Halflings are a race of short but typically non-muscular folk. They typically look like smaller humans with large hairy feet. While dwarves are sturdy and stocky, halflings are typically quick and agile. Halflings, unlike most other races, typically don't build large political entities, instead preferring to form tight-knit and small settlements in other countries. Halfling culture and society is largely stagnant, and they collectively enjoy building close, tight-knit, and isolated communities, living away from the politics of the "big-folk". Most halflings are content to farm, raise a family, and die in the house they were born in.
There is a large concentration of halflings in Newland, many having migrated to the Commonwealth following displacement from the Pelegonic Conquest.
Halflings tend to come of age at 20 and typically live to be about 200.
