The Hill is a vast country of mice. It has settled lands and frontiers, badlands and oases. On the Hill mice can be peaceful farmers, stealthy hunters, brave soldiers, wily politicians, intrepid adventurers, or greedy treasure hunters.

For generations, the mice of the Hill have lived in relative peace: farming, raising their young, brewing and building and prospering. According to the wise old Mole Friends (the Hill's historians and enchanters) the Hill used to be a single kingdom, ruled by the kings and queens of Mus Muridae, the royal family. The Great Uprising was a chaotic time of upheaval as the long-suffering mice on the Hill overthrew the monarchy and sought a new way.

The survivors of the Great Uprising realized that they must cooperate or perish. They designed a form of government wherein representatives from each region of the Hill would meet in a rules making body: the Grand Committee. The Grand Committee decides on rules that provide for the greatest good possible for the majority of the mice on the Hill. Not everyone is happy with every rule, but mostly things work; there is peace and safety for those that want it, and adventure for those who crave it.

This is Pax Rodentia - the time of peace on the Hill.
