Halfling
Known for their hospitality and family oriented natures, Halflings are most commonly found as inn keepers on the roads between the various towns and cities of Eagos. They love to hear stories of adventure and cunning, and are often ready to welcome almost anyone into their homes. They live in tight-knit families, where little is not known or shared between the other members, and any slight against one is seen as an offense against all.
Halflings also make prodigious doctors, running many of the hospitals in most cities, where they hold an iron grip on the business. Be it a back-alley surgeon, a small clinic, or a massive state sponsored hospital, there is no doubt that a Halfling family is involved in the running of it.
