Halfling

The peaceful halflings of Incantre at once time lived in rural settlements far from the major kingdoms of the taller folk of the land, but their open towns and farmlands unfortunately left them among the first to suffer the wrath of the dragons. Their crops were burned, their hillside homes destroyed, and their population nearly vanished in the smoke. Those who did survive now dwell most often in small family groups, although some few (usually younger) halflings do venture to join other settlements throughout the land.

Similar in stature to dwarves or gnomes, halflings tend a bit more towards a round physique. They sport slightly pointed ears and almond-shaped eyes, and a quite large and almost always bare pair of hairy feet. Their hair and eyes tend towards brown, but green eyes or blonde hair is not unheard of.

Most halflings are comfortably referred to as homebodies, preferring to stay close to where they dwell and rarely venturing further than they can travel in a day at the most. They tend to produce what they need for themselves, and so are skilled farmers and craftsmen of common goods. Rare is the halfling who dabbles in magical arts or weapons play, but when pressed they are stout defenders.
