Halflings

The truth of the halflings can almost be considered one of the greatest mysteries of the world. They hold no great ancestral lands, no ancient kingdom of their kin. They simply have always been, always mixed among the crowd, always working hard on their farms or groves. In the ever-changing landscape of the world the halflings have been the one thing that could be counted on to just be there. A joyous and friendly kind by nature, they love nothing more than a song by the hearth and a tale to tell over supper. Having almost the perfect mix of hardworking homebody and the thirst for adventure, the halflings of The Evergreen Realms have been there for nearly every great battle, every great quest, and every grand kingdom that has touched the world. Outside of humans, the halflings of the world are the most adaptable race, being able to pick up almost any skill, job, or talent they set their mind to. From great magic wielders, to great warriors, to even a few kings, halflings have laid claim to everything the world has to offer.

Biology

The diminutive halflings survive in a world full of larger creatures by avoiding notice or, barring that, avoiding offence. Standing about 3 feet tall, they appear relatively harmless and so have managed to survive for centuries throughout the turmoil or nations. They are inclined to be stout, weighing between 40 and 45 pounds. Halfling skins range from tan to pale with a ruddy cast, and their hair is usually brown or sandy brown and wavy. they have brown or hazel eyes but the occasional child is born with blue or green eyes.
