It happens that few histories are written about the valor of mousefolk\u2014though many more should be\u2014yet they make appearances in legend all the same, their bravery cementing their place in history.[br]\r\nEven excluding the long and proud history of mouse-knights, few mousefolk are apt to fear either big folk or monsters. Mousefolk are good to their neighbors and rarely pick fights; after all, most folk can be reasoned with. Those who can\u2019t be reasoned with, however, should rightly fear mousefolk striking at their knees. Mousefolk do not suffer bullies lightly.\r\n\r\n[h1]Storytellers and Legend-Keepers[\/h1]\r\nThe mousefolk language, Rodentia, has no written form. Thus, mousefolk preserve their history in story and in song passed from elders to children through the generations. Their oral tradition is rich, filled with stories of grand heroics, shrewd tricks, and swooning romance. Indeed, many mousefolk live to see themselves preserved in the legends of their people, their deeds remembered in a grand epic for the ages.\r\n\r\n[h1]Hooded or Disgraced[\/h1]\r\nThough ratlings have long abandoned the old ways, a mouseling is never to be seen without a hood. Following ancient tradition, mouselings wear hoods they have sewn themselves at all times, except in the most dire of circumstances. A hood is a symbol of wealth and social standing, and is sometimes replaced with hats or other headwear when appropriate.[br]\r\nNone can say where this tradition originated, but mouselings hold to it strongly. If one is seen without a hood, it is a sure sign of disgrace and exile, the most personal punishment a village of mouselings can inflict.\r\n","source":"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/magehandpress\/spire-of-secrets","jsondata":"","tags":"","isShared":"on","templateId":"5520","blockId":"1138685","world":"9f58264c-0fbf-49ba-9619-eb9ca70a43fe","folder":"25834"}
