Halflings

Halflings are the third largest race within Aggi-Ekka; but generally are only known to inhabit The Lost Waters region, a small select few being adventurous enough to travel out or intelligent enough to take a high-level position.

Below are their dispositions, physicality, and whatever else.

Disposition
Halflings are usually a simple-minded debaucherous folk that are fond of creature comforts, bawdy humors, parties, and delicate jobs.

Many have been known to write stories and songs, with many a travelling bard or court fool being a member of the Halfling race.

Some Halflings have been known to be quite adventurous while others have been known to be studious; but they are often simple-minded and illiterate due to where they are born, and as a result, don't often rise beyond a miller, tavern owner, or etc.

They are a peaceable people with many of the same traits as Humans, as they often live among them. Their ancestry has left them a very subservient race that finds it very easy to follow rather than to lead, and bow down to whoever shows power. That is not always the case, though.

Physicality
Halflings are descended from the ancient Goblins known to inhabit The Silverfrond Mountains in the ancient days. These Goblins could mate with Humans and produce Halfling offspring, being eventually bred out of existence and leaving only the near-Human Halflings.

Halflings have large bulbous or hooked noses because of their ancestry; and olive skin, a distant memory of the green-tinged skin they once bore. They have long, nimble fingers and arms, a rounded belly no matter how little they eat and exercise they get, pointed, elf-like ears that are round at the base instead of entirely dagger-like, and black curly hair that often has green tinges to it. Halfling feet are large and leathery; and so tough that no shoe is needed.

If under the sun for too long, Halflings' faces can become lined and weathered; and their eyes are more effective during the night and in dark places than during the day and in bright places.

Halflings can stand up to 4 feet tall at their tallest, and 2 feet tall at their shortest; though many of them are often stooped or bent-backed due to their ancestry as cave-travelers.

Religion
Living among Humans who praise The Elder Religion, Halflings have adopted these beliefs casually, often toasting and praising The Son for his calm and playful outlook on life.

Halflings aren't really a religious folk, and usually find religion silly. They bear more idolatry toward living folk than abstract ideas of men sitting among clouds and casting magic spells.
