The Mother Country

After Doctor Gulliver disclosed the location of Lilliput and Blefuscu several ships from England came to collect samples, including our ancestors. We were pets, freaks, and novelties. We are descended from those who escaped.

The last we knew of Lilliput and Blefuscu was that a plague of English rats infested our ancestors lands slaughtering thousands.

However, we survive, and hidden in the cracks we even thrive. Now that technology has advanced as it has we can commandeer a boat and use automation to sail it to Lilliput and Blefuscu. We shall rediscover and if necessary rescue our ancestral homelands!

Basically, the Borrowers crossed with bold tales of exploration. The fantasy elements in this one are rather light, mainly just Lilliput and Blefuscu are real. A good alternative campaign in this framework would be simply escaped Lilliputians trying to survive in England. This would cross the Borrowers with Mistress Masham's Repose. The Lilliputians could meet the remnants of the fairies and become allies, see Lastborn of Elvenwood.
