Halfling
Description
What this people is, and the time it is given.
Halflings are harmless and think of little besides eating well — but never lose sight of their hands, for they are also unscrupulous thieves. The smallest of the playable peoples, halflings are known for their jovial temperament, natural liveliness, curiosity, and love of pranks. Often misunderstood, other peoples see them as unruly, tiresome, or even criminal.
