Most would be laughing, or believe the news of it is a hoax, and even once they realize the kender are serious, they would underestimate them.  Kendragons(Yes plural. Once news of the first kendragon got around, others would start trying how it happened for themselves).Those who would oppose the kender would often be involved in their own wars.  Also, the elves would continue their foreign policy(Let the humans deal with it), and the Gnomes would merely study how it affects the world.Many would simply not care enough to fight.    All in all, most people would be annoyed, but many would, seeing the reforms made by kender,(Democracy, laws enforcing treating others well) would grudgingly accept it, and not care enough to fight the kender armies.Magic.  While few kender take the path of High Sorcery, those who do are very powerful, and the mages who would oppose them would be terrified by the thought of fighting against kender mages(Not to mention the missing spell components.)Any thoughts on this?</blockquote>
