Halfling

Halflings are a shorter humanoid race. Typically joyous and nimble, they often have close familiar or friendly units that they feel at home with.

Civilization and Culture

Common Customs, Traditions and Rituals

Most halflings live in small, peaceful communities with large farms and well-kept groves. They rarely build kingdoms of their own or even hold much land beyond their quiet shires. They typically don’t recognize any sort of halfling nobility or royalty, instead looking to family elders to guide them. Families preserve their traditional ways despite the rise and fall of empires.
Many halflings live among other races, where the halflings’ hard work and loyal outlook offer them abundant rewards and creature comforts. Some halfling communities travel as a way of life, driving wagons or guiding boats from place to place and maintaining no permanent home.

Almost all halflings speak Common to converse with the people in whose lands they dwell or through which they are traveling.
