Halflings

People on the edges of thw world, there's always a penney to be earned in the cracks of the world that people have forgotten about.

History of the Halflings.
 The Halflings were created by Avandra during the times of the Godling Empires. Although some Halflings built small rural communities, many gravitated to the growing Human cities. This started a co-operation between the two races that has endured.

 After the Awakening roused the dragons from their slumber leading to the destruction of the Godling Empires, it was the Halflings who spearheaded getting the trade routes up and running allowing the remaining cities to rebuild and thrive. They were instrumental in the gathering power of the Aldacian Empire which grew out of the ashes of the Awakening and ended up almost rivalling the ancient Iokharic Empire.

 As the Aldacian Empire crumbled into factional infighting after the assassination of the entire Royal family the Halflings tried to remain politically neutral to protect their interests in the many merchant houses throughout the Empire. This led to some viewing them as fickle and self-serving.

 After the chaos that followed the rise and fall of the Dark Empire the Halflings have remained a key part of many cities, and are often the bearers of new from across the world.

Halflings of the current age.
Halflings of the current age are found in every corner of the realm, if there in money to be made a Halfling will try to get there. Welcomed by many as bearing news of far off lands they are often seen as loveable rouges or by the less generous as selfish sneaks.
