Why, how, what, when, where, who, are all the most common words heard. While others may feel this stage in a child's life is the most annoying, this is seen by kender parents to be a beautiful stage in life. Some do not give proper answers — not for the reason human parents might not give them, but because this way it will further encourage the child's curiosity. A community usually refers to a sociological group in a large place or collections of plant or animal organisms sharing an environment. ...

It is at this age kenderkids go to school — but not school as we know it. Kenderkids often learn because they want to, or because it is interesting. For example, when their uncle comes back from traveling and tells them about a dragon's treasure horde, and how many coins there were, they will want to learn to count. When told about the ruins of Kith-Kanan's ancient elven stronghold, they will want to learn history. But this doesn't just mean they will learn "standard" education.

They will also play imaginary games of adventure, where they may have to steal a dragon's horde, defeat the Gnoll King, or find a magical scroll. These will usually teach them skills like stealthy movement and "handling". Kender learn to handle items at this age, but of course they never realize it.

Childhood

At the age of seven, kenderkids start to wander about the city. There aren't many strangers there, as they will have invariably known all of them as "cousins" or such. They start to drift from one mentor to the next and develop close friends. They learn skills like fishing, reading and writing, very basic math and life skills.

They also begin to develop roles and jobs of assisting elder kender in this part of their life. The skills and lessons they learn in this part of their life usually reflect what kind of person they will be when they grow up, and that is also reflected by the people in the town.

Teenage Years

During this time, kender start to shirk away from their duties and seek out experienced adventurers in their town to teach them skills with weapons, stealth, and other adventuring skills. This is often done in the form of games that involve physical activity. For this reason, the next levels of "Kender Wranglers" are known as "Game Masters". They teach kender the aforementioned skills.

As kender reach this phase (13-19) not only do they seek out these Game Masters, but they also become more active participants in Kender Moots - social gatherings where adolescent kender can show off their newly found skills in games and demonstrations.

Kender also start to experience love in these years. They begin to flirt with other kenderkids of the opposite gender. They may coyly take a pouch off the other kender or sneak up and put something they found in an attractive kender's pouch.

Settling Down

Most kender settle down between the age of 30 and 50 years old. This is a gradual process, however. It often involves the kender wondering what's happening back home, and deciding to go there, or unconsciously wandering back. They may stay for a bit and then go back wanderlusting. Eventually the traveling will get shorter and the visits home longer until they return to their city.

Kender may build a house, but this is hard because of the rarity of a good kender carpenter. They may hire a carpenter of another race to do this.

Death

When kender die they have a funeral in which the people who knew them express their grief. Even though kender view death as the next great adventure, it doesn't come without a price. However, kender are quick to understand that for every death there is a new life, and don't linger too long on it.

Traits

Handling

Kender have an odd trait that is rather like Kleptomania, where they unwillingly or unconsciously pick up objects. Kender see this as the uncanny habit of finding things that have dropped into their pouches by accident, picking things up in the streets, finding "junk", and generally getting things that belong to other people. This art is known as "Handling" for them, and is one of the reasons they are very unpopular among the other races of Krynn. Kleptomania (Greek: κλέπτειν, kleptein, to steal, μανία, mania) is an inability or great difficultly in resisting impulses of stealing. ...

Kender don't seem to think there is anything wrong with this, and get genuinely surprised when they see the things that have fallen into their pouches. Kender oppose thieving vehemently, and thus consider being called a thief or cutpurse a great insult to their dignity, ironic given that Kender are inborn with every natural skill that is ideal for a thief.

Kender Handling is known to get Kender in to deep trouble. Usually, the owner of the item angrily tries to reclaim the item, which can be deadly if the owner in question is a Minotaur or Draconian. On rare occasions, Kender find cursed artifacts such as a ring that forcibly teleports them from place to place, wands with powerful spells inside, and on one occasion, a statue that can Polymorph the owner into an adolescent Bronze Dragon.

Chinese dragon, color engraving on wood, Chinese school, 19th Century The dragon is a mythical creature typically depicted as a large and powerful serpent or other reptile with magical or spiritual qualities. ...

Another aspect of Kender Handling, is their enormous natural curiosity. It's said that the worst thing you can do to a Kender, is isolate it. Trained and otherwise brave warriors have degenerated into a state of sheer panic when hearing a nearby Kender say, "I'm bored".

Kender also have uncanny lockpicking skills, which is a favorite pastime of theirs, and almost every Kender carries a lock picking kit with them. Much like everything else, this is like a game to Kender, and if, for instance, one were arrested, he would likely unlock his shackles or prison door, then go complain to the guard that it was too easy and they should think of upping security. The only reason a lock is ever on the door to a Kender home is to amuse any guests who might stop by. Lock picking is the art of unlocking a lock without its intended key. ...

Taunting

Kender have a very sharp wit and tongue, and as such, are masters at the art of insulting people. Kender see great flaws with most of the insults directed at them ("Thief" and "Cutpurse" aside) and take delight in showing people what a real insult is like. Kender seem to have a wide repertoire of insults for any race and any occasion, and have no clue when is the right time to stop insulting someone. An insult is a statement or action which affronts or demeans someone. ...

They also wrote the Dark Sword trilogy, the Death Gate Cycle, and the Sovereign Stone...

Fearlessness

Many speculate that the two above traits are byproducts of the kender's odd fearlessness. This is a physical trait of kender — they cannot feel fear. There have been incidences where kender have stood near huge monsters and wondered if they could say hello. This article or section does not cite its references or sources. ...

Kender rarely feel fear, and most only feel it through magical means. For example, one of the most famous kender, Tasslehoff Burrfoot, has felt fear through magical means — at Shoikan Grove, after being subject to dragonfear. This fearlessness results in an almost permanent optimistic attitude and smile. Because literally feeling no fear means not being restricted very much, kender are always willing to try new things, whether that means traveling to a different place, playing a new game, learning to ride a dragon, or even dying an interesting way.

The kender mentioned above, Tasslehoff Burrfoot, is one of the few kender to ever experience real, non-magical fear. However, as Tas described it, this was not because of fear for himself, but for those he loved.

Curiosity

Kender are known for their extreme curiosity, a trait which carries the potential to get them into trouble. Possessing an inborn obsession with new or interesting objects or areas, kender often find themselves driven by impulse to "handle" something or explore unfamiliar terrain. Because of this, kender enjoy maps greatly, even making their own (with great enthusiasm) to add to their collections. They also have a tendency to involve themselves in issues or procedures they should stay out of due to this trait, often causing chaos to ensue. It has been said that the most dangerous word a kender can ever utter is "Oops."

Weapons

Hoopak

A kender weapon, the hoopak resembles a cross between a slingshot and a spear. The hoopak is a long wooden staff with two prongs and elastic at one end and a sharp metal point at the other.
