LoZompatore’s Snartan Migrations

Michele contributed an overview article and map to Alex Benson’s discussion of Pedhardt gnomes at The Piazza. Although the original topic was about the Pedhardts, Michele’s write-up was focused on the Snartans — although of course both cultures do intersect in the history.

The Snartans and their Earthshakers continue to be a popular topic in the community, and this map visualising Michele’s conception of their history was a great step to giving them more coverage.
