Tallfellow - Drilsomb Remendi Smalnger

The elders of traditional Tallfellow-speaking communities often tell stories during communal meals, both to entertain and to impart wisdom. Many tales are about a legendary halfling hero named Drilsomb and her three traveling companions, who travel through a fantastic and highly improbable version of the ancestral halfling homeland in what is now the Kingdom of Azalia, to the south of their current home in the Patchwork. In addition to their entertainment value, the characters in Drilsomb tales and the methods they use to solve problems tell us a lot about hobind mores and their traditional way of life.
