The Song’o halflings of the Mwangi Expanse have only recently allowed themselves to be seen outside the Laughing Jungle once more. Imperialist nations dismiss Song’os as capricious, cowardly halflings who wear unusual jewelry, but this ignorant stereotype misses the rich and generous culture found within the Laughing Jungle. Those from the Expanse usually view Song’os as an occasional surprising ally or a persistent thorn in the side, depending on how they treated Song’os in the past. Because of halflings’ stealth and quiet watchfulness, travelers may find that they’ve already earned themselves a reputation with the Song’os without ever actually having seen them.
While some might see Song’os as just another clan of halflings living pastoral lives of simple travel and adventure, those who’ve had extended contact with them know otherwise. More than a few starving and shivering Vidric revolutionaries have rounded a thicket to find a woven basket filled with warm bread, colorful blankets, and surprisingly useful small knives. Adventuring parties who became lost in the jungle sometimes emerge with a strange tale. For some, on the last morning before they found their way out, they’d wake with significantly more rations for their journey. But if the party had a foul purpose in mind, they’d awake to find all their possessions missing and no sign of how the deed was done.
Most Song'o hail from the Wildwood Heritage, but all Heritages are represented among the tribe.
