The Rabbit Folk live in underground warrens they call commots, where the peace is kept by knights led by a reeve. All the warrens are ruled by a king, currently one Lapin XXII who spends his days at leisure in the opulent burrow he shares with his harem.
Rabbit Folk balladeers tell of the tragic fall of a sister Hara kingdom whose warrens were invaded by a giant rattlesnake. In the tales, the undying king, maimed by the snake's vemon, roams the land in disguise, searching for a noble Hara (or any other hero, really) to restore his kingdom.
Hara are shorter than humans and thinner of limb, but sometimes plump in body. Their fur may be any color from white to black, with some shade of brown being the most common.

Delightful. Animal-kin races always interest and amuse me.
Hmmmm. I think I know where in my world I could put the hara.
It's funny, in my poetry class right now I'm teaching La Fontaine. Between that and this post, I feel the sudden temptation to come up with world with nothing but animal races in it.
Excellent! My Middle Sea world has bunnyfolk, too, called Koni. I'm going to save this one, though, and hope that someday I'll get to play one in someone else's game.
Thanks guys!
@Chris - If I was going to straight up reskin, I think you could easily do dwarves as badgers, halflings as rabbits, forest gnomes as raccoons, and elves and foxes, with only the barest mechanical tweaks.
