History

 

Early history

The Shortstraws started off as a family with an identity crisis. Their founder, Gary Shortstraw lived in the vale in a time where the small population had to work together to do everything, Gary farmed, was the town drunk, and helped out one of the Elders' sons when he decided he wanted to dress like a rabbit. Gary found himself a "Goo' enough 'obbit ladeh" to have some children with, her name was Daisy Shortstraw and she died after the birth of Gary's third son, Toto Shortstraw.

 

Magic

Gary got the news one day of a spooky scary abandoned hobbit hole at the top of the mountain protecting the vale in Anthos the day he was given a job as deputy of the vale. After he took some time to celebrate with some ale Gary traveled to the top of the mountain to go into the hole. When he got in there he found some books on the art of  Earth magic left behind by a great wizard and a member of the Yir'sari. Gary began to read these books in this spooky hobbit hole, he closed the hole off to the public and spent many years reading while patrolling the village, and drinking with his good friend, and most famous local drunk Posco. After a night of drinking, Gary went back to the abandoned hobbit hole and stumbled into one of the bookshelves and a door opened which lead to a large tower where the great wizard once lived. The books he found allowed him to study more on the history of earth magic and grow his power even more. 

 

Legacy of law

th' pancakes law" A law which prohibited halflings from wasting all of the wheat on making too many pancakes so they could be better cooks, an achievement Shortstraws still talk about to this day.
