In the northern corners of Munchkin Country, lives the Poppy People. It's an isolated collection of flower people that enjoy their isolation from the rest of the land of Oz. The wicked witch of the West would not go near the Poppy People, due to their potent abilities of putting people who get too close to sleep, similar to the deadly poppy fields that rest outside of the boundaries of the forest and emerald city.
The small village of poppy people is relatively worn down, with rustic buildings that resemble pieces of forest detritus that one can usually find when on a walk. One of the most prominent buildings is an old, overgrown skull of a Munchkin that fell prey to the poppy people years ago. Despite the fact that they are only the size of your average poppy flower, the poppy people are incredibly vicious fighters.
Some of the more notable poppy people in the village are the leaders, with an elderly poppy flower that's wilted down and hunched, but she's wiser than all the other poppies, and so she rules them and guides them. She also parlays with the Queen of Mice, to make sure no unnecessary bloodshed happens between their people.
The other leaders of the poppy people are their war champions, which are thicker poppy people who have small spines for defence. They know how to fight, so usually they don't do any sort of speaking with the delegates from other kingdoms.
Due to their ruby hue, people have always rumored that Glinda, Witch of the South, was the one that somehow blessed or created them. Here's their location on a small map, plus the munchkin skull house!
