History[]
The first political entity that covered what would become the Small Country was the Small Province of the Gnomish Hierarchy, founded in 873 BA. In the aftermath of the Dragonwake in 470 AA, the halfling resident of the Province would be given autonomy as their gnomish overlords and soldiers retreated west to combat the kobold threat. Crowning a leader of their own, the Small Province became the Small Kingdom in 478. It would last until 979, falling to a Gawedi invasion just before the War of the Sorcerer-King. Afterward, all halflings would be divided under different rulers.
As the last independent halfling-led state by 1350, the Free-City of Viswall drew political malcontents and halfling romanticists. This would fuel a local proto-nationalist movement calling for halflings to rise up and unite the Small Country, culminating in the failed Viswall Rebellion of 1421. Despite this, pan-halfling sentiments remained, simmering until the Small Country Rebellion of 1550.
