There would be *a lot* to say about the #LittlePeople, or #HiddenPeople!¹
Each country has several beliefs, sometimes very different one from each other, but this is one of those that can be found in many places, with different names.

Probably, the most famous version is the #Irish one, the Danann², or Danaan. In this #mythology, we can find many stories about several characters who twisted their destiny with the mortals' ones.

Similarly, a less noble version of a similar concept is from #England: they are often called pixies, or #fairies. This is a general term to indicate a universe of extremely diverse creatures, it depends very much on the region: they can be more helpful (as the Brownie³ from #Scotland), or even extremely dangerous (like the Cu Sith⁴, a ghostly dog from the Highlands).

Also, in all places, stories have been… Christianized, in the last centuries. For example, in #Iceland, it was said that the Hidden People were the children of Adam and Eve, who lied to God when He asked if she had any children. Since she was ashamed the babies weren't washed (baptized) yet, she lied, and the children escaped to a lake. From then, they lived in pools of water or in rocks… like #dwarves.

In fact, #gnomes, dwarves, #elves, and similar beings are pretty much all derived from the concept of Hidden People: some beings we can't properly see, but they are real indeed — we can *feel* it. And they have a huge power that should not be underestimated.

For anyone wondering, that word I keep using when I talk about my #Fantasy setting, "#Dwerg", is the Norse word which Tolkien repurposed as "Dwarf" when he was writing about the #Dwarves. I feel like it's good to shift away from a word which is associated in more modern contexts with "dwarfism". I'm not writing about people with dwarfism, I'm writing about dwergs, a fictional sub-species of humans.

My backlog is deep - let's change it up. I'm sure Deep Rock Galactic is a nice game.

Today, we go back in time like ... uh, over a year, for a little #DeepRockGalactic. In this #letsplay, we do some #multiplayer and tackle a couple of dives while we have yet to entirely figure out what we're doing. #youtube #games #videogames #dwarves

I know it's not everyone's cup of tea (some go for the full beard), but I've long liked the idea of Dwarven women from fantasy RPGs having muttonchops or similar sideburns.

Some bit of the Death Gate Cycle seemed to me to imply this, and it stuck in my head canon ever since.
