Going where no gnome has gone before?

Where does Zep get the chutzpah to do the things he does? Was he born with such an adventurous spirit, or was it something else that turned this shy halfling into the household name he is today?

Being from Bavaria makes Zep unique. Bavarians are the fat jolly germans from the South, rather than the more one click germans in the north. He enjoys Lebkuchen from Nurnberg, a spicy biscuit made with Cinnamon and Gluewein. Bavarians are a little like hobbits in that they love to tell stories about adventures, but avoid getting into any.

Zeps life was completely changed when two things happened, firstly he saw a French movie called Amelie, which told of a gnmome that visited places all around the world. "My goodness," he thought, " We can't let those frenchies get the better of us." and so he was off. He decided to visit his freinds in another part of Germany. "No point in travelling too far from home, you never know when you may need a bratwurst." So off he went to Dresden, which is in the heart of Saxony, and formerly part of East Germany. There the locals were very freindly, but incomprehensible. Zep found that he had to brush up on his Saxon, luckily the Wagners gave him a dictionary.
