They are known for their bravery and playful teasing, as well as their obsessive curiosity.  \nBorn of the Greygem The exact origins ofthe kender race are disputed – there are three popular accounts, which all in some way trace back to the Greygem of Gargath, Reorx’s vessel of Chaos. The dwarven myth states that when the gem entered Krynn, it worked its magic on a donsy of gnomes, turning them into the first dwarves and kender. However, the Irda would add that those transformed into dwarves encountered this fate because of their greed for the gem, whereas those who became kender wanted it out of curiosity. A third story states that in the final battle for the gem, some of the elven combatants wereturned into kender.  \nChildren of the World The most obvious aspect of the kender is their childish appearance and character. They are reasonably short, small-boned, and slender. However, by around middle age, they begin to develop wrinkle-like facial features, and this, paired with their pointed ears, gives them a rather elven look. They have a pale complexion, and hair (usually tied in a topknot) and eye colours similar to those of humans.  \nKender are known for their youthfully adventurous nature. They are courageous and inquisitive, and much more interested in the experience of a quest than  \nthe monetary rewards at the end ofit. They will often pick up any items they come across which spark their curiosity, and store them in their pouches. Whilst done innocently, this often earns them the title of“thief”, a label they abhor. They are also playful, and often rude, always ready with a witty remark or scathing insult.  \nMoot Culture  \nKender culture is focused on strong family relationships, through which the young learn the stories and skills which will allow them to flourish in the community. By their teenage years, kender are considered old enough to take part in Moots – gatherings where the adolescents play games and showoff any new skills. After this, most kender will leave home, experiencing wanderlust, and will spent most of their adult life adventuring.  \nThe Forgotten Realms Being non-native, kender are few and far between in the Forgotten Realms. However, some great adventurers, such as Emilo Haversack, have been able to cross the boundaries between the planes, and pass into the Realms. Most kender who have settled in the Realms can trace their lineage back to one of these heroes, and do so with immense pride.  \nKender live amongst the common people, who are generally accepting of them due to their friendly exterior. Whilst their tendency to ‘borrow’ is frowned upon, they are not treated with as much suspicion as atiefling or drow might be. In terms of breeding, kender will often marry","cbCaisLDYJh4YF2w","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisLDYJh4YF2w","pdf",1006548,"English","# Kender\n## Traits and behavior\n## Born of the Greygem\n## Children of the World\n## Moot Culture\n## The Forgotten Realms","[{\"question\":\"What traits define kender in the Forgotten Realms?\",\"answer\":\"Kender are childlike humanoids known for bravery, playful teasing, and obsessive curiosity.
