gimblewood host numerous festivals throughout the year. And a few celebrate holidays of halfling culture. Pumpkinween, Knoxmas, and the Knoxgiving Fest. Some festivals include Gimblefest, Lakefest, and Halfling Fest.
