Halfling (Haa-Fluhng)

Halflings, diminutive in stature but resolute in spirit, predominantly reside within the enclaves of Litchmeuse, Caena, and Liverley, finding their home within the nation of Reaver. These diminutive beings, essentially miniature versions of humans, stand roughly half the height of their larger counterparts. Historically marginalized and often excluded from other nations due to their size, Halflings encountered a transformative shift when Reaver, an enclave established by Deathbringer during the tumultuous Dark War, welcomed them into its fold. Despite their physical limitations, Halflings exhibit resourcefulness, utilizing small-scale weaponry such as rocks and miniature catapults for defense, compensating for their lack of physical prowess. Their settlements comprise modest thatched huts nestled within Reaver or on its outskirts, forming tight-knit communities, unified by their shared homeland and the newfound sense of belonging within the nation.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Halflings are humanoid beings, bearing striking resemblance to humans but remarkably shorter in stature, typically standing at roughly half the height of an average human. They possess proportional body structures akin to humans, featuring the same basic anatomical components but in a more compact form.

Growth Rate & Stages

Halflings undergo a relatively similar growth trajectory to humans, maturing and aging at a comparable pace. Their childhood spans the initial years, advancing through adolescence to adulthood. Their life stages generally parallel those of humans but occur at a proportionally shorter timescale.

Ecology and Habitats

Halflings have adapted to thrive in diverse habitats but primarily inhabit regions of Litchmeuse, Caena, and Liverley. Within Reaver, their chosen enclave, they dwell in small-scale settlements featuring modest thatched huts, fostering close-knit communities that provide a sense of belonging.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Halflings share dietary habits similar to humans, consuming a varied diet that predominantly consists of grains, vegetables, fruits, and small livestock. They forage and farm in their settlements, relying on agriculture and communal hunting for sustenance.

Biological Cycle

Their biology isn’t substantially affected by seasonal changes or specific cycles like hibernation or shedding. However, their diminutive stature and physical limitations necessitate resourcefulness and communal cooperation for survival within their habitats.

Behaviour

Despite their physical limitations, Halflings exhibit resilience, resourcefulness, and adaptability. Their behavior is marked by a strong sense of community and familial ties, fostering close relationships within their settlements. They often employ cunning strategies in both daily life and conflict, compensating for their lack of physical strength.
