Hmm... now how to fit this in with the rest of Elyria. Northern wastes -
they are a bit from the center of the action, but there is the goblin 
kingdom, and
this might be an offshoot of theirs. Wooden helicopters? Somehow I just
can't imagine how that would fit in. If they have difficulity producing 
food,
they can't have a relatively high level (highest on the continent!) of 
technology
- there's no spare time or resources to develop technology, and it 
sounds like
they are a relatively small bunch.

Overall, a nice, kind of classic gnome-society - but it has 
difficulities fitting in
with the rest of Elyria.
