Short Men

The Short Men are a race encountered by the Apprentice and her friends in the Great Southern Wastes. Like Bezos, they are leaving the Wastes because of the upheaval following the death of the witch Juliana. They are described as swarthy and hairy.

They are apparently very strong, for the Apprentice witnesses one Short Man drag a heavy chest full of iron tools through the swamp with little effort.

Lothar has an intense dislike of all Short Men, and almost comes to blows with them.
