The Halfling Uprising

The Halfling Uprising
It was a long standing tradition that each firstborn of distinguished Hobbit families were to be delivered to the Half-Giant and Ogre clans of the Kingdom known as the Bulbmasters.

In the year 939 of Kingdom reckoning, the Hobbit Shires formed a secret gathering to conspire against the Bulbmasters. An entire crop was lost when war was declared throughout the Kingdom upon the Giants while they were busy excavating the root bulbs. The war was unsanctioned by the King.

Great vengence was wrecked upon the unsuspecting Bulbmasters. They were all beheaded, down to the last child and their large heads carefully carted to the inner-kindgom and strewn about the bloody land. The druids were not impressed and at the end of the day, the Elves volunteered to clean up the mess.

Ever since the uprising of 939, no crop has since been lost at the hands of the new Gnomish Bulbmasters.
