Halfling

Stout and resourceful individuals, Halflings are a common folk to see, especially in the lower hills of Agartha, and the plains of Magnum Opus.
Named as such since they, at their oldest, only grow to about half the height of other races, with the exception of other Stout folk, Halflings are typically seen as quick in just about every way. Quickfooted, quick-handed, and quick-witted to boot!
Most Halfling societies revolve around farming and forms of hospitality, you haven't had Inn food until you've had Halfling Inn food, but there's also a vast among of Halflings who partake in more nomadic and mercantile forms of living, along with a large amount who use their skills of speed to stay on the less-than-legal side of things.
When the Second Cataclysm occurred, and mortals were created out of Mortal Forms, Halflings sprung from stalks of grain that were brushed in the wind. While they existed as clumps of mana, these colonies would typically not be mobile, instead preferring to experience the world and the mana of the wind, but upon being granted limbs and sentience, found they could move as swiftly as the breeze as well.

Naming Traditions

Unisex names

Halflings originally didn't have their own language, speaking a dialect of the more widespread Dwarvish. But, as the millennia went on, the speed and slang that Halflings used with each other shaped it into a tongue unlike any other, cementing it as their language. [Real life equivalent: Welsh]

Ideals

Beauty Ideals

General Halfling society doesn't put too much focus on physical beauty, taking people as they are and being done with it, but one thing that can be considered eye-catching is how many interesting baubles a Halfling has. These are typically worn as accessories, or posted within their homes for the less nomadic families, and is a sign of how much they've collected, experienced, or created.

Gender Ideals

There aren't any strict roles placed on AFAB or AMAB Halflings, but some hold the belief that female Halflings are better at crafting than male Halflings, who are in turn occasionally thought of as better with negotiation or haggling.
