Description
First, a little backstory on the backstory....

Cattlekind are a nomadic race who roam the grasslands of their nation, The Prairie. Constant travellers, they have no permanent homes, and instead house their vast herd in wooden, covered wagons that they pull across the nation as they look for fresh grass to graze upon. Cattlekind believe in keeping life clean and simple and have a constant faith that the land will provide for whatever they may need. They are a sturdy breed, hard-working, down-to-earth, and ever grateful for all that Mother Fœnum has provided them. And having seen so much of what The Prairie has to offer - the flowering fields, the rolling plains, the golden sunsets - the cattle have developed a deep love of their country and are intensely patriotic. So much so, they can be a little judgmental of other “extravagant” cultures, not quite understanding why others would not lead lives as simple and happy as theirs. Still, they are known throughout the world as trustworthy, kind folk who only wish that all others could be as content as they.

And now....

For the next chapter in the Book of Lore, we'd like to do something special. We're letting our supporters pick which character's past we'll delve into next. The poll will remain open until the Them's Fightin' Herds crowdfund reaches 265K, and the backstory for the character that you all pick will be published soon after. Then we'll repeat the poll for all the remaining characters, whose stories will be revealed for every additional 15K afterwards. So if you have a favorite character whose story you can't wait to hear (or if you've ever felt like telling me what you want me to write next), vote now and tell all your friends to vote, too!

Oh- and make sure to please spread the word to help get to the next 15K!

Click here to vote for the next character, and click here to help the crowdfund.

Thanks for your support - and forgive the puns.
