Hafling

His home, dug out of the hill into the soil of the skyland, was cozy and plush, a collection of fireplaces kept it comfortably warm. Dini looks up at the walls, trophies of the old days were lined up there, a silver plate from the dread king’s banquet table, the dagger of Idris Vao, a tooth from a great Tyrannosaurus. Next to those was something more precious, pictures of his family on his farm.

The halflings of Orizon, or “the little folk” as they are sometimes called, are mostly homebodies. They establish and live together in their simple rural communities. These communities are connected with huge connected family trees. Most halflings can come to know exactly who they are related to simply by asking their community’s elders. Halfling communities are typically located on smaller skylands, where they have spread out to form farming communities. When they live near other races, halflings tend to form agrarian sociecies on the outskirts.
Halflings, regardless of most, are known as welcoming hosts. Halfling inns are famous for warm fires, good food, and low seats. But halflings are also considered to be notorious pickpockets, so it’s always advised to keep one hand on your purse in a halfling inn.
If a halfling community grows too large, if they run out of room on their own skylands, or begin to push too far into their neighbor’s territory, a sizable portion of the community will pack their goods into trundling caravan airships and sail out to find somewhere new to establish themselves.
Most other cultures consider it in their interest to protect halfling villages, but this does not always translate to providing them with equality, and halflings can be treated as second-class citizens, if they’re recognized at all. Those halflings who are seen as more than peasants have had to fight for that recognition.
