Kender

To the other races, kender are the child-race of Krynn. The diminutive kender have short attention spans, intense curiosity, and a fearlessness that serves them well in battle, but often lands them (and those traveling with them) in danger. Kender live a carefree existence where every new day is a day of wonderful secrets just waiting to be discovered. Their most defining character traits are their insatiable curiosity and their utter fearlessness, which makes for a frightening  combination. All dark caves need exploring, all locked doors need opening, and all chests hide something interesting. Young kender around the age of 20 or so are afflicted with ”wanderlust”, an intense desire to depart their homeland and set out on a journey of discovery. Almost all kender encountered outside the kender homelands are on wanderlust. Kender are tantalized by the prospect of the new and exciting, and only the most extreme circumstances force them to place their own self preservation above this pursuit. Even the threat of imminent demise does not deter kender, for death is the start of the next truly big adventure. The unquenchable curiosity of kender drives them to investigate everything – including other people's personal possessions. Kender appropriate absolutely anything that catches their eye. Physical boundaries or notions of privacy are both alien concepts to them, while the monetary value of an object means nothing to them. They are as likely to be more captivated by the feather of goat-sucker bird as by a sapphire. Kender are never happier than when their hands are in the pockets, pouches, or backpacks of those around them. Kender do not consider such appropriation to be thievery as others understand it (kender are as contemptuous of thieves as the next person). Kender term this  handling” or “borrowing” because they firmly intend to return what they pilfer to the proper owner. It's just that with so many exciting and wonderful things going on in their lives, they forget to give things back. Kender are at best bemused and at worst outraged at being accused of theft or pick-pocketing. Kender always give perfectly reasonable explanations for just about every accusation leveled at them.
