This paper gives a description of a world that got a rather strange population due to some experiments of the gods. The gods of this world like to experiment, are very meddlesome and like to mess with the course of all things. This has dramatic consequences now and then. In the perspective of the gods it is then a farce in which you can manipulate the course of events yourself.
If you don't want to be a victim of their divine games it's better to keep away from people who draw their attention. This can only been done if you surround yourself with people that worship the gods in a very average, common way. As soon as you are around someone that uses magic, you know this person might draw to much attention because honouring the gods is the way to get the powers. This often leads to conflicts between protecting yourself from the gods and having their powers to aid you.
The most dominant race are the cunicul's (rabbit like humanoids) who have only one talent to make up for all their lacks, multiplying. The cunicul's have taken over large pieces of the world since they're relatively late creation, the influence they gained differs a lot from place to place. They tried to subjugate everybody, but not without resistance although this seems to be settling down, regularly in a sort of compromise situations with them being province leaders, not always with consent. Due to this a class system has formed in the regions controlled by the cuniculs, that is mainly based on size, the bigger you are the lower you're on the social ladder. In the cunicul species itself there is also an additional ranking that depends on your parent's status and your looks.
Of course there are also couple of exceptions to this rule such as concerning some Fey creatures, vosjes (fox like humanoids) and the dwarfs.
The cunicul's try to avoid the dwarfs as much as possible; they have a strange fear of them. The fey often use sorcery, the cunicul's fear it because they can hardly master it, but some fey have been integrated in their system.
The vosjes were created just after the creation of the cunicul's and have been there main enemy ever since, so now that the cunicul's live in city's and rule the world the vosjes are not wanted in their communities.But they can’t keep them completely out of the cities.
The governmental structure on the world is feudal, within the area's ruled by the cunicul's this method of ruling and the implications of it are carried out to the extreme. This often causes wars about succession and a constant urge to extend the area of influence. This is partially caused by the great amounts of children that every cunicul has, because most of them want to inherit the whole estate.
The cunicul's tend to take every opportunity to have a festival. Because of this there's always a group of people on the road who earn their living by working on festivals, some are traders, others are artist or gladiators. The higher an organizer of a festival is on the social ladder the more famous you have to be to be allowed to perform on the festival. Most adventurers of this world earn their living like this. A festival is also the place where quests are given, because then there are people around that are able to do the job, apparently adventuring skills are very useful for entertainment as well, or the other way around of course. The gnomes, very good friends of the cuniculs, usually take care of announcing and marketing the festivals.
The groups that oppose against the cunicul domination and the sorcerers usually try to merge and hide in the group of festival performers for their own reasons:
-The wizards want to avoid prosecution by the cunicul's for violating the law against sorcery. They do so by moving around in the crowed a lot so the cunicul's don't associate them with 'strange things' happening and by telling the cunicul's the things they see are just 'simple harmless tricks'.
-For the resistance the festivals are the perfect way to get to places and gather information/data they need.
About the geinwortels (carrots with a face that talk a lot), after which this world is named, is it very obscure what their role is in the whole situation. Stories about them come from all ages, and still people have been unsuccessfully attempting to determine what they do. It is not known what they can do, they just sit in the ground and talk to everything they see. They seem to appear here and there from one day to another and nobody knows how they get there. Before the cunicul's took over the world they were sometimes exhibited on festivals as curiosa but nowadays that doesn't happen anymore. The cunicul's find them a delicacy.
