In Contea Gentile, to accommodate other races such as dwarves and elves, there will also be a location in a forest with gypsy caravans. I imagine that the dwarves who were friends of the halflings who went to visit them after the adventure with the dragon, slept in their caravans located on the borders of Contea Gentile.
This is the caravan we took inspiration from:
Do you know what the word “ABRACADABRA” means?
It is a very ancient magical word that roughly means “What I say, I create.”
That is, I make what I want happen.
Well, when I decided to make the dwarf caravan I said that word, hoping it would work. And it did!
Ok, far be it from me to brag about what is only a tiny piece of the Contea Gentile puzzle, but I would like to tell you that with perseverance, will, love and above all enormous support from you, the first Dwarf Caravan has finally arrived in the shire!
The first, real, step towards making this dream come true.
I thank again all those who contributed to this project, the journey is still long and perhaps it is more beautiful this way, we will still have many opportunities to marvel and enjoy all this together!

CONDITIONS OF ENGAGEMENT
In the book and in the film, the most famous halfling in the shire finds himself having to sign a burglar's contract drawn up by the Dwarves with a thousand footnotes and paragraphs. You can find the reproduction of this contract, in English, everywhere, but this one you see was hand-written by one of the loyal "citizens" of our project, in Italian and with references to the Journey that the contea Gentile is undertaking: the Construction and the Birth of a place out of the ordinary!

OFFICIAL COIN
OF LA CONTEA GENTILE
Minted in 2022, it depicts the symbol of the shire on one side, the Acorn. While on the other side the face of the nicest mayor there is, Nicolas Gentile. This coin was created by one of the loyal "citizens" of the county project, to support and grow it.
Attention: obviously this currency has no legal value in Italy or other countries (perhaps only in imaginary ones). This is a gadget/souvenir from La contea Gentile. Certainly more emotionally valuable than other currencies in circulation in the world!

Always carry the Official Passport of LA CONTEA GENTILE with you! This is the most excellent identification document: every self-respecting resident of La contea Gentile, presumed or current never leaves home without it! This passport was created by one of the loyal "citizens" of the shire project, in support and growth of it.
Fill it out with the information, characteristics and details that distinguish you: gender, species, class, hair, eyes, build, particular brands and much more!
