The Moot

The Moot

An area in the fictional "Warhammer Fantasy" setting, the Moot is the homeland of the Halfling race and part of the Empire.

The Moot is mostly farm land and produces much of the food for the Empire. The leader of the Moot is the Halfling's representative in the Electoral College that selects the Emperor.

History

The Moot was decimated by the Orc warlord Gorbad Ironclaw and his armies in the 18th century. The Great Halfling Uprising occurred in 2502 and was mercilessly crushed by the crazed Elector Count of Averland, "Mad" Marius Leitdorf, at the Battle of Nearstream where the Halfling troops were routed and slaughtered. [White Dwarf issue 314 p.90-93]

On a lighter note the inhabitants of the Moot are the Halfling race, who enjoy good food over anything else. They are known for their skill with a bow and notable valour in combat when the food stocks are under attack.

Halflings are possibly based on the Hobbits from Tolkien's work, and the Moot is described much like the Shire.
