In the fiction the villains can do really horrible actions, but there there is a serious difference between a horror story, for example, where the the moral says that sin leads to punishment, or the intention is the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overton_window" target="_blank">Overton window</a>. "Schindler's List" is a movie what tells horrible things happened in the real life almost a century ago, but the intention is to report these, to avoid it might happen again.  Accidental offenses or honest mistakes are possible some times, but I guess here we have to know when to forgive.* In my game the gullys can count more three, but only in their language, they don't remember the words in common language. And they aren't too dumb, because then they couldn't survive raids by hobgoblings, bugbears, undeads and other hostile creatures. (Even if they are too clusmsy as slaves, they could be "farmed" as food). Their cultural level is very low, but it is not a "genetic flaw" but by fault of unlucky social circumstances, closer to the stereotypes about rednecks and hillybilly (if you allow me to use these words). And the kenders aren't too childlike. They aren't kleptomaniacs, they don't enjoy with forbidden actions as robbery, but they are more "compulsive collectors". Some time the bad fame about things what disappear and later these appear in their pockets is totally true, even when these kenders are really innocent. The reason is some times when kenders are exploring, they go to the Feywild for a little time, even when they didn't realise at all. For this time in the Feywild within the Krynnspace these are "chosen" by special kamis or spirits, a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haltija" target="_blank">haltija</a>, a wicked version of shoulder guardian angel, and this is a bless and a curse. The haltija protects the kender with "good luck" to survive menaces and challenges, but also this likes to create troubles to have fun with the kender (because this is their way to "gather" glamour).</blockquote>
