===== MA Ind - Little Horned Men of Piconye =====
[[ind-ma#the vassals of magnificent ind | Back to MA Ind main page]]

Like the [[ind-ma-feminie | Lady Knights of Great Feminie]], the Little Men can be recruited from forts built in plains, farms, and some mountains.

Alongside the [[ind-ma-giants | Giants of the Lost Tribe]], the Little Men share the dubious honor of being the least impressive of Ind's vassals. The ??Piconye Scholar?? is proficient only at reading books, while the troops will not scratch troops with even moderate protection. To add insult to injury, Piconyean troops cost as much supply as beings twice their size! Piconye do however have a niche use as damage sponges due to packing six to a square and having elf-level defense, allowing them to stand their ground for quite some time after being painted with ??Body Ethereal?? and ??Luck??.

Every summer, all forts on Piconye land are attacked by a ??Strange Bird?? commander and their posse of 10d6 ??Strange Bird??s.

>A flock of strange birds have attacked Piconye, as they do every summer.
