	The first tribe was itself divided in specimens who were used as toys and servants by Medium-sized humanoids, and 'ferals' who lived between and under their homes, where they burrowed into the earth and hunted vermin.

'''Chi-Folken''' are a species of Tiny-sized [[Fey]], who are first ''formally'' mentioned in the article [[Little Horrors]], in [[Quoth the Raven Issue 31]]. Arguably, the main characters of the [[:Category:Chibiloft|Chibiloft]] comics have been featuring Chi-Folken from the start. Chi-Folken may be seen as metaphors for Medium-sized creatures, they may be considered to be real creatures with independent existence, or they might be both at the same time.

==History==
If they are accepted as real creatures, Chi_folken are divided in two main tribes: one which was accidentally created by a [[Wizard]] of the [[Prime Material Plane]] who was experimenting with a combination of [[Homunculus|homunculi]] with [[Fey]] [[blood]]; and one which was created by the [[Dark Powers]] based on the first tribe to populate [[Madego]].

The first tribe was itself divided in specimens who were used as toys and servants by Medium-sized humanoids, and 'ferals' who lived between and under their homes, where they burrowed into the earth and hunted vermin. This division ended when the envious genius [[Wudr]] attempted to commit [[genocide]] against the humanoids he saw as his people's oppressors, allowing the 'domestic' Chi-Folken to join the ferals in an exodus to the wilderness.

==Description==
Regardless their origin, Chi-Folken are Tiny-sized. They are bipedal and walk upright, and are usually rather round of head, with relatively short arms and legs. Although they have two eyes, their heads lack other visible features. Both their hands and feet have only three digits.

They may superficially resemble members of larger species, and display what looks like primary and secondary sexual characteristics, but Chi-Folken are actually sexless and their resemblance to any other lifeform is barely skin deep. They reproduce by having two or more individuals blend their [[blood]] with [[clay]], and sculpting that clay around a [[mandrake]]. The form of the child is a result of the "parents'" aesthetic choices, rather than genetics, and resembles the magical processes that go into the creation of [[Homunculus|homunculi]].

==Special Qualities==
Owing to their size, Chi-Folken are very buoyant, granting them a Swim speed, and can generate a ''feather fall''-effect once a day.

==Habitat & Culture==
The original tribe on the [[Prime Material Plane]] preferred to build their hmes underground, where they made their homes out of alchemically-reinforced [[glass]]. Once they had the opportunity to do so, they fled for pristine wilderness in order to avoid larger humanoids. Left to their own devices, the Chi-Folken hunted and ate [[vermin]], worshipped various ''[[Loa]]'' and [[Spirit|Spirits]] because they believed they were beneath the notice of the [[god|gods]], and focused on contentment.

While they initially mimicked the architectural styles of the other [[Domain|domains]], post-[[740 BC]] they have also started constructing buildings out of alchemically-reinforced glass.
