For the fact-finders among you…I need help! I’ve misplaced my copy of the Deed (yet again!) and thus can’t look this up. In the Deed (I think…may also require access to the Gird & Luap books), two gnome princedoms are mentioned. One is Aldonfulk. What is the other? A third shows up in Book III, but I’m suddenly worried that I gave it the name of the second (which is in a different location.)
I can think of a couple of places to check: Sheepfarmer’s Daughter, when the troop is being taken south to Aarenis, and there’s a brief explanation of the geography and mention of the gnome princedoms on the north side of the Dwarfmounts. And in Divided Allegiance, when Paks & Co. rescue the gnome merchants from captivity. There may be other locations, but I can’t think of them right now. (How I wish I hadn’t lost the old reference notebooks!!)

I believe I found the reference in Sheepfarmers Daughter. They mention Aldonfulk & Gnarrinfulk.
I cant find my copy of Divided Allegiance at the moment, so I cant look there.

I just found my copy of Divided Allegiance.
The rescued Gnomes are part of the Aldonfulk.

Thank you! That’s it! Gnarrinfulk. So my new princedom is OK. (Karginfulk, though their name changes in course of book due to change in prince. To a character’s surprise and dismay.)
Hurray for you!!!

Yeah–I remember Aldonfulk, because they were actually “on stage” where the Gnarrinfulk were (IIRC) merely mentioned as another gnome kingdom. Nobody mentioned the Karginfulk in the original books, for reasons that become obvious in Book III.
Their princedom was not in the “Gnome Hills” near the Dwarfmounts.

I didn’t even have to look it up, so I rushed to comments to tell you its Gnarrinfolk but of course someone else already had.
I don’t know why I remembered that either. I must reread Deed a lot. 🙂

I was thinking I remembered it was Gnarrinfulk, but I wasnt 100% sure, and thankfully I was able to find my copy to verify it.

Why not ask your agent to ask Toni to send you an e-copy of the two omnibi [i]Deed[/i] and [i]Legacy[/i]. In RTF so you can search them on your word processor.
For others they are $6.00 from Baen Webscritpions in many formats besides RTF.
Happy Christmas

I know this is late, but I was rereading the Deed last night and Journeyman Ebo is from Gnarrinfulk.
