Halflings exist all over the Mainland. Their homeland has been gone for centuries but they frequently stick to their nomadic root and are frequently on the move along the roads and waterways. There is no halfling language. Instead, halflings may choose one bonus human, demihuman, or monster language. They also receive the standard language of their origin, but few halflings would ever consider themselves a real citizen of any country. Available sub-races are Boat Halflings who tend to be more sedentary and stick to the rivers, canals, and lakes or the Road Halflings who tend to be more nomadic and constantly traveling along the roads and trails between settlements or (maybe?) the peculiar Ghost Halflings. | Halflings exist all over the Mainland.
