Halfling

Halfling

HUMANOID

Cherished and guided by gods who value life, home, and hearth, halflings gravitate toward bucolic havens where family and community help shape their lives. That said, many halflings possess a brave and adventurous spirit that leads them on journeys of discovery, affording them the chance to explore a bigger world and make new friends along the way. Their size—similar to that of a human child—helps them pass through crowds unnoticed and slip through tight spaces.
Anyone who has spent time around halflings, particularly halfling adventurers, has likely witnessed the storied “luck of the halflings” in action. When a halfling is in mortal danger, an unseen force seems to intervene on the halfling’s behalf. Many halflings believe in the power of luck, and they attribute their unusual gift primarily to [The God of Luck]. The same gift might contribute to their robust life spans (about 150 years).
Halfling communities come in all varieties. For every sequestered shire tucked away in an unspoiled part of the world, there’s a crime syndicate like the Boromar Clan in the Eberron setting or a territorial mob of halflings like those in the Dark Sun setting.
Halflings who prefer to live underground are sometimes called strongheart halflings or stouts. Nomadic halflings, as well as those who live among humans and other tall folk, are sometimes called lightfoot halflings or tallfellows.

As a Halfling, you have these special traits.

Within the country of Saren Halflings are an abundant species. No one knows where their roots come from and they can flourish in many different cultures, landscapes, and climates. They are known for their tight knit communities and believe in the importance of family and loyalty. Noting the rate at which they populate and their large family groups, they are often the butt of jokes about how extremely fertile they are. With the proximity and time with family and friends there can often be large rifts that form between groups within or outside of families. Their food is often centered around easy to share meals, that go a long way, like stews and pastas. In some areas it is known by many to not mess with a halfling, as they may return in numbers.

Halflings tend to gather in bunches and typically where there is one in a city there are many. You can find them in every country, but they are typically not in every city you would find. Well known cities that have many halflings are Zystro, Semonika, Kigozi, and Minam. Each of those communities are diverse and have strong differences in actions and cultures, but still hold strong to their families.
