On the backs of many of the gargantuan creatures are mobile settlements, inhabited by the smallfolk, who travel with the dinosaurs. They have comfortable homes which consist of a large saddle-like fixture and several poles sticking up and out from it with hammocks hanging between them and a large tarp over the whole thing to shelter from rain.

By living on the backs of sauropods, the gnomes are able to easily traverse the territory as they graze, which allows them to mediate trade between settlements and harvest grain as they go. Both the gnomes and sauropods contribute to their mutual defense from predators and raiders (mostly raptors and raptor-riders). The gnomes, to keep their mounts appeased, also clean and groom the dinosaurs.
Love it. Reminds me of a similar civilization from the book Red Sails in the Fallout, though those were humans on the back of giant sloth.

But aren't Sauropods mostly of the long neck variety that need trees to eat from? (I am by no means a dinosaur expert)
