Bramblekin

Here live the Bramblekin: tiny folk in villages of acorns. Nobody tells them what to do. You watch their stories unfold. EVERY BRAMBLEKIN IS AN INDIVIDUAL Each one is born with a random personality: aggressive or gentle, outgoing or shy, clever or simple, rebellious or obedient, brave or cautious, hardworking or idle. They juggle thirst, hunger, safety, duties, home and company. Every drink means a walk to the pond, until clans catch rain in cisterns and dig wells. They pair up, raise children who inherit traits and family names, grow old and pass away. FROM LONERS TO KINGDOMS Loners build tents from twigs. Groups form, share a home and hunt big game under a leader. Followers who dislike their leader may walk out, split off or challenge them. Clans grow into villages with a headman, a shared store and paid soldiers, healers, builders and scouts. Villages unite into kingdoms with a king, tribute and pledged soldiers. Neighbours ally or go to war, and swarms of invader spiders test every defence. A LIVING GARDEN Seasons turn, day follows night, and droughts, storms, floods and sickness make for good years and bad. Clans farm, fish, herd aphids, harvest honey, build granaries, palisades and stone walls, hold feasts, raise shrines and trade. Thief ants raid from a great ant hill that a kingdom's soldiers may storm for its eggs.
