Scrunt-Folk

The Scrunt-Folk are a race of beings known for their minute size and their hand in shaping human history.

History
The exact origins of the Scrunt-Folk are unknown, and for centuries scientists have struggled to figure out what creatures the Scrunt-Folk could have possibly evolved from. Many Scrunt-Folk elders insist that the Scrunt-Folk sprang up from the ground millions of years before Homo Sapiens emerged; however, The Order of the Sky Ghost insist that they know the origins of this species, but refuse to publicly discuss it.

Ancient History
Records of the Scrunt-Folk go back all the way to the beginning of the written language, which the Scrunt-Folk helped develop. Scrunt-Folk were common in Mesopotamia during the Akkadian Empire around 2000 BC.
