Legend holds that in a divine fluke, the Halflings were created by Zif. Like their maker, they put a great deal of faith in luck. Halflings are amiable creatures and enjoy celebrations, good food and drink, jokes, and friendships. They tend to live slightly longer than humans, the oldest having been said to be 140 years.

Appearance

Halflings are right short, usually 3' to 4' tall. They're often portlier than Men, with bright eyes and slightly pointed ears. Hair, eye color, and skin tone in Halflings range greatly, but most have curly hair.

Personality

Few love a good laugh as much as a Halfling. Halflings are even likely to laugh at a great practical joke at their own expense. Most Halflings have an insatiable curiosity that often lands them in trouble; older Halflings are seen as busybodies and gossips by youths. Halflings are easily excited and sometimes quick in speech. Many Halflings are quick learners and very insightful, especially with age. Their small stature and simple demeanor make them less noticeable in a crowd than a human.

Habitat

Halflings live in cozy wooden and earth cottages grouped into villages and small towns. Halflings usually abstain from big groups; you'll never find a halfling city.

Adventures

The curiosity of Halflings is probably the driving force behind leaving the village. Halflings will sometimes travel in small groups of close friends, but occasionally tag along individually with a group of "bigger folk". Due in part to their happy-go-lucky demeanor, Halflings can get along well with Men, Dwarves, and Elves.
