Halflings

Subraces
''The halflings are typically a lively people who have had a difficult past and now face dwindling numbers. Long ago, Queen Grief culled their numbers to create the greylings, and ever since they have been working to regain their sense of identity. Whether this is in a caravan, or in cities, it is a mark of the halfling people that they live life with a degree of optimism for the future. They bear the stigma of a thieving stereotype in cities due to their size, but it is in no means true for every member of the small folk.''

Most halflings speak Common, as any other languages are dependent on cultures and the ethnicities above.

History
The halflings have not had the easiest times in the last 2,000 years, having had a prosperous nation once prior to the Great War. Queen Grief corrupted a great number of the poor souls for her own diabolical purposes, thus creating the greylings. Since then the halflings have been a primarily nomadic people, traveling in caravans and rarely really settling down. Because of this, they tend to be one of, if not the most likely races to be found traveling with Sooleran caravans.
