Halflings

I just can't get over how much they look like children.

Description

Halflings are usually over three feet but rarely over four feet in height.  They come in two general variations: country halflings and city halflings.  Country halflings tend to be more easy-going farmers,  spending their time tending their fields, relaxing, or having celebrations.  City halflings  are usually more active, always moving around and chatting with people.

Culture

Country halflings have a laid back culture, prefering to sit around and relax when they are not working their fields.  They are skilled cooks, and several country halflings often come together to prepare great feasts for their villages.

City halflings tend to live much more fast-paced lives.  In contrast to their country cousins, they are always moving around, making friends and being jovial.  City halflings are also somewhat more likely to become thieves or undertake other criminal activities.

Religion

Country halflings tend to worship local harvest spirits and gods.

City halflings usually, if they are religious, follow whatever religion is practiced by the people of the city they live in.

Affiliations

The halflings of Kasland tend to associate more comfortably with their fellow native Kasland humans, who have more in common with their way of life, than they do with their more recent Harmonian overlords.

City halflings mostly identify as citizens of whatever city/nation they live in.  They are fairly common within the Mage Republic,  some cities of Kasland and various free cities.
