Halfling
At one time humankind, being an
unstoppable force in Etharis, earned the
enmity of most races. All who tried to
oppose them were met with destruction.
One race, however, chose not to
contest the humans’ ascendency, but
instead decided to cling to their backs
for survival.
The Era of Expansion did not affect the
population of halflings like it did other
races. Even though the halflings did
not agree with the violent ways of the
humans, they fell silent, deciding that
being subservient to the stronger and
better-armed human armies would
guarantee their survival. After the
division of the humans into different
empires and kingdoms, halflings fit
in perfectly, many acquiring positions
as librarians, bookkeepers, teachers,
or scholars.
Shorter and weaker in stature than
dwarves, halflings are a peaceful race.
What most of these tiny folk seek in life is a place to settle in peace and quiet, far
away from the atrocities of war. They enjoy good
music, fine food, and a good laugh when they can.
This does not mean that this race shuns
adventuring. Tales of halfling rogues or scholars,
seeking ancient and hidden knowledge, are some
of the most famous there are.
Unlike gnomes, however, they care little for
jewels or inventions. Halflings use the lore they
gather to build impressive libraries on specific
subjects. Within the countless volumes of these
libraries lie generations of knowledge pertaining
to the halflings passions, from cooking to
brewing, bee keeping, and much more.
