Halflings

Halflings  are one of the five races created from clay around -20,000 NE, together with humans, dwarves, gnomes, and goblins. They are very common throughout Siltshore and Seasort, and especially in the south.

Halflings were made by Claeus and given life by Spyrit, which is also their parent god.

Halflings speak Hobbit and Common, and many are interested in foreign languages.

Sub-races

 * Lightfoot Halflings (light skin, light to dark hair): Lightfoot halflings, or hobbits, live in southern Seasort, bordering Farrin, Deltile, and Rawine. They also live in Siltshore, bordering Mediculo. Hobbits love music and cooking, and live simple lives. Lightfoot halflings are the most common subrace. Most hobbies include gardening or making wood sculptures, but some of these halfings really like (the less dangerous side of) adventuring.
 * Stout Halflings (mat-brown skin, usually light hair): Stout halflings are rare. Most live near Norethrope, and this has led people to believe they have dwarven blood. These durable, hardy halflings never give up. You can try to poison them, but it won’t work. The stouts are by far the best friends of the gnomes, the other inhabitants of Seasort. This is because stout halflings are rare as well as the gnomes. Most stout haflings get really itchy on their hands when they see a gemstone, or when they’re holding a pickaxe in front of a rocky wall, which is probably dwarvish instinct.
 * Ghostwise Halflings (pale skin, dark hair): Ghostwise Halflings are nomads that live around the world and also namely in the plane Mount Celestia. Their culture views their family or tribe as the most important thing in life, and many go on quests to search for their ancestors’ history. A strange trait this subrace has is the ability to talk telepathically with people who stand near them. Some say this is no more than a simple trick, but others view it as a pagan magic.
