Homebrew Inchling(revised) Species Details

You are a member of a very rare race, in fact there were only 40 existing inchlings when the race began and there is still a relatively low amount worth of the race. The origin of this race is a bit of a strange one however. It all started when an old human cleric priest and his wife could not have a child. The priest then prayed to his god, the name of which has been lost to time, and he stated that he would take any child gifted to him even if it was smaller than his pinky finger. The god took this statement quite literally, and so the first of the inchling race was born. The god looked at the child of his new diminutive race and thought it was kind of funny, due to this, he made other normal humans in the village have inchling children. They did not like this! The other humans found out about the cleric priests wish, and then killed him and his wife, for this was seen as a curse that he wished for. They then tried to kill all of the inchlings! A war was waged, but with the natural stealthiness and normal human strength the inchlings came victorious over the humans. These races are now natural enemies which is why the race refers to themselves as inchlings rather than tiny humans. The inchlings population however was devastated by the war, and they had to rebuild the village for people of their size. They, rather than choosing their leader based on strength, chose based on intelligence. The race became so accustomed to this that intelligence now comes naturally. The race survived by trading the things they have created with other races, they became natural traders. They had even helped create the ever so famous warforged race. However, even with achievements like these, most humans see them as a curse upon the world and other races usually don't take them seriously due to their size. And they have only one clan in the whole world, the village where they were created is where they live with this clan, however, some reasons they might go on an adventure is either to see the world, trade their goods, study other cultures, or you know if it's an evil one, it could be traveling the world for power or greed. They are nearly as versatile as humans when coming up with reasons to go and explore, like maybe you just kind of wanted to because you can, I don't know.
