Woollywugs

Woollywugs 1. What sets this group apart from the main society they came from?
Woollywugs are a subset of Bullywugs who, led by Lord Shind (a Dionysus like god of self-indulgence), left their lives of filth behind. Many generations ago Lord Shind led those Bullywugs who were tired of thieving and squalor to the out skirts of the Buggy Bogs. there he instructed them to become farmers of a rice, called Wooly, that grew wild in the Buggy Bogs. Then, through visions and dreams, the Woollywugs were inspired to cultivate an alcoholic drink called Woolyglug (basically sake). There they live out there inebriated lives peacefully. They grow lots of wooly (rice) and produce lots of woolyglug which they trade/sell for cheep and shiny prices. Unknowingly, they help feed a large part of the Mallovia's western inhabitants.
2. What aspects of the dominant society are still there or still influence them? The Woollywugs still live in mud huts, keep frogs of all sizes as pets, and speak the native bullywug language. They are simple and use very little machinery. They also retain their love of shiny things.
3. Who gravitates towards this group? Why would someone fall in with them instead of going with the mainstream? Scandals do happen where a bullywug leaves to join the Woollywugs, however it is uncommon. It is more likely for out siders who wish for a peaceful life, are cast out from their tribes, or are followers of Lord Shind to join the Woollywugs. These days the numbers of woollywugs are matched by a collection of lizard folk, kobolds, humans, and others.
the Woollywugs have a saying: “who sits and shares my woolyglug, I call buddy and woollywug.”
4. What is their relationship to the dominant culture? Are they tolerated? Accepted? Shunned? Persecuted? Formerly persecuted, but no longer. Once the Woollywugs began trading they acquired a noticeable account of shiny “wealth” which caught the attention of Bullywugs. They were frequently raided and their crops were heavily damaged at times. This unfortunately led to a halt in trading to the people who were beginning to rely on their wooly and woolyglug. The wealthy merchants sent out what the woollywugs considered divine retribution from Lord Shind (and perhaps it was) upon the bullywugs. Now, the other inhabitants of the Buggy Bogs mostly leave the Woollywugs alone.
Shunned. Bullywugs think that Woollywugs are fools and vice versa.
5. What can they offer to the players that can't be found in the mainstream? The Woollywugs have little to offer that can’t be found in the mainstream, their two commodities are heavily exported.
However, they have an important role in the economy and are a friendly face in the hostile Buggy Bogs. Those wishing to travel to the Buggy Bogs are likely to start near their village as the roads are well traveled and well kept.
6. You do you! many of the non-bullywug woollywugs have shady pasts, perhaps one of them knows something about something.
