Lilliputians

    by: Rokaido Author IconMail Icon
Lilliputians are the smallest race, but are arguably the toughest. They are courageous and tackle obstacles and challenges head on. In addition, the Lilliputians are the smartest and most innovative race. In contrast to being ahead in terms of technology, they are the most traditional of the three races. They form tight-knit communities who help each other in times of need.

Family is the most important thing to a Lilliputian. They are able to have many children thanks to their high fertility, which is sadly an evolutionary trait resulting from them having to replace their losses in the event of a Brobdingnagian attack. This high fertility allows for a high chance for more than one child to be born, up to six babies in the womb, women remain pregnant for only four months and they still remain highly fertile into their fifties. Lilliputians are not taxed at all in order to allow them to raise their families in peace. A Lilliputian family has an average of twenty two children. Lilliputian parents are very loving to their children and do their best to make sure their children live happy lives. Even in mixed-size families where it is challenging for the Lilliputian parent to care for their bigger children, they are 100% dedicated to caring for and loving them no matter what. Lilliputian parents are more than willing to sacrifice themselves to save their children in dangerous situations.

Another aspect of the traditional mindset of Lilliputians is how they treat relationships. Lilliputians tend to fall in love very quickly and marry very early, usually at age 19. A Lilliputian man and woman who marry become mates for life. They are completely dedicated to each other. Even when one dies, the other will never remarry as they feel it would be a great dishonor to their deceased spouse. Cases of divorce and affairs almost never happen in Lilliput.

Lilliputians are reluctant to share their technology with the bigger races for fear that it would be used against them, but have often been strong-armed into providing the bare minimum to their larger counterparts. So far, there hasn't been any consequences of this, yet... It is no secret that Lilliputians are terrified of Brobdingnagians and avoid contact with them as much as possible.
