Halfling

Biology
They are short in stature growing to be roughly the hip hight of most humans.

History
Within their lore it is said by the halflings they come from the moon Altrz, fleeing from some great unspecified calamity that takes many forms within their stories. The calamity seems to be natural in origin, with quakes, floods and famines being common elements. This event, whether it occurred or not underpins allot of the religion and stories of the Halfling people.

To many this claim seems ridiculous, and it is often not lost on the Halflings that their beliefs are strange to the other tall folk. However weather through pride or a sense of identity it is something that many cling to.

What is not explained however is their sudden emergence, even compared to the Dwarves who where born out of shards that fell from Mt. Ajal, the Halflings and communities seemingly sprang up out of thin air, communities, culture and economies fully fledged.

It is from Halflings that humans adapted many festivals from,

Moon High Day, a celebration of gift giving and merriment where colourful cloths are worn and singing, drinking and dancing is done on the shortest day of the year, eliminated by the 8 moons.
