Halflings

Halflings descend from nomadic sheep herders to the northeast.

Halfings tend to fall into two categories: nomadic traders and rural folk. Rural halflings tend to keep to themselves, and although they are reasonably friendly to outsiders bringing in trade, they tend to keep to themselves.

Nomadic halflings tend to run trade caravans or be traveling performers. They are often mistrusted as thieves, tricksters and charlatans, usually unfairly so, but sometimes not.

Though not quite as hated as tieflings and half-orcs, they are still mistrusted, and as such, those halflings who settle in the cities tend to form communities with other outcasts.

Halflings have a comparable lifespan to humans, though in rare cases are known to live up to 120.
