Halflings

Halflings were once a simple farming people spread across the hills and valleys of the Everwilds. However, a vast number of their kind were displaced during the Cataclysm. Finding themselves homeless and taking refuge in the cities of Dunnsmouth, Cystalist, and the Celestial City, many halflings found themselves taking up the profession they are more well known for today. Burgling. If a thieves guild exists, chances are it’s a halfling’s family profession. Most people look at halflings with suspicion given their propensity for thievery and organized crime, but some halfling farms still exist and not all halflings walk the path of the criminal.
