General Description and Biology

Halfling are miniaturized humans. They are short, but not stocky. They do
not look like children, but simply small humans. They are generally
proportional, though they do tend to have large feet and hands. Their hair
tends to be wavy or curly, but straight is not completely unheard of. Their
features vary much like humans, making size their distinction. They have a
very strong sense of taste, more so than almost any other race. Their high
metabolism makes drives them to eat several meals in a day or they get
cranky.

Basic Personality

Generally jovial and seen as peacemakers and communicators. They are not
confrontational and oftenn try to deescalate situations with jokes, They
tend to prefer safety and the comforts of home. Many like to stay in their
communities, tend to their farms and gardens and while away the hours
reading and spending time with friends. But, like all races, it varies.

Origin and Lore

Halflings are thought to be the progeny of dwarves and gnomes, but this is
just a rumor. They are one of the many races that was created on Tirradyn
when it began. They say the gods made this a Race designed to help others as
friend and peacemaker. It is said that the wanderer Ziazan favors them for
their welcoming nature and fine cooked meals, though she did not create
them.

Naming Conventions

They usually have names that are 2-3 syllables long with a family name and
place of origin. Example: Hiphata Periwinkle of Potter's Field, Basinge
Kettleberry of Greenland Gardens

Preferred Habitat

Prefer rural farmlands and pastoral villages over large cities, but it is
not unheard of to see halfling in the larger cities either.

Society Structure

Community is very important to halflings. While it may be their halfling
community, it may also be their found community. They thrive around others
and have a knack for understanding people and intention. Marriage is
important to halfling as is the understanding of their family tree. Most can
recite their family several generations back and several branches wide. It
is not uncommon for them to know who their cousin on their mother's side
twice removed through marriage is.
