Folk

Standing about 5 inches tall, the Folk live on a peaceful, untouched island marked by wildlands, rich forests, and rocky promontories, with a cold maritime clime. The Folk themselves are human-shaped, but have any number of strange changes, from unusual coloring to bird feet to many glowing eyes to extra, spidery limbs.

Their world is very small, and the issues they face are also reduced. They argue over the distribution of berries, the order they take in ceremonial processions, how to award purely reputational prizes in baking competitions. And, sometimes, they face more serious issues, such as control of invasive bullfrogs, response to heavy snow or wildfire, or poor harvest of the glowing mushrooms they rely on for light.

Basically, Icelandic village life in the context of tiny magical beings.
