Halflings

Halflings have always been natural explorers. It is often said that a Halfling can navigate by the stars in broad daylight. Traditionally nomads, Halfling havalynds (as their communities are called) always stuck to the heartlands of Drakitosh, following the rivers and streams of the interior while trying to avoid being eaten or enslaved by the larger and more nefarious denizens of Erothel. Many, many centuries ago, a great plague wiped out many halfling havalynds. In an attempt to reduce any further losses, the remaining havalynds split into smaller communities (referred to as fraevalynds) to avoid exposure to possible carriers. As the Halfling race recovered from this devastation, some of these fraevalynds became associated with the larger settlements of Ormiron, trading their knowledge of Drakitosh geography for shelter, protection and medicine. Halflings played little part in the Severance as the plague was still ravaging them at that time

Halfling PC Background and Goals

 * As a Halfling PC, you are either from one of the more reclusive fraevalynds still wandering the heartlands or you are a resident of one of the townships that a fraevalynd had latched on to. Either way you still share your kindred's desire to explore.


 * You may wish to set out from your township and become the greatest mapmaker there ever was.


 * Perhaps you wish to leave Drakitosh altogether and follow in the footsteps of those halflings of legend who voyaged the great seas for more lands to explore.


 * You may be part of a fraevalynd that has had a recent outbreak of plague and wish to find a cure once and for all.


 * Perhaps you even desire to reunite the fraevalynds and restore halfling society to its former days of glory.
