Jansen

The Jansens were a family of gnomes that lived across the west coast of Faerûn during the 14 century DR.
==Activities==
While members of the family held a number of professions, including inventors, adventurers, criminals, performers, and herbalists, their primary interests were in the cultivation and use of turnips.
==Members==
The Amnian Jansens were a diverse and eccentric group of gnomes.
Among them were the siblings and siblings-in-law;
* Jan Jansen, an inventor and adventurer who lived in Athkatla
* Elgar Buttercup, Jan's brother, whose skin was supposedly made of charcoal
* Burt Wonderkind, the griffon-baiter
Their cousins;
* Glandig, who had twins named Tot and Tat
* Josephine, who became involved with a "gully dwarf"
* Beeloo, another cousin who had a history of run–ins with the law
* Richard, an uncle who tried to make nude theater popular in Waterdeep
* Kylie Jansen, a turnip peddler from Athkatla
* Tat and Tot Jansen, twins from Athkatla
The aunts and uncles:
* Sara, who attempted to take over the world with turnip pies laced with psychogenic herbs
* Gerhardt, who despite his incoherent ramblings was somehow privy to the activities of the Hidden
* Hans Jansen, a great-uncle who was an accomplished alchemist
* Furnbottom Jansen, an aging adventurer whose career was ended by a hungry griffon
As well as:
* Yanna Jojannsen, Jan Jansen's niece, who was charmed by the vampire Hexxat and died while searching for the tomb of Dragomir
* Eduardo, an inventor whose creations were displayed in Waukeen's Promenade
The "Culver Jansens" were those from the family who were exiled from Thunder Mountain and settled in the city of Culver.
* Uncle Pinto, who sold the rights of Culver for a bag of turnips
* Erb, a courtesan and former chest-maker who settled in the city of Neverwinter
==History==
According to their family the city of Culver has not existed since the "great Turnip Famine of '45".
