Halfing - race

There are two particularly ancient halfling societies: Rhodani and Witchwood halflings. Racial Trait: Collecting Proficiency - An inquisitive nature makes halflings natural collectors, they have a +1 chance to gain a Skill-up when collecting.

The most common type of halflings, the Rhodani are the most likely to give in to their desire to wander. They are at home living side by side with folk of many different races and cultures. The Rhodani were the founders of a halfling colony in the Underlake - originally called New Neptamet. Already established underground, they were in a unique position when the Magewar made the surface uninhabitable. They were unstinting in their efforts to help the refugees and are remembered fondly for their generosity to this day. Many have stayed close to the original settlement and reside in the greater Underlake region, although most of the day to day administration is now handled by the Witchwood halflings.

The Witchwood halflings are an organized, orderly, and industrious race. They are built to last, and fiercely defended their homelands against threats from which their Rhodani kin would simply flee. However, unprepared for the Magewar, and uninterested in taking sides, discretion prevailed and they sought refuge with the Rhodani halfllings in the area now called Underlake. They are now well established in the Underlake region.
