Gnome King Kyrië

Gnome king Kyrië (Dutch: Kabouterkoning Kyrië, pronounced [kaːˈbʌutərˌkoːnɪŋ ˈkiːrijə]) is, according to local folklore, the leader of the legendary gnomes (kabouters) who lived in the Campine region of the province of North Brabant, the Netherlands. These gnomes had their base in the village of Hoogeloon, from which they journeyed into neighboring lands.
